Configure for multiple clients?

[dshorrosh]

Maybe my search skill are fail, but are there special instructions for setting up NextPVR for multiple clients?

I have NextPVR installed on a Win10 box running Kodi (with Hauppauge 4-tuner card and HD antenna for OTA channels), and on 2x Raspberry Pi boxes running OSMC / Kodi.  All work fine until somebody tries to watch a different TV channel on one of the other devices while a TV channel is already playing on one of the other devices.

To say another way, I can be watching a TV channel on the Win10 Kodi box but my wife can't watch a different channel at the same time on one of the Raspberry Pi boxes.  The remote box can tune the same channel though.

Thanks for any guidance.

If you are using pvr.nextpvr that shouldn't be a problem unless you actually don't have enough tuners configured properly.

Sending the zipped logs would help us explain the actual problem.

Thanks for your quick response, zipped log files attached - I had the same channel playing on the Win10 box and an RP, then tried to tune a different channel on the Win10 box (fail) and switched back to the same channel (played), then tried to change channels on the RP (fail) and switched back to the same channel (played).

The problem is your tuners are not locking on signals, check your cables and antenna.

How do I fix that? Is it a signal strength thing or a Hauppagge card setting?

[mvallevand]

If a reboot doesn't fix it, it probably is outside the card. You might be able to use this https://www.hauppauge.com/pages/support/...nitor.html with NextPVR or WinTV as the source to fix the antenna

Reboot did the trick, thanks for helping.
