Kodi Piers Not ready for NPVR yet?

[Lao Pan]

Hi Martin
I had to do some major repairs to the HTPC as it had recently started Crashing to a hard restart or complete lock up.

After a Repair via Windows update and reinstalling the graphics drivers, I thought I would see if Piers was any more stable.

All the plugins updated OK except the NPVR addon which was disabled.  After a bit of research I tried the latest artifact NPVR plugin which would not install due to an unavailable dependency (Direct-ffmpeg or something like) Then went back to Omega using my last Disk backup.

I'm sure you are on the case but will Piers be available for NPVR any time soon? 

It appears the problem with the HTPC may have been that some time previously the NPVR Plugin switched from Time shift to Live Stream and the latest AMD Drivers were crashing on any small glitch in the stream. (especially now the weather is warming up) Changed to 3 sec Time shift and reverted AMD drivers to 26.3.1 - so far so good

I have been using it for years, it could just be the nightly. The inputstream-ffmpegdirect addon might be failing right now but I don't even make it a mandatory requirement so the build system might be have. I will set up a test.

That being said pvr.nextpvr works better in Piers IMO.
