When going to the web apphttp://localhost:8866/index.html I get this message. Also in the deskstop app there are no listings on the TV guide. I use schedules direct, windows 10 and tried disabling AVG security, I also updated the NextPVR app. It is still recording my programs I have scheduled but cannot get any TV Guide listings.

These are messages from the old NextPVR v4 app, which hasn't been updated for over 6 years.

You should really update to a current version of NextPVR

[gsurman]

I just did, downloaded it and ran it but still says Im using version 4.2.5 (191014). Should uninstall NextPVR then re-install?

[sub]

NextPVR v5 was a rewrite, and an entirely different application from earlier versions. There was no in-place upgrade from earlier versions, so you've probably ended up with both applications installed. A lot of advice was provided around this at the time, but it was years ago now, so those threads are probably long buried by newer information.

Uninstall NextPVR v4, then reboot and hopefully then the current NextPVR will be able to start.

Thanks, just noticed when I start the desktop app from the windows app list everything runs is fine. I'll do what you suggest.

Thanks everything is working fine now, shows I'm updated to the newest version, web and desktop apps are all OK. TV guide is back.
