I've got two NextPVR servers on separate hardware, each with its own purpose and each running fine. I also have the iOS, AppleTV, and Mac NextPVR clients. Each of these clients consistently finds only "the first" NextPVR server, never the second one, and doesn't offer me a choice or a way of declaring server precedence (that I've found). Happily almost all of my interaction is indeed with the found machine, but occasionally I'd like to access the other server. Have I missed something? Thanks.
The NPVR client was used to play the recording of Antiques Road Trip. This worked fine with thumbnails OSD being displayed when mouse movement was detected.
At the end of playback, the file was deleted and the recording of Richard Osmans House of Games selected for playback.
At this point, it was noticed that moving the mouse did not display the OSD of timeline or thumbnails. Pressing the right arrow key then return did move playback to the position relative to the number of right arrow presses.
Stopped and re-started playback but this did not fix the lack of OSD.
At the end of playback the file was deleted and the recording of Expert Witness selected for playback.
At this point [20:39] there is a Skia error and the client has to be exited and re-started.
I have seen this sequence of events resulting in the error/client crash several times.
Any idea what might cause this error? I forgot to press logs button, but have the direct logs if needed. I have since completely uninstalled and reinstalled with copy of configuration and database.

Is it possible to change the time zone for a single channel?
I would like the information in the "TV Guide" for channel 51.3 (Retro TV) to be one hour later than what is currently displayed and for digital video recording. Schedules Direct does not list the channel locally so I use one of my 3 lineups to use Chicago, IL over the air broadcast information.
I live in the Central Time Zone of the United States of America. I volunteer a lot so am out of the house.
Schedules Direct has information for the Retro TV channel via several locations and I have tried using the station location in Chicago IL, Denver Colorado, and Jacksonville, FL. Always the time for the shows is 1 hour early. I cannot record because the time of broadcast does not match time on the EPG. I do not know why the information for this channel is off. But even using EPG information from 3 different time zones it is off by an hour.
I suspect Schedules Direct is adjusting the time based on my actual time zone.
A couple of separate questions to help me learn more about nextpvr..
Where i'm at in the usa we do not recognize the daylight savings time shift. Some programs in the guide have moved 1 hour later but my recurring scheduler still works. that's great..
For instance it's scheduled to record a program at 3am every weekday but it picks it up off the guide as 4am & records it just fine. How?
I'm using the default DVB/ATSC EPG.
I see Ver 7 is available to download. What happens to channel lineups & scheduled recordings if I download & install?
I didn't see an update FAQ anywhere..
I have installed NextPVR via Dockerhub, I do however have some issues when playing back recordings
I have a recording - Great British BakeOff HD - And every time the video changes to a picture of their bake - The stream stalls and the audio continues for a little, or sometimes when moving to a commerical (Something changes in the video ?) it can however have long stretches of no problem playback.
It's worth noting that Jellyfin seems to stall at the same bits
I wiped my new system and installed the latest release from scratch.
I scanned my satellite channels and selected those I wanted.
I did not select to update the EPG at that point as EPG source defaults to DVB/ATSC.
Went to the channel page and selected Auto Map. No option is available to select the Freesat EPG.
Used Auto Map to set all channels to EPG Source "None"
Went back to Auto Map however opting for Freesat EPG source is not present.
Manually sett all channels to Freesat EPG.
Went to About page and select Update EPG.

I updated to 7.0.0.241105 in Docker, and it seems Python (and pip) is no longer included. Or at least I can't find it. I didn't see anything about that in the release notes, and without Python my entire workflow is broken. I guess I'll have to dig up the Docker stuff I did to add python to NextPVR and go back to maintaining my own image.
