I'm trying to upgrade my V4 setup to V5, and I'm finding some things are different.
How do most people setup V5 for their living room TV and use a remote control?

If that machine is where your NextPVR server is installed, you can still just use nextpvr.exe like you have previously. It's pretty much the same as v4 was in the past.

If your server is on a different machine, you can run NLite.exe from https://nextpvr.com/client.zip.

If your TV doesn't have a PC connected, there are options for using Android or Apple TV or other clients.

Thanx; I'll look into Nlite.

Is there a way to use Nlite for my NAS server at the same time my V4 is running on the same network?

Even after shutting down my V4 server, Nlite doesn't see my NAS server.
Does this have anything to do with Docker?

I would guess that means that you don't have your Docker configured properly so that the network discovery part is working. I don't personally use Docker, so can't tell you right off what the fix. But I do know that network discovery uses a different port (separate from the 8866) and also that there are posts in here which tell how to get it to work properly.

Also, there is probably a way to manually enter a server address in Nlite for Windows. But again, I haven't personally used it, so can't tell you how to do that. I am sure that it can co-exist on your network with V4 running on another server.

Not sure about Docker being wrong; the others clients can attach to it and work OK.

If it cant discover the server automatically, you can run

nlite.exe -server:192.168.1.62:8866:0000

(docker can be a little painful to get autodetection working, because it's default networking is like a different subnet)

When I run Nlite it's looking at the address of my V4 server.

I was able to get NLite running using the command you gave, but the problem now is the subtitles aren't working; at least not very reliably.
I guess I'll have to give up on the NAS/docker installation and go back to the PC server arrangement using the native UI.
Thanx again for your help.

For what it's worth, subtitles via NLite aren't working on the PC server either.

In theory CCs should be pretty much the same in nextpvr.exe or nlite.exe. They both use the same components for playback.

If you want to zip and post the logs from C:\Users\Public\Nlite\logs, I'll check it's got everything it needs for CCs to be working.
