Is remote/internet streaming supported?

[TDown]

I currently have Kodi working with NextPVR on a LAN of 3 separate devices. I can connected remotely on 8866 to the web interface and successfully stream channels.

Connected from a remote location through Kodi's NextPVR addon, I can pull a channel list (I have not paid for guide data yet), but I cannot stream. I get a Tuner not available error message after a while of waiting.

I've set the below XML variables and have located the below log entry indicating that NextPVR is receiving the request and simply denying it. Is it safe to assume that remote streaming has been disabled internal to NextPVR?

Log Error:

[DEBUG][24] Not allowing internet based streaming request

config.xml:

<AllowRemoteAPI>true</AllowRemoteAPI>
<AllowRemoteTranscode>True</AllowRemoteTranscode>
<AllowRemoteStreaming>True</AllowRemoteStreaming>

Config-master-dont-edit.xml

<AllowRemoteAPI>true</AllowRemoteAPI>
<AllowRemoteTranscode>true</AllowRemoteTranscode>
<AllowRemoteStreaming>true</AllowRemoteStreaming>

I have tried using Kodi remotely (outside my LAN) with the same results as you. I don't think it's possible with Kodi. My guess is that it is a Kodi limitation and not NPVR.

Streaming is possible with with a browser connecting to the NPVR web interface though which I have done successfully.

Thank you for the input.

It just seems odd with NPVR specifically stating that it was "Not allowing internet based streaming request[s]".

It's almost as if there's an internal list of allowable clients that needs to be updated.

You can stream remotely. You'd type "True" in config.xml. It has to be lowercase "true".

That said, NextPVR only ever sends the full bitrate stream to Kodi, and in the US that can be up to 19.2Mbps, which your internet connection will almost certainly not be able to keep up at a sustained rate...so I'm guessing it's not going to work as well as you might have hoped.

It is absolutely possible but you need really good upload bandwidth, although I am not sure if timeshifting is supported. You also need true not True in config.xml and the PIN probably needs to be changed.

Thank you both so much! I always mess up some mundane detail

Both my home and office have 50Mbps/50Mbps connections so bandwidth should generally not be an issue.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's still problematic. Being able to sustain those rates are difficult in all but the most idea situations.
