I struggle with Kodi quite a bit lol. I always have. I just am not a huge fan of the setup. However, I really really like the NextPVR integration within Kodi so I'm giving it a try. I have a Shield TV 2019 Pro and thought that it would be able to handle the Hardware Acceleration. For some reason if this is turned on the NextPVR feed becomes almost unusable. I would think the Shield could handle HW better than SW or am I wrong. What are ultimately the best settings, within Kodi, to have to get the best possible stream from NextPVR, which is loaded on a Rasp. Pi4, btw.
I'm testing on a Roku Streaming Stick 3600X Roku Software version 10.0.0 build 4195-24 NextPVR UI Version 1.11 build 10
I already know that this Roku model cannot decode AC3. I don't know about its video format support situation, but I was able to play a NextPVR TV recording (without audio, of course, as I'm not hooked up to a digital audio decoding receiver).
However, when I go to Live TV, I get:
Starting Device. Please Wait... Receiving Data ([various increasing numbers]) Streaming Failed (transcoder exited) -2 The connection timed out.
I know the problem isn't my NextPVR server, as NextPVR Live TV playback is working just fine on my Fire TV Stick 4K within the NextPVR Kodi add-on.
I have been trying with no luck to get nextpvr to be able to access a usb hardrive to store recordings on.
I am a complete noob when it comes to linux.
Hoping someone could tell me exactly how i do this?
Just to note it is debian on a raspberry pi, and have tried some guides that get you to mount the drive, but just get told it is already mounted.
Hi, I just updated 5.1.1.210601 and found a problem.
I use nextpvr with emby and when I try to watch live TV every 5 to 10 minutes, it stops.
I have to go back and start the channel again, but it happened again and again ...
Maybe I'm missing something ...
I had no problem with the previous version at all.
PS: Can I downgrade to nextpvr to an older version?

I have updated the Pluto TV Extra with VOD support for NextPVR 5.1.2. The new VOD feature in NextPVR 5.12. allows you to watch VOD live in the web app but you can also download VOD as recording for later viewing in other NextPVR clients.
Quote:Added support for VOD for IPTV users. This is accessible via the new VOD menu option in the web app. On the VOD page you can either click an item to watch it, or click download and it'll download it as a recording.
Added support for VOD Extras, for extendable on-demand content from elsewhere
Minor skin improvement to make horizontal menu look better with Direct2D rendering.
Updated versions .net core and dependencies
Minor improvements to date display in search page
Minor improvements to the Settings->Channels page, and group management
Fixed issue with editing existing manual recording in web app
Fixed issue with 'resume' in web app opening a new browser window/tab
QAM channel scan now defaults epg source to 'none', and no longer prompts for EPG update when scanning QAM channels
Fixed bug with QAM channels creating a unique group for every channel
Improvements to CORS support in the web server
Fixed issue with NScriptHelper -rename
Added method=channel.xmltv api for getting listings from NextPVR
Added directoryID to recordings returned from API
Added support different DVB scan file directory on Linux using NEXTPVR_DVBDIR environment variable
Fixed issue with overriding User-Agent on IPTV services that use redirects
Added the ability to force treating a xmltv url as gzipped, by adding &contentType=application%2Fgzip to the url
Improved logging on digital tuners
Fixed a couple of bugs with SAT>IP support
Fixed issue with auto transcode feature
Fixed issue with web server stream seeking behavor
Added new config setting <ScheduleWakeups>, that can be set to 'false' to disable any OS wake up requests

Fixed issue with channel names that had trailing spaces in channel metadata
Added verbose logging around looking for missing files, to help diagnose issues
Minor tweaks to tuning strings used for DVB-S2 with SAT>IP
Added system.remove.missing api, which can be used from NScriptHelper, to trigger the application to remove missing recordings from the database (when files no longer exist on disk)
Fixed issue with running NScriptHelper on some platforms
Issue: - Cannot start live streaming a channel on an HdPvr Source if the HdPvr channel is being recorded
- Concurrent Live Streams from an HdPvr Source work OK if the channel is not being recorded
The issue does not happen on a Dvb-S or Dvb-T source
Scenario 1:
a) Start to view a channel on the HdPvr Source -> Live Stream works OK
b) Start to record the channel -> The recording starts (and records OK) and the Live stream continues
c) Stop the Live Stream -> The channel continues to record
d) Start to view the channel live again -> Fails
e) Stop the recording -> OK
f) Start to view the channel live again -> Live Stream works OK
Scenario 2:
a) Start to record a channel on the HdPvr source -> Recording starts
b) Start to view the channel live -> Fails
c) Stop the recording -> OK
d) Start to view the channel Live -> OK
Scenario 3:
a) Start to view a channel on the HdPvr source -> OK
b) Start to view the same channel from a different machine -> OK (NPVR Backend Status shows both clients active, so concurrent live streams work OK)
c) Start to record the channel -> OK (Backend status shows 2 live feeds and the recording feed)
d) Stop either feed and attempt to restart the live channel -> fails
An HdPvr capture card requires a dedicated Set Top Box, so a scarce resource which cannot be easily increased. This bug prevents viewing a channel if you also want to record it - unless you are able to start the live channel before the recording starts! It is obviously possible to watch (on multiple feeds) whilst recording, provided the live channels are started before the recording starts....
The attached logs show an example of scenario 3.
The clients used were Kodi 19.1, but the same results are seen if using the Npvr Web interface (the logs get more noisy due to transcoding!). Note that the test server is on the December NextPvr build, but the results are the same on the March build
Hey, I'm using the Linux version. When I try to scan channels it never scans. I tried using w_scan and get several channels. I've looked at logs and can't tell what is failing. Help!! Thank you.
Here are some of the scanned channels fro w_scan
