I was surprised just how well the Amazon Fire Stick plays NextPVR recording via Kodi given the usual recommendation to use a wired network connection for best results. I use X-NEWA and HD recordings play faultlessly and "Skip" although not perfect works acceptably well! The biggest weakness I found is the simple remote with no ability to page up/down or sideways the menu or EPG. There is the ability to simulate ordinary remote control keys but it takes four key presses to to do a "page down"! As I have 159 entries in my "Ready Recordings" menu its not practical to navigate to the end of the menu so I use it to watch Recent Recordings!

When doing the initial setup I could find no way to edit either of the xml I needed to change. Both installed text editors loaded the files but neither had an on screen keyboard to allow you to edit the text. In the end I used Kodi file manger to copy the files to a network share, edit them then copy them back.

The x-newa context menu really isn't designed for paging, using percentage key jumping should work better ie 9 will move you 90% of the way in 3 key presses (context, up, select). The fewer screens web client sends the better.

I tried the Percentage jump keys for the first time yesterday and it works well with "9" getting me to the recordings starting with "Y" in just one jump!

Thanks for the suggestion Martin.
