I use web app. When mouse moves over top right area of video, channel list pops up. It does not disappear by itself. Only way without interrupting video for it to disappear is moving mouse over other area of video which makes banner of channel and episode info appear. After moving mouse off video, both banner and channel list disappear together. Please consider having channel list disappear by itself.
This is one I forget to test during pre-release but the standard FixedImage screensaver locks up when it fires up when it is fullscreen mode & the only way out of it that I have found is to end the task through TaskManager (it doesn't lock up when running in a window though).

Updated from v6.1.5.231022 to v7.0.0.241105 today and have two new issues when playing recordings with the Windows client:
OSD is not timing out.
Resume always starts at the beginning.
Setting UseLayeredOSD to false appears to resolve the OSD issue.
Note: The most recent NShared.dll and NUtility.dll have been installed in C:\Program Files\NextPVR and C:\Program Files\NextPVR\client.
Has anyone tried the FLIRC USB devices and thought they were useful? It is frustrating to jump around without having two or three different time frames to skip forward and backward like Kodi utilizes with successive key presses increasing the amount of time skipped. Also, I think that since Kodi works so well in this department, somebody should to copy their way of skipping forward and backward. At the same time, I do see the benefit of the new way of skipping around in NextPVR by executing the skip time with confirmation of the "ok" button on MCE Remote. I get way less stutter and audio is less likely to get out of sync with only one skip used. Occasionally, I do have to skip forwards and/or backwards to re-sync audio but that probably has more to do with the K-lite codec pack in use and recording signal quality. I mainly skip during sporting competitions and commercials. 30 seconds is about the right amount to skip to next play called in football games. 1 minute skips work well for commercials. Sometimes, 10 seconds can be useful as well for some football games and for replaying a segment.
If nobody has any experience with the FLIRC, I may ask for one this Christmas and see what it could do. I also use the Logitech K400 a lot for typing and find it is a great alternative for media centers. I did get a Logitech Harmony many years ago at Christmas and found that it really was useless and took just as many key presses to accomplish the same tasks. I have found my Yamaha receiver has the four colors that can be mapped to control of 2/3 different things and that is very useful just to change inputs quickly and very smart feature.
Also, if you didn't already know, sometimes pointing your IR remote at the ceiling is quicker and works better than aiming in forward such as when under a blanket. The performance Firesticks actually do seem to help in Kodi by re-syncing audio more quickly when seeking. Have not noticed much difference apart from Kodi.
Hardware: HP MCE Remote / USB IR Receiver (circa Windows XP/Vista Era)
Setup: Kodi via Firestick (Bedrooms) and Nextpvr App in Windows (Living Room)
When I import channels on an IPTV device with a UNC path (on a local server) for the m3u file and the EPG XML file and Update EPG (Fig. 1 and 2 in the Screenshots link below) - the EPG source is not imported for any channel (Fig. 3)
But, when I add the EPG Source manually (Fig. 4) and Edit the Channel details individually using this UNC path to the XML file (Fig. 5), the EPG is successfully updated (Fig. 6).
What is preventing the EPG source from being imported initially when the channels are imported into the IPTV device?
I've got several older Pi's that use this flavor of NextPVR. Will the image on Docker Hub be updated to the latest rev 7.0.0.241105 as has been done for the amd64 image? The fixes and improvements list looks long and wonderful, and I'm hoping my older boxes will be able to migrate to it. Thanks.
I'm thinking about automating the Update Channels process using a bat file with NScriptHelper.exe -service:method=setting.m3u.update
Is it possible to use this method to Update channels only on a specific device or a group of IPTV devices, instead of all the devices?
I'm on version 7.0.0.241105. After doing a manual Update Channels on my IPTV device, it updates only the channels I had selected previously. This is great and thanks for this added/improved feature.
But in the web client, the TV Guide shows a duplicate entry for each of the channels that were updated. See attached screenshot. Is there any way to prevent or remove the duplication ? Thanks.
