For V4, I have a Postprocessing.bat file for compressing recordings to .mp4's using ffmpeg. By tweaking the settings, I have been able to store and archive shows to a 1/3 of the storage space without sacrificing noticeable quality.
With V5 under a Linux environment, I am guessing I will have to translate the .bat files to Bash script?
I thought I would give V5 a try in parrellel to v4, so have installed it on my win64 machine in Program Files/NPVR
the software launches, discovers all my cards and loads the website
I then configured my folders & thought I would tune a channel or two to test on a kodi client.
However when I press scan channels its says device failed, I have tried with V4 running and with the service + nextpvr shutdown. same result each time.
Not sure if its worth mentioning, but using NPVR v5 through the Emby plugin to Emby and to Emby on a Fire TV, twice I've started playing TVNZ1 (coincidentally ?) and its just stopped playing after a (indeterminate) while. After that I can't tune again on the Fire TV cos NPVR server seems to have crashed. If I start it again, then I can carry on with TVNZ1. It might be after the server has been running for a few days.
So, not sure if you'd want any logs, or if they would show anything seeing as the server has been restarted ?
Whenever I click "Scan Channels" via the web interface, nothing is found. How do I perform a full scan without knowing any frequencies whatsoever? TVHeadEnd scans all available channels and streams them perfectly, but I can't do the same with NextPVR v5.
NextPVR detects my twin tuner card:

I'm confused about what numbers to put in the following three boxes:

P.S.
I can't wait for the stable release on Linux so keep up the exciting work!
I have vesion 4.24 on my laptop and v3.3.15 on KODI. I have IPTV's testing with a total of about 14000 channel. It is quote a bit. I know. On my laptop all the 14ooo channels show up and the guide not perfect but sufficient. When I launch the PVR in KODI it attempts to load channels but never does. The configurations are correct, with the same ip. I tried the version % eta as someone said it can handle a larger channel line up, but obviously the versions on my laptop both handle the big list. So my question is KODI version 3.3.15 not able to load that many channels? I tried the version 5 beta but couldn't get to the settings option. Thank you
Most of the times that I start the server, the following error displays and the channel doesn't load.
Did anyone had the same problem?

Actually still a few year to go, lucky man. Happy Birthday sub (belated as usual) thanks for giving us a present with v5 this year. It is quite amazing.
