Kodi can't playback LIVE

I've had a love/hate relationship with Kodi and NPVR. It was so hard to get set up, but once it finally was working, I left well enough alone. Last time I checked (about 2-3 weeks ago), it was working fine. I've not actually had any reason to watch LIVE TV for a while. There was a string of bad storms that just came through here, along with a Tornado Warning. The weather apps/etc for Kodi suck for LIVE information, so I went to watch our local news channel. It just sits there, saying it's loading, eventually timing out with an error about "Tuner no longer available". I've got my guide set up with multiple choices, DT (for digital tuner via cable ready from our provider), OTA (for over the air with antenna), SD and HD options (different tuners to provide different sources). I tested all possible scenarios, DT, OTA, HD, SD, different channels, etc. They all have the same result. I thought my settings might have changed, but they're all still correct. I'm using version 2.4.13.1 of the Kodi addon. I'm not sure if that's the latest version or not, but it's the only one my repository has access to. So I then checked on my server to see if the settings got changed there. Nope, everything still looks good. I was even able to test watching a channel on the server (although I don't know if it TRULY worked, I was going through Remote Desktop and all I saw was a black screen). I do know, that the icon turned RED in the task bar to indicate a tuner was recording and the status window did show a tuner was in use. The next thing I did, before starting this thread, was check to make sure I'm using the latest version of NextPVR on the server. Turns out I wasn't. So I thought maybe the Kodi addon was trying to communicate with NPVR but couldn't because of a version conflict. I updated the software, and now confirm I am using 4.1.1 (180410). I know the client and server are communicating with each other, because it downloads the guide data when I reboot my Kodi box. When I try to start watching something from Kodi, my NPVR server status blinks active for a second, then stops. It's like it drops communication right when it should start sending the stream across the network.

I'm not sure what else to try. I've even gone as far as to create a new Port Forwarding rule in my router for "8866" and still nothing. I guess I just need to throw in the towel and ask for help.

Thanks in advance!

PS - I just did a quick check. I've got recordings for some shows, and none of them will play beyond April 22'nd. Was this when all the updating happened that's caused my issue? Or is there something significant that happened that week that broke it for the following weeks' recordings?

PPS - I forgot to mention, the logs here are from when I tried to watch a live stream. I can get logs of a recording playback that works, and one that doesn't, if it will help..
