No record button on NextPVR client (Windows 11)

I also noticed that when Live TV is enabled the status bar on the bottom that's meant to count from the start of the show to the end, hovers near the end all the time and the time quickly switches between -00:00:00 to -00-00-01, and the green bar is juddering in the same spot. 

FYI, the right side of the time is the live point. That screenshot is saying you're -00:00:01 seconds from live. ie, if you pause it, you'll see it drift back. ie, pause for 30 seconds and you'll see it drift back to -00:00:30. This is much the same timeline model you see on live streams on youtube etc (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCNeDWCI0vo)

I know what the status bar is, but it doesn't work.  It just hovers between -00:00:00 and -00:00:01 and judders around, instead of progressing from left to right.

That is exactly what I tried to tell you above - for live tv it doesn't start at the left and move to the right.

For live tv it starts at the right, and tells you how close to live you are. Further towards the left represents further back in time, like when you skip back or pause, in which case you'd see it move further to the left.

I was able to hack SichboPVR by editing one of the .JSON files and was able to force OpenGL for the frontend. The frame rate is great and I can record, so I'll stick with that for now. Thanks to all for trying to assist.
