I have installed latest NPVR and have been trying to use it via NextPvr Kodi Addon on Kodi 18 Alpha Nightly 30/3/2018 64 bit on Windows 10 Pro 64bit.
Strange thing is that if I enable timeshift, channel never plays and addon just hangs.
Kodi log shows the below:

Since doing a clean install of NPVR, the return of the No Available Capture Device has returned, this time with a 404 to boot with this particular provider. This despite the service working on other platforms.
I also use other IPTV providers with NPVR with no issues before or since the install.
I suspect their customised playout server software is playing havoc with the software here where as others use Xtreme Codes.
So, I started the Android app on my phone and selected a channel to watch. While I was watching the TV stream I started the Android app on my tablet and selected a channel to watch. As soon as I did the stream on my phone froze and would not play any more and the stream on the tablet started playing. If I start watching TV on the tablet first and then select a TV channel on the phone, the same thing happens. I'm not able to stream both at the same time. I am able to stream the Android app on one device, and stream via the web browser or Kodi on the other Android device at the same time. Log files attached.
In preparation for cutting the cord, I created a sand-box system to see what and how NPVR works with OTA channels. I tried to use one of my Ceton 4 tuner cards, but that didn't get very far, so I'm trying an old KWorld UB455 I had in my junk box. Just about everything I tried works, except the TV guide. My question is: Should Schedules Direct be used to populate the guide for OTA channels, or should I try something else?
Here's what I get when I specify Schedules Direct....

If it "should" work, then I'll repeat my test and submit the ZIP of the logs.
1. Can the Movies plug-in from here be set up to group movie sets together like in Kodi? For instance, all Captain America movies would be grouped into an entry/folder labeled as Captain America Collection. Upon selecting that particular collection, then the individual movies would be displayed.
2. Can the order of the plug-ins be rearranged? Since adding the Movies plug-in, it is displayed at the bottom of the list like this:
TV Guide
Recordings
Live TV
Search
Videos
DVD
Exit
Movies
I would like to have the Exit button be at the bottom of the list, if possible.
I'm new to NextPVR and have managed to get it working with Kodi. But I can't get the TV channels to appear in the order I want them.
I have got groups working okay but not the order within those groups.
In Settings/Channels/Channel Details there is the actual channel number NextPVR has found and I thought I could give the channel another number in the next field to determine the order that the channels would appear. I have done this but it does not seem to work.
The channels in Kodi appear to be ordered according to their main channel number. I can order them by Name but that is not what I want either.
The only solution I can see is to put a number in front of the channel name but I would prefer not to do this.
Could someone please tell me what I am doing wrong?

Would appreciate any help to resolve problem.
My C: drive is full (200G) mainly due to the Media and Thumbs directories. I have configured all recorded shows to another 2T internal disc, so I thought I should be OK. I was surprised to see the C: disc full message pop up. How can I fix this?
I also see that recordings appear in the default public videos folder, even though they do appear in the 2T E: drive, as I requested. Should I change the default folder to my 2T E: drive, rather than add a second folder? Right now, it seems that I have duplicates.
In Recording menu, sometimes I see same show being recorded twice.
I can only remember set to record only once. There's no reason to set to record same show twice at same time.
As far as I can tell, it doesn't happen always. I goto Recording menu and most of time I see only one recording for the show.
But sometimes by accident, I see same show being recorded twice.
Also after finished recording, I see same show recorded twice from same time period.
This is strange mystery,
Anybody experienced double recordings?
I have seen in DVRs I used before (with cable), where I can set first however minutes I want recorded instead of recording entire tv show.
Ex: I have 60min show, but only wanna record first 15mins.
How can NPVR do this? or can it?
