I'm running a NextPVR server(Version 3.9.2) on a backend Windows 10 computer.
I'm running Kodi Krypton Version 17 beta 7 on a Raspberry PI.
I have many recordings of off air TV shows and am frustrated that Kodi's genre information is obviously incorrect.

As you can see in the attached picture, Genre information on the NextPVR server is complete and correct.
However, genre information on my Kodi device (utilizing the NextPVR addon) shows the genre to be "Other, Unknown".

I've also been experimenting with using JSON to control and retrieve information from my Kodi device.
When I request RecordingDetail using JSON from my Kodi device, I get the following response:
"genre": ["Other", "Unknown"]


I also get the same result when I run Kodi version 16 on a Windows PC.
The only common element is the NextPVR addon and the TVDB addon.

Has anyone found a solution to this problem?

If I am viewing an in progress recording in Kodi when using the official PVR client. If I ff and hit the end of the recording it seems to stop playback and dump me back into Kodi rather than simply resume paying live tv. Am I doing something wrong? This is not a good experience.

Or do I have to map each channel individually?

I am running windows 10 64 bit, and have installed Nextpvr yesturday, and it scans channels fine and plays video fine, records programmes fine, but audio doesnt seem to work on this, I noticed at first it said audio wouldn't work without the decoders set, so I set the decoders up in the settings, audio didn't work and it flashed this message up once again?, for some unknown reason, so I checked, and sure enough I had set decoders for audio, as well as video. So I restarted nextpvr, to be sure settings were implimented, however audio still doesn't work on this, but playback of a recording is perfect on wmp classic. I currently have klite mega codec pack installed, so decoders arent a problem.neither he-aac , or ac3 track are working on this application, but both are perfect on wmp classic. I have tried setting audio output to both default, and to the speaker output on the motherboard sound, which I use.the dvb-t dongle is a realtek 2832U compatible device from china, and works on other apps, but considering the recorded content is fine, this doesn't seem to be any of the problem.

Some of my channels are OK for live TV with the IOS client, but for other channels the audio and video never shows.
On my pc server I can see that the live TV stream is started, but it never starts on the IOS client, and after a short while the server stops the stream.
Attached 2 set of log-files; One where live TV is OK, and another set of logs where it doesn't work.

Another thing; Shouldn't it be possible to run more than one client at a time?
Using a 4-tuner HDhomerun I watch live TV on one IOS device. If I start the IOS client on another device, and try to watch another channel live, the server will use the same tuner, thereby interrupting the live TV on the first client.

Newer members add on older threads that they think is a relevant issue/problem to their current issue. I did and got scolded by a senior member.

Maybe the admin could go in and lock all the older threads so newer members aren't ran off of this project.

If my memory serves me right there is an addon to VBullentin that allows a thread to auto lock after a predefined period of time.

Is it possible to return the PC to standby after nextPVR wakes it up to perform the EPG update?

hi folks
I am having lots of problems with videoReDo opening TS files to edit on windows 10 never had the problem on windows 7

thanks for any input

Hi. I thought I would try and watch a previously recorded show over the Ethernet LAN in my house from another PC. It plays ok but I cant figure out how to Fast forward or skip forward or backward. I can pause the recording and then restart it but the other commands elude me.

I have tried from a windows 10 PC with Edge and Firefox and also from Android 6.0 with Chrome on a smartphone. What have I missed?

Many thanks!

Hi,

Is it not possible to use HTTPS to access the web interface? Would like to encrypt traffic for external access.

Thanks!
