If I want to change the target nextpvr SERVER hardware, I need to change the corresponding mac address of the new server to allow the wol feature to work correctly on the client. On a PC client running kodi, I simply edit he settings.xml file in kodi's pvr.nextpvr folder of the client with the mac address of the new server.
But when using kodi on a FTV 4K client, I am not sure how to go about setting/resetting the mac address (it is grayed out) when I want to target a different server platform. Any suggestions on how to do this?
Right now, I can set the IP address of the new server in the kodi client, but the mac address of the previous server is still showing (grayed) in the advanced settings page. How do I get the the client to recognize the correct mac address?
linux mint newby and npvr very very newby.

any help would be appreciated.

MX-Linux is Debian 10 based and has both systemd and sysVinit for their service manager. I was able to install NextPVR but it returned errors. I discovered that the default was sysVint when booting MX-Linux. Thankfully, there is an option to make the default systemd at boot so after doing this NextPVR runs on MX-Linux just fine.
I am curious though, is it possible to get NextPVR to run with sysVint? I asked this question on the MX-Linux forum https://forum.mxlinux.org/viewtopic.php?f=104&t=57469 and his response was that I would need an init script suitable for svinit.
I had set up recordings, but now want stop recording them. I can't figure out how to stop them. Even if I go to Forget, or Cancel, a few weeks later it begins recording again.
I see that I can download the logs from the webui 'About' page.
This gives me a .zip file. Functional, but awkward; Where are the logs saved in realtime? Is there a way to watch them (e.g. 'tail -f')? I don't see output going to syslog, or any files in /opt/nextpvr that are log files .
I noticed something a bit odd. When I'm not logged into the forums I can see and read the announcements subforum just fine. As soon as I log in it tells me I don't have permission to see that subforum. If I then log out I can view it again.
The mouse pointer is disappearing when using the channels pop-up during live TV.
Steps to re-create:
- Launch V5 Desktop App
- Start a live TV program
- Right-click on the screen and select Channels
- Move the mouse pointer to anywhere inside the channel pop-up
- Wait until the on-screen information disappears from the TV screen
- Move the mouse pointer to another control within the pop-up
Poof! it's gone.
It will return if one moves the pointer back into the TV screen(which brings back the on-screen info) and then quickly moves to the channel pop-up. Again, after the on-screen info is removed, the pointer will again vanish from the pop-up when the pointer is moved to a different pop-up control.
