I'd like to do some work on the Knewc skins... there are a few issues there that I believe I could contribute to.
Specifically, I can't make any of them work on Android/Touchscreen, though I can get around it by using a keyboard. It seems like it's close to working, but there are bugs that defeat every combination of Kodi and NextPVR skin that I have tried.
The skin selection in NextPVR also seems like it could use some work. It's just opaque to the user what that selection does and how it's used, what should work and what shouldn't. At least, it confused me as a user, and it took quite a bit of forum conversation to figure out what was going on there.
Tried the latest build but the service was not created when I ran installservice.bat as admin and got this message...
C:\WINDOWS\system32>echo OFF
adding firewall rules... starting service... The service name is invalid.
More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 2185.
will start web app setting soon...please wait
For one thing, in the bat file part of line 8 has a syntax error which creates an incorrect firewall rule
program="installpath%Client\NextPVR.exe" enable=yes > nul
So I changed it to...
program="%installpath%NextPVR.exe" enable=yes > nul
The firewall rule was fixed but it still gave me the error message.
After messing with the bat file I got it to work by changing the last bit of line 12 from ">nul" to "> nul"
I just read on the SageTV forum that Oct 18 is the date for the next US ATSC repack. To avoid support requests I suggest users check their zip code on this handy site https://tvanswers.org/when.asp Many cities have been completed and some will be further ahead.
I tried copying my V4 Media>Channels folder over to V5. Worked, but I realized that I'm getting very long channel names that basically prevent the icons from showing up. Using Schedules Direct. I used to get what amounts to an abbreviation for the channels, but now getting a long name. I'm using the same "channel header" that I used in V4.
I can't believe I'm asking this question. I have like 1/2 dozen posts/threads that link at the bottom of the page, "unsubcribe to this thread" meaning I'm subscribed. I choose "Subscribe and receive email notification of new replies" after I first create each post. However when I goto User CP, manage subscriptions it reports I have none. And my email is correct but never get any post reply notifications so my responses are not prompt. My vote is for Discord.
