I am running NextPVR v5.0.8 (200823) on Windows 10 Professional x64. I have an "all series" recording scheduled that I'm trying to edit and is throwing an error upon saving. I believe it may be due to special characters in the title?
Steps to recreate:
In the web interface, I clicked on the Scheduler tab, changed the dropdown to recurring, click on the show to edit, change the directory to something different, click Save. It says "Scheduling Error" and "Unable to schedule recording at this time"
Recording Name: Law & Order: Special Victims Unit
Recording Type: Advanced
Channel: [Any Channel]
Advanced: title like 'Law & Order: Special Victims Unit'

I tried removing the ampersand and colons from both the name and filter to see what would happen and got the same error. I am not having this issue with any of my other ~15 scheduled recordings. I tried deleting and recreating a few times, no luck...
sub: I've been working Martin on some slowness/timeout things with knewc recently. And I just captured a possibly good example with a theory of "why".
I watched a recording, stopped it, hit the Record button to delete it, confirmed, and then knewc timed out (the alpha test version I'm using times out after 10 seconds with no response from the server).
Code:

But then the NextPVR GUI server seems to call RELOAD_RECORDINGS 20! times
before finally rendering a screen to send back to knewc
Code:
2020-09-28 12:24:54.067 [DEBUG][11] DoCompositeRendering() took 93.5994ms
Unfortunately, by that time, 11 seconds have elapsed and now knewc has timed-out!
What I realized looking at this example, was that the recording I had just deleted was the only one in that folder. So when NextPVR was going to go back to the recording list after the delete completed, the folder it would have normally gone back to was no longer there. I'm guessing that this is (part) of what trigger calling RELOAD_RECORDINGS so many times.
I'm hoping that you can take a look at the code and see what is happening!
For a week or so Kodi Matrix has been offering NPVR Addon v 7.0.0 but when I try to install get the error [ Kodi Binary Global GUI Version 5.15 could not be satisfied. ]
Using Matrix Alpha 1 64 bit on Windows 10 with Aeon Silvo Skin.
Will I need to update to the nightly - or is there more to it?
Desk top app loads and plays sub titles have to manually turn off each time I open app, is there any way to set desk top app to start with the sub tiles in the off position setting
Thanks in Advance

After upgrading to version 5 I am unable to record to NAS but can playback from the same NAS. The error message displayed in recordings says 'HDHR stream not available', but the log shows the actual reason is the recording file can not be created because The user name or password is incorrect. for accessing the NAS. I start the NextPVR service using my user account which can access the NAS for reading and writing. If I change the recording directory to a local drive, then there are no errors.
I do not understand why this happens.
I dropped my zipped log files in the editor, but they do not show as attachement.

On my Debian Linux NextPVR server I incorrectly edited the config.xml file which caused a config-broken.xml file to be generated and created a new default config.xml file. In the new config file the default paths for Live TV Buffer and Recording Directory were the default Windows file paths.
This is not a big deal as I just changed the file paths in the UI settings page to the correct ones. But shouldn't the default config.xlm contain the original file paths from the Deb installer?
Logs attached just in case. The earlier log is when I was messing with the config file I think.
