A raspberry pi 3 used as a kodi client for NextPVR was becoming too slow for recent kodi versions.
An old low end Windows 10 PC which doesn't qualify for upgrade to Windows 11 was looking at becoming e-waste when Windows 10 support ends soon.
I installed xubuntu and an inteset PC-IRS5-01 and this 10 year old low end PC makes a good kodi/NextPVR client.
xubuntu:
Never ran this before but googling suggested xubuntu is lightweight and runs well on old hardware (it does). Libreelec would probably be a better choice but I wanted to enable hibernation and the tutorial I found was for ubuntu.
This adapter allows turning off/on a PC with an IR remote (see review). In addition to allowing IR remote control of your HTPC's power button, it's actually an RC-6 (Windows Media Center eHome) compatible IR receiver so it can control kodi. Since I have a pulse-eight usb CEC adapter, I'm not using the IRS5's MCE feature, only the remote control of power button feature. It's a pretty cool product for HTPC's and suprisingly rarely discussed on these forums.

While watching an in-progress recording, I tried to skip forward and the backend crashed. Not only did it crash, but it also deleted the recording. The program in question (CTV news) is set to only keep 1 recording, but normally the older recording is not deleted until the new recording is completed.
WebOS frontend was in use at the time. Logs spanning the crash are attached (internal IPs obscured).
Hi,
some time ago, the windows UI (nextPVR.exe) spontaneously started showing video out of synch with audio on recordings and on live watching.
I have updated the application since then and am now using version 7.0.1.241229. The problem has got worse, with audio being ~10 seconds ahead of the video. With live watching, the audio is not only out of synch, it also intermittently drops out.
The bizarre thing is that the recordings play back perfectly through the web interface or through VLC. Live watching through the web interface is also good.
Following other posts on the forum, I changed ALL the decoders (audio & video) from default settings to LAV decoders. This didn't improve the situation.
Can anyone tell me how to get nextPVR working properly?
I have, for instance, Law and Order, set up to record. I had PC issues and now have many lines that show 'failures' (on several different shows). How do I delete multiple lines of failures instead of one line at a time?
Installed uidroid-mediax.apk on my google chromecast 4k yesterday. Everything is working fine except stop button. on initial pressing stop button not stopping, but have to press 2 times on stop button to stop live tv. Not a biggie, but just letting you know. Thanks.
I have this weird behavior on yauclient. When first installed yauclient it works well on both windows mode and full screen mode. But when close the app and reopen
windows mode works well, but in full screen mode when I open now playing channel window by pressing up arrow or down arrow whole screen becomes black and just audio is playing.
I recently purchased 'Hauppauge WinTV-dualHD' and successfully set up channels and program guides within NextPVR. However, when it came to playback or recording I got a streaming fail error. Attached below is my logs. I am also able to stream channels in VLC via Capture Card source so my signal is perfectly working.
Love the desktop app. Every day I manually change the padding for some recordings, these 2 adjustments would be very welcome.
1. Being able to adjust the padding by typing in the value instead of using the arrows would greatly speed up the time it takes. If it was just occasional it would be fine but every day I long to be able to just type them in especially when increaseing to high values.
2. The Pre and Post padding range in the desktop app is -5 to 89 minuites. This differs from the web app which is 120 for both, a welcome increase, though 120 would still be restrictive sometimes (sport running over is one example). Removing the restriction all together would be welcome, if there has to be a cap 4 hours would probably be plenty. I notice once you set the padding on the web app it can't be adjusted again in the web app but can in the desktop app and the desktop app has no problem editing the padding even if it's set outside the range the desktop app allows (which hopefuly makes it a trivial amount of work for these changes if they were to happen).
