NextPVR Client for CoreELEC

[ChrisI]

Just installed CoreELEC on an AM6B+.  Searching the add-ins for the NextPVR Client.

I found one in the CoreELEC repository, but it won't install.  Based on the error messages, it looks like that particular client requires the NextPVR server to also be installed on the same machine.  (And installed before installing the client.)

I have my NextPVR server running on my QNAP server.  I'm looking for a NextPVR client that I can use to connect to that server.

Is there a "client only" for CoreELEC?

No need, pvr.nextpvr on CE can connect to external servers too but Docker servers won't use discovery unless you set up UDP so you need to enter the IP and port.

CoreELEC has a two-level options screen for the NextPVR client. I was expecting to have direct access to the options, but you need to create and name a configuration first.

I also got an "install failed" message, not a "you must configure" message. This added to the confusion.

Now that I know how to get into the configuration settings, things are working as expected.

Thanks.

If discovery is enabled the first settings are created for you. If not then I think 127.0.0.1 is created. If you plan on having other clients enable discovery.

Comments on add / edit configuration screen being a bit confusing to newcomers have been expressed before this is how all multi-instance addons work. PRs to Kodi would be welcome IMO.
