Ready for xubuntu 20.04

[bluesight]

Sorry I left out what now appears to be a critical point...it is actually playback in Kodi that is having the difficulties, especially compared to WMC. NextPVR in the browser window shows the errors. Kodi just is slow or fails (and locks up) for some streams, both live and recorded. If Kodi isn't transcoding, then it looks like there is just not enough performance in this old notebook. Time to put it into the web-only pasture (or maybe glue factory)...

I was hoping I was testing a 20.04 implementation before rolling out to other systems...but it's mainly been distractions with other issues...

Want to be done for now!...

Tnx

Quick PS...VAAPI didn't work on this system...fails to start stream...

I am sure there is enough CPU power for direct streaming, even a Raspberry PI can serve data when transcoding isn't involved.

Restart NextPVR (to reset logs) and Kodi, then reproduce the issue and post the NextPVR and kodi logs, and a description of what happened, and we'll take a look

I appreciate the advice and help. I've been using lots of my "at-home" time to try to do Kodi/PVR and learn some about Linux. And I've been starting to use a bit too much of other folks' time. So, for now, I'm back to my old Win7/WMC world. I still have NextPVR/Kodi on my fallback Win10 system, and that seems pretty good, at least for as much as I've used it up to now.
Tnx...(again)

Couldn't stop myself...and I now have a working NextPVR/Kodi install on my 20.04 Xubuntu laptop. I've also had some success in installing the latest lirc/ir-keytable services that have been an issue until just the last few days. If you gave up on lirc, it may be worth checking back since the latest available install fixes a known installation glitch (verify that you get lirc 0.10.1-6.1ubuntu1.1).

A glutton for punishment...I now have a portable Win7 WMC laptop with EPG123 and Schedules Direct (dangerously obsolete, but functional), a "home" Ubuntu 18.04 desktop box with NextPVR/Kodi/lirc and Schedules Direct, and now a portable Xubutnu 20.04 laptop with NextPVR/Kodi/ir-keytable/lirc and Schedules Direct. 

Interestingly, the Xubuntu laptop is an i-5 1.8Ghz, 7G memory based system has plenty of capability to run NextPVR, including transcoding to the web interface (just as sub recommended) compared to my AMD Athlon II P340  1.8Ghz, 7G memory laptop (now relegated to web browsing and media center experiments). Glad I had one to swap in...

PS...forgot to mention...I like the new interface...adds some clarity for Schedules Direct EPG settings...

I put up a "how-to" install for 20.04 with NextPVR/Kodi/lirc and MCE remote over on the Kodi Linux forum. It might be of interest here...

Seems like you are only wrtiting to sub, but this is the same issue I justed posted about in Windows https://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.ph...#pid541527 You need to had a delay in PostStarup.sh to wait until services you required are available. I suggest looking at dmesg for the time that network and USB are available and putting a wait in. I have posted a sample script that will add the required delay.

Ok edit my post
I show that post but I have WinTV dual-HD not a HDHomerun and I have Linux not Windows and PoP!-OS 19.04 didn't have this problem,  That would be most grateful Martin if could post the a sample script and install info.
