v5 missing featuresr request

[eastavin]

#1  Client no longer has the "Now playing feature".  It used to work in v4 where you hit the up arrow or the down arrow on your keyboard and a tv guide pops up showing all the tv shows now playing on all the channels.. you could then up or down arrow your way to the desired channel and hit enter to change the channel.  Pls bring back this top notch couch potatoe feature.

#2  Start or stop back end shortcuts that existed in the start menu on v4.  today for whatever reason the usb tuner would not be recognized by next pvr... no amount of taking it out and reinserting it or starting and stopping the npvr client would get it to work.  the webapp also failed to start the tuner.  Logging out of my account had no effect.  the only thing that worked was rebooting.  such problems in v4 were solved by issueing a stop back end and then restarting it.

1. The now playling list works for me. Perhaps you aren't using the EVR renderer

2. It's not the client or web app, but you can restart the v5 service too just like v4. there are no shortcuts creates though so it is from services.msc

#1 odd... it was on evr.. . but when I reselected and saved it again... now it works. head scratcher for sure.
#2 I tried the services.msc and i found it there. thanks... is there not a way to make a link to that on the start menu? I can handle the services thing but my wife wont

For #2 create an admin shortcut with a batch file

net stop "NextPVR Service"
net start "NextPVR Service"

or you can use powershell to restart if you want.
