What is the recommended upgrade path from 4 to 5?  I would like to install v5, but keep my setting from v4.  Is this possible?

Probably the easiest approach is to backup your npvr.db3 and config.xml files. Uninstall v4. Install v5. After install, stop the 'NextPVR Service', then copy your npvr.db3 and config.xml into C:\Users\Public\NPVR-Data, and restart the Service.

Thank you.  Will my Kodi Addons update automatically?

The addon is v4 and v5 aware but I would clear data in the PVR settings.

My update worked flawlessly.  One more quick question. In the event that npvr requires a restart of service, how do I do it?  Version 4 had shortcuts to stop and start service.

Start Menu -> Services -> Open Then manage the NextPVR Service with a right click.
