First, I want to thank you for the way v5 has turned out. Moving everything to the browser is a very welcome change, and the new UI is so well thought out and looks great.
My biggest thanks are for making it run on Linux. I began moving most of my PCs to Linux three years ago after I saw what a POC WinX was, and the main reason I delayed migrating my HTPC was because I couldn't bear to part with NextPVR, which I have been using for 15 years. I had started searching for a solution on Linux and tried Plex and MythTV. I hated Plex, and MythTV was such a complicated mess to install that I never got it working. But that same day I noticed in a search for Linux DVRs that one of the results mentioned NPVR. What???! I was beyond pleased to find there was a new beta version that would run on Linux. Downloaded, installed and running in about 30 minutes! Congrats on making the process so effortless. I couldn't be happier.
So, wishlist...
I really like the idea of the channel list that can pop up while in the player, but I'm finding that I activate by accident very often. I often have the browser windowed and move the mouse to other objects frequently, triggering the pop up, and it has become annoying to deal with. Could you put in a delay so one would have to hover over that area for a second or two before it activates? I think that would help.
