Clean install - LibreElec, Need NextPVR Backend

[ElJefe]

Thank you. I will make those changes this evening when I get a chance and report back.

The reason I moved the Live TV Buffer and the recordings file location was that I have 2 disks in the system: a 32GB SSD for the OS and another 500GB hard drive (mounted by default by LibreELEC to /var/media/Local Disk) I want recordings on. I had no idea when I made that change in the web interface that it was read-only.

That makes more sense, if it is NTFS you probably need to mount it in Windows do a chkdsk to clear that error. Ideally reformat it with a fully supported Linux file system and access it from Windows via a share.

And now that you say that it seems so obvious.  *facepalm* Thank you for your patience with a plebe like me.

Here is the update that allows you to set the startup delay to make sure your tuners start before NextPVR.  Based on the kernel logs you want at least 18 seconds

Code:

Oct 11 22:53:25.770274 LibreELEC kernel: microcode: microcode updated early to revision 0x838, date = 2019-04-22
...
Oct 11 22:53:42.858665 KODI kernel: saa7164 0000:04:00.0: DVB: registering adapter 1 frontend 0 (Samsung S5H1411 QAM/8VSB Frontend)...

It will overwrite libdvbv5 though so be prepared.

Update:
Installed the nextpvr service from the post above.
Replaced the libdvbv5
Set 'Startup Uptime wait' to 20 seconds
Nixed OTA EPG on non schedules direct channels.
Nixed 'Scan Devices on Startup'
Changed my DVR drive to ext4, set permissions, and pointed the live tv buffer, and recording folder at it.
rescanned for devices.

Results:
Can stream locally and my other pvr clients.

Thank you.

Thanks for the update. Version 6.1.0 of NextPVR is going to be released soon and the addon will be on the LibreElec repo soon too, but your testing has helped clean some things and figure out some settings I needed making the official release much better. I appreciate that.

When 6.1.0 is announced by sub, you can just use the generic update in Settings and then when it is available just update the addon from the repo. I will announce the LibreElec package in another thread when it is available.

oh man. I feel so special to have had a hand in this.

I can't thank you for the support enough. I've submitted a monetary donation to the project as an appreciation for your time and efforts.
