Please post any support issues in the support forum. Support questions posted in this thread will be deleted.

This is a fairly small incremental release over 4.0.4, but there is a few changes I'd like to get out there soon rather than later.

Changes:

- add support for .ts playback with cinema style resolutions such 1.85:1 and 2.39:1

- fixed issue where there could be a disruption or repeating of content where overlapping recordings were happening on a tuner.
- IPTV ondemand streams now shown in a new OnDemand screen, rather than in the TV Guide 'All Channels' list.
- fixed issue where NextPVR could freeze during playback and crash
- fixed issue that could cause nrecord.exe to crash while stopping a recording.
- fixed issue where bottom of H.264 video frames couple be corrupt
- fixed issue where video could suddenly start playing back in fastforward style
- fixed issue with client/server mode that could cause corruption during playback of recordings.
- added support for importing IPTV channels from providers that use a .gz file for their xmltv url
- added support for chunked encoding, used for http tranfers by some IPTV providers
- fixed issue where ampersand character in provider name would cause digital channels to not show during scan of that frequency
- fixed issue that could cause some channels to have no icon in web and kodi
- fixed issue where radio wouldn't play from web app or iOS app.

I've just run the installation and though it appeared to run correctly (no error messages) the version on (right click) | Settings | About and (right click) | About is still reported as V4.0.4 171121.

I've tried the process twice - the first time I hadn't stopped the NPVR Recording Service so I did that before the second attempt.

I notice that C:\Program Files (x86)\NPVR\NextPVR.exe and other EXE files have a modified date of 7 Dec 2017, which ties in with your version number 171208, so I wonder whether you might have forgotten to update the version that is displayed in Settings | About...

config-master-dont-edit.xml didn't get updated so the version info didn't get updated.

Hi, I just wanted to clarify - does this refer to HLS?

It can be used for either HLS or .ts streams.
