Okay, so after restarting Kodi about a dozen times, I finally managed to get the NextPVR PVR Client Addon to load all the way and display all of my Recordings from the TV tab. I thought my problems were solved at this point, and I would just have to restart Kodi many times now in order to get it to work. So, I decided to start watching the newest episode of 9-1-1. Unfortunately, the closed captioning parsing wasn't working, so I have to do my usual ritual of letting the recording run for about 5 minutes, then stopping it, then resuming it, which usually gets the closed captioning parsing working, and then rewinding it back to the beginning so that I can watch it all with closed captioning. However, after I did the first half of the ritual, stopped the recording, and waited for the little resume arrow to appear next to the recording, something weird happened. After I stopped it at about 1:17pm, the little arrow appeared like it should, and I'm just sitting there staring at the recordings listing while sipping my drink, getting ready to resume the recording, and then suddenly...
It vanishes! The recording listing completely disappears right before my very eyes, like the Kodi was doing a rather unpleasant magic trick for me. The view of my four recordings in the 9-1-1 folder is replaced with the view of all the Recordings folders, except none of the folders are there, save for Ask This Old House, which was currently recording at the time. This happened after 1:18pm, so I exited out of Kodi, backed up its log, and then went and backed up the log on the server. I've attached those logs here, in the hopes someone can tell me how Kodi did this disappearing act and how I can stop it from doing it in the future.
The interesting part should happen after this line in the Kodi log, which is about when I stopped the recording:
13:17:00.534 T:18446744072370213888 DEBUG: AddOnLog: NextPVR PVR Client: SetRecordingLastPlayedPosition
I'm thinking this weird occurrence is related to the problems I've been having trying to get the NextPVR PVR Client Addon to work at all after upgrading to Kodi 17.6. Like I said at the beginning, I had to restart Kodi at least a dozen times to even access my recordings. During those dozen other times, the Addon either didn't load at all, giving me the "Addon couldn't be loaded" error message, or it "partially" loaded, in which case I can see the Channels listing, but the Recordings listing is either blank or it just shows the recordings that are currently recording at the time.
Here is the log from the server, which is only 2.29 MB, but won't upload to the forum because it's just a few BYTES over the limit, I think:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=12cAPsj...doX2HuD3hS
Remember, my server's clock is about 3 seconds ahead of / faster than the clock on the Amazon Fire TV I was using to watch my recording of 9-1-1, give or take a second, so remember that when trying to correlate events between the Kodi client log and the NextPVR server log.
It would really help if the ZIP file size limit were increased ever so slightly to 2.5 MB.
