Quick form of this question: Is there a device or any setting alterations that will cut down on the 3-4 second delay that I'm experiencing with an HDMI source fed through NPVR via a HD PVR 2 (connected via USB 3.0) from my Windows PC to clients throughout my home (Kodi running on Ras Pi 5's).
Long form info:
I purchased a used HD PVR 2 from eBay to test this setup. I already had a setup established that's been working for years with QAM Cable and PCI 918 Tuners as well as IPTV sources. I want to add a Fire Cube that feeds through NPVR. The reason is to have sports games ran throughout my house that broadcast on apps that I can't get (at least I don't think I can) through Kodi, such as Peacock.
I set up the device with no issues. Made a channel and called it "HDMI" on my channel list. I can play it fine with no issues, other than a delay of about 3-4 seconds. When I watch the feed and press the remote, it takes about 3-4 secs to see the button press move on the screen. Now that I know the setup is achievable, is there a different device or different settings that might cut down that delay? I wouldn't have an issue paying for something more expensive than what I currently have, if it would help.

Device shows as "HD PVR 2 Gaming Edition" on WinTV10
Device shows as HDPVR "Local Recorder (Siena Crossbar)" on NPVR Devices page

I'm unable to login w/ same username an password on PC#2 do I have to establish a 2nd acount for PC#2?
I recently had to roll back my database to a previous backup copy due to a problem caused when updating the channel configuration.
I intended to use the current recordings-backup.xml and recurring-backup.xml files to bring the restored database up to date.
Importing the recordings-backup.xml file restored just the missing recordings into the database. Any recordings which already existed in the database were ignored.
Importing the recurring_backup.xml file added all its entries even if they already existed. This led to duplicate entries in the recurring recording database followed by duplicate recordings being scheduled.
It would be nice if importing from recurring-backup.xml only added entries if they didn't already exist (behaviour similar to when importing recordings).
Is there a way to not record episodes that are shorter than a specified duration? Some of the shows I record have a 'behind the scenses' kinda episode that is typically 3-5 minutes long that I have no desire to record. Not the end of the world to just monitor and cancel these, but it would be nice to just filter them out altogether.

Kind of offtopic here, but is there a way for kodi to load the guide data images? they work fine in uidroid, its my biggest gripe. Its what always brings me back to uidroid
Hey all! Long time supporter of UIdroid. I would love if we could change settings to something like up+center and have hold center bring up the menu to record, and just click go to the channel. This option would be awesome, as would support for channel up and down (maybe a config to set what button would do this). Sorry for the new thread for this and I know its a big request. I have supported for a long time and love the app but these options would put it over the edge. I tried using jellyfin but it just isnt as good.
After a long period of successful automatic daily EPG updates they've started failing leaving the guide unpopulated.
The scan of 11778 (SKY) completes followed by the terrestrial 56200 which also completes however, the scan of Freesat on 11426 doesn't happen and the tuner log doesn't show any attempt to tune for the scan.
The system has been re-booted but the same error is occurring. There have not been any changes made to the system.
Any suggestions.
Tuner log completing 11778 scan with no further tuning showing:-
