With one show with 10 episodes each after each session that you open that folder you end up with 20 entries in the database and 20 files in the Thumbnail cache. Ironically only two files ever get sent over and over. I suspect you will have tons more if you have NextPVR download EPG art.
The point of this is if you have a low memory machine you might want to clean your thumbnails out periodically Here is a guide I found that seems pretty simple http://www.htpcbeginner.com/clear-kodi-t...ils-cache/
Please post any support issues in the support forum.
As always, a big 'thank you' to those guys that have helped out with the testing and with the development of the web app!
From the change log:
Quote:- several improvements to the webclient support
- added support for Direct2D renderer if Direct3D not available. This should hopefully work out of the box on newer Windows installs, without requiring user to install old DirectX 9 runtime, like they had to in the past.
- added support for IPv6 in the webserver
- improvments to security features in web server
- showing available disk space in web app
- fixed a crash that could occur for HDHomeRun Prime or Ceton users (where broadcaster was using a large PMT)
- fixed a crash in NextPVR.exe that could happen when editing a recording created via Kodi with more than 90 minutes
- fixed a crash that could a occur with the metadata screens enabled in Recordings, after selecting 'back' when deleting a recording from the multi-metadata screen.
- added basic drag/drop support for dropping video files on running instance of NextPVR.exe
- fixed a bug that could occur with shows that have a name ending with a period character, like Chicago P.D.
- fixed a bug that could cause listings to fail to load if certain data was null in the database
- fixed a problem with grouping failed recordings on the web app API
- added ability to set channel type on Ceton devices, to cope with H.264 channels
- fixed issue that would cause manual recurring recordings to schedule for the wrong time after daylight savings changes
- http://127.0.0.1:8866/channels can be called to get an m3u playlist of available channel urls
- http://127.0.0.1:8866/recordings can be called to get an m3u playlist of available recording urls
- list view in music is now showing the selected filename on the right of screen, which helps with longer filenames
- now possible to configure whether the left/right arrow keys in video playback do a long or short skip.
- further updates to web app (IPv6 support, increased security, removed need for PIN for remote access in modern app)
This version has continued improving the nlite client application, which provides the same NextPVR interface with you're familiar with, but using an alternative cross platform client. For those interested in trying it out, you can download a Windows build from http://www.nextpvr.com/nlite-win32.zip. To run it, simply extract the directory somewhere onto your machine, and run the nlite.exe executable. It'll auto locate and connect to your NextPVR server running on the local network. A couple of screenshots from nlite, showing you the same familiar interface:
I have the latest NextPVR set up and running well for watching live TV and scheduling TV recordings. My recurring recordings are all setup in NPVR.
I had used XBMC and Kodi in the past with various versions, but without live TV. So far I have been using the NPVR host GUI to watch my TV shows, and it works very well.
I just upgraded to Kodi Jarvis 16.1 (default-Confluence) and decided to give the TV plugin another go. It seems to work well now. I can watch live TV, my tuners are recognized, and the program Guide seems to function OK. My recorded shows from NPVR are all imported to Kodi.
My question is this: When watching the shows from Kodi, can the watched TV shows be managed from Kodi? I cannot see an obvious way to delete a watched TV show from the database and hard drive. Maybe I am just overlooking something? For example, when I have watched a show to completion via the NPVR host GUI, I get prompted to delete the show at the end.
The NextPVR TV Guide (imported from Schedules Direct) has been working great EXCEPT for WNEU channel 34 (from Goffstown NH, virtual channels 60.1 Telemundo - WNEU-HD, 60.2 WNEU-Xitos, and 60.3 WNEU-Cozi). When I click on 60.1 in the Guide, instead of getting the Spanish language programming of Telemundo, I get English language programming which is sometimes listed under 60.3 Cozi and sometimes not listed on any of the 3 virtual channels. Interestingly, the "INFORMATION" I see while watching the incorrect program in 60.1 is still the correct information (in Spanish) that's in the Guide and that pops up while watching the wrong English language program. I know it's not a transmission problem because I still haven't cut the cord with my cable company and my wife records several Telemundo (virtual 60.1) programs every day. Today (11/18 shortly after 9 AM) the Guide listed 60.1 = Un Nuevo Dia, a live variety and talk program in Spanish; what came up when clicked was an English language western not listed on any of the 60.1, 60.2 or 60.3 channels. 60.2 correctly brought me to Lions for Lambs in Spanish - which is what is listed in the program and what come up on the screen when I clicked "watch;" this channel has been functioning properly. When I clicked 60.3 today all I got was a black screen; unusual because until now this channel correctly brought up the program listed in the Guide for 60.3 Cozi.
I contacted Schedules Direct and they confirmed that their listings were all correct (as they are in the Guide for me in NextPVR) and Robert Kulagowski via RT <rt@schedulesdirect.org> was unable to answer what was going on. Instead he recommended: "You'll need to explain what you're seeing on the NextPVR forum so that sub can look into it. What I sent you is the data that we have on the server, and you saw that 60.1 is Telemundo, so I don't know why you select it and then end up with something else."
Help please. I'm investing a lot to cut the cord and stop paying exhorbitant amounts to cable - but I'm holding off on doing so until I can get all of this working correctly.
Thanks in advance for any explanations, guidance and recs you can provide.

As a previous user of the now near-deprecated TV Listings plugin, I miss the friendly dates on recordings - eg Yesterday, Tomorrow etc. Could this be made an option, please?
I'm able to bring up my guide data, and see all my recordings and whatnot, but I am unable to schedule any new recordings remotely. It throws me a repeated error (have to tick a box to tell it to stop throwing this error).
Accessing NEWA from my home network I'm able to schedule recordings fine...any idea why this'd be?
So, I am using NextPVR 3.8.3 with renderer codec EVR, Video Decoders CyberLink Video Decoder (PDVD13) and Audio Decover LAV Audio Decoder. NextPVR is running on a very high end machine with a dedicated M2 SSD for DVR recording with a tuner source of a Silicon Dust HD HomeRun with Amazon FireTV's as my clients. Everything is connected to an enterprise grade gigabit switched backbone of dell switches. Here is the problem. When watching live TV or TV Recordings via Kodi on the FireTV's I am getting equally spaced horizontal distortion lines in the video, especially during movement in scenes. Once a scene is no longer moving it goes away, but as soon as people/objects start moving again they come back, with the more movement the more distortion. If I pull up the recordings on the media server itself and watch them in NextPVR there isn't any distortion. So it doesn't seem to be an issue with the tuner/server/PVR recordings/codecs. It seems to be an issue with the NextPVR client on Kodi on a FireTV. Has anyone else experienced this?
