I'm a long time user of NPVR but haave been having so many problems since the Win 10 Au I'm beginning to look for alternatives. The client especially has become problematical, especially with recorded playbacks. They stutter for awhile and then freeze the playback, requiring a restart. Downloaded files occasionally freeze also, requiring a restart. And, of course, there's the problem of recordings just failing to start after a couple of days and requiring a reboot to function again.
I notice others are having the same problems but few if any solutions have been provided. If anyone has come up with any solutions for these problems I'd sure like to hear about it. I am going to try the different video renderer I read about but that's about all I've found.
I am starting to play with Kodi for use instead of the client. I have a working version that has most of what I want with the exception of the recording and program guide. The Kodi wiki info is woefully short of info on this subject so if any of you who I know are using Kodi can direct me to a good explanation of attaching NPVR to Kodi I'd appreciate it. I already have NPVR linked and showing on the menu as TV but I don't see the epg or any way to record.
I'm attaching logs of both the client and server which hopefully will shed some light on the problems. The 1503 is the server.
And now, after installing 3.8.3. tonight (server and client), none of my add ons work: Movies, Weather, Radio. It just never ends!
Just hoping for some tips & tricks to determine codecs. If I run a recording and it's a black screen, can view it using VLC, can I mess with the codec settings and not restart NPVR? I'm hoping this will work so it'll make it easier to figure out what codecs I need. I've done a lot of uninstalling and installing and trying saf codecs, which doesn't seem to have done much. I'm thinking I did something wrong on install.
NextPVR was working fine. And then I upgraded.
I tried to watch a show and I received a warning "unable to find available capture device."
When I go into settings and try to scan for channels on the device, it says
"Unable to start device:"
Unable to locate tuner filter (ASUS EHC3150 BDA ATSC Tuner).
I've attached my logs.
I stopped the NextPVR service and reinstalled and I still got the error.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
I downloaded/installed 3.8.3 and it seems that the TV Guide no longer works. I am using Schedules Direct. I know for sure it was working earlier, I don't know if maybe me merging the same name channels caused this or the new update. When I click continue I just keep getting different errors.
I attached the error I get and my log files in case you need them.
Please post any support issues in the support forum.
Thanks as always to those guys that have helped out with the testing and with the development of the web app!

I posted this problem on the Kodi forums but didn't get any help so I was hoping somebody on here might have a solution. For some reason my EPG in Kodi is showing the current time line as roughly 10 minutes behind actual time. What's crazy is that the time in Windows, Kodi, and NextPVR all show the correct time and even the current time line in the NextPVR EPG is correct but for some reason in Kodi's EPG it shows as ~10 minutes behind. I've scoured through all the settings in Kodi and can't for the life of me figure out what could be causing it. Any suggestions?
