I have fought a NPVR install (3.5.7) on a W10 laptop for couple of days now. I finally gave up trying to use xmltv and went with the paid epg, and so my epg now actually works (at least, it does today). I now have a couple of vexing issues:
1. If I make the display full-screen, I cannot find any way to return to "small screen". ESC doesn't work, there does not seem to be anything in the menu that does this, all I can do is exit and re-start, which is a drag.
2. I cannot find any way to skip/ff/rewind when viewing a recording. CTRL-Q works to pause/resume, but that is about it. If I move my mouse over the playback screen so that the playback timeline shows up, and then click a bit further down the timeline to force playback to skip forward, the playback pauses briefly, then I get a message that says, "This recording was watched to completion (which is totally untrue!) Would you like to delete this recording?" CTRL-right arrow gives the same result. It is almost as if trying to skip forward pushes the time marker to the end of the recording, or something like that.
I have seen some posts that indicate that the video renderer may impact this. If so, in which way? Is there a preferred video renderer? I'm was using EVR, then I tried MadVR, and that allowed the CTRL-F key combination to work, but I lost the timeline strip at the bottom. Also, CTRL-R doesn't work, nor do the CTRL-arrow keys.
I am almost there, after losing WMC, and finding that Kodi won't work with my older Silicondust network tuner. NextPVR seems to be the one that should work, but holy cow! I'm a fairly competent geek, but this is kicking my butt!
