NPVR for Android box

[sub]

Sub is there a way I can buy the apk file from you so I can sideload it and see if it will work better than the appstore version?

No, I'd rather not go down that path.

Ultimately anything I make will be added to the version published to the play store, and you get updates etc, so it's probably best just to be patient.

I understand your position completely. But, just remember I'm closing in on 80 years old so I can't afford to be as patient as some!

First tried it on my QBOX Android TV box.
Navigation with remote is very limited. However, it may be due to some other changes I made to that box.
I'll put that issue aside for now.

Then loaded it onto an old RCA tablet I have laying around.

On either system the channels are all listed in a single column, not 3 columns as in the demo.

The "channels and guide" info is only shown for the "all channels" settings. If I switch to my "Comcast" channels group I don't see anything listed for channels or guide.

Didn't see any way to delete recorings; pending, previously recorded or recurring.

Yes, that is the primary reason it's still not published on the Play store as an Android TV app. It's difficult adding remote control support to an Android app, and I'm still working through it. Lots of complications causing headaches.

Yep, that's intentional. Phones and tablets are currently showing channels as a single column.

Hmm, not seeing that here. I'm able to successfully change channel groups. If you want to supply your npvr.db3, I'll try your channel lineup here.

Correct - still lots of work to do on Android TV support.

I can delete recordings on my T95Z+ by sliding the recording I want to delete with my air mouse. I haven't been able to install a copy of the NPVR android app on my Nvidia Shield. Google apps will not let it be installed. Funny, they didn't have any problem with my T95Z+.

You'll need to put a big attachment like that on dropbox or onedrive, or similar, and let me know the download link.

OK, but that's gonna take a little longer.
