IPTV live stops translations on kodi

[jeffdonovan]

Hey guys, so I've installed nextpvr5 backend on windows-based HTPC, and I'm using kodi18 as a front-end

Translations recording works really great, but for some reason when I try to watch channels "live" it just stops working from time to time, like, exiting to kodi main screen. When I watch the same channel on simple IPTV add-on for kodi, it freezes from time to time, and continues after a small period of time, while with nextPVR it just completely exits. Some channels would work longer without exiting than the others.

Is this a kodi front-end issue, or maybe I need to change settings in client or back-end?

backend log is in attachment, you find timestamp where errors occured by searching for error, it is exactly when it happened.

NextPVR needs good quality streams ts files cannot simple be added together ad you will end up with poor quality recordings and complain that you can't skip in them.

I would definitely upgrade to the current version, it has improved m3u8 downloading and is less aggressive downloading the original segments. If that has problems upload the logs again.

No, what I mean is, recording is fine, it records translations without any problem at all

But while I'm watching the same channel "on-line" or "live" or whatever is proper term, it will stop showing from time to time and I have to start it again to keep watching. If I watch the same channel on my second device with simple IPTV, it stutters from time to time, having like a one second-long pause or stutter, so it seems that translation is some sort of short clips, and at the time of translation from one clip to another, simple-iptv freezes for a second and resumes after that, but nextPVR just stops playing so I have to restart it.

NextPVR is always recording live tv or not and it wants good quality providers. Like I posted, upgrade and zip post logs if your problems continue.

I have a very similar problem with the latest version of NextPVR installed on Windows Server 2016. I can be playing live TV from my DVB T2 tuner using the web inrerface on My Windows 10 laptop. It can be fine, then just stop. When I close and open the channel, it's fine again for a few minutes. It happens on Edge and Chrome. As Martin has said, recording is fine. 
I rolled back to V4, and it works flawlessly. I did try looking for the logs, and what I could see is that it starts streaming, then stops with no errors.

Do you have the same problem if you watch in nextpvr.exe?

Thanks for your reply Sub. I will check tomorrow. My laptop is in tablet mode then I watch TV and the client is difficult to navigate with the touch screen.

[mvallevand]

Which browser client are you using for V4 that is flawless in tablet mode?

Hi Martin,

I use the nextpvr.exe on my laptop.
So I install V4 on my server, and on the laptop, then configure the laptop as a client. Because there are the context menus and navigation buttons in the fill V4 client, I can use it when the laptop is in tablet mode. From what I have seen, the broadcast is also direct play instead of being transcoded at the server.
I re-installed V5 today, and tried nlite.exe ( I didn't think V5 came with the full Windows client). It was slower than the V4 client when trying to navigate, and when I found the channel I wanted to watch, the client crashed when I went full screen. I then tried the web client in Edge again, and it has been stable for most of today. The only time I have seen issues is when the server is busy (80%+ CPU usage)

The Windows client is available for V5 ... https://github.com/sub3/NextPVR/wiki/player-settings
