New iOS/tvOS/macOS client

[drvolks]

Hello everyone,

I'm working on a NextPVR for the Apple platforms. I wanted something a bit easier to navigate than the existing client and also adding a topic section to highlight things you are interested in and probably want to record.

Please give it a try if this is something that can be of interest to you. The TestFlight build is available here for iOS and tvOS (still waiting on approval on the macOS version) : https://testflight.apple.com/join/xfkUWtGh

The source code is available here: https://github.com/Drvolks/NexusPVR

I would appreciate the feedback

Great ! Thanks.

I have installed this application on my Mac mini, Apple TV, and iPad. All features are working correctly except for live TV, which consistently fails with the error message “Playback error: loading failed.” However, scheduled and recordings play back without any issues.

Can you look in the Settings page event logs if you see any errors?

Yes, I’ve cleared the logs before retrying live TV. Here are the logs following another failed attempt:

Those are all recording list calls. In the latest build (139) I've added some video player logs as well hopefully it will help narrow down the issue!
Thanks for helping

Although you use &client you should still be adding the &sid unless the client and the sid are the same.

That's great information. Please try the latest build 142, hopefully it is fixed now!
I've also applied @mvallevand suggestion and made sure the Sid is provided with every url.
