Hi everyone,
I'm a newbie to this app so forgive me if I overlooked something but I can't seem to get the NextPVR Samsung app to start properly. Therefore I would appreciate some advice as this seems a very stupid start to kick in.
I've succesfully installed the app and have been able to run it properly by first time installation. At first time run I've got the startup screen with the buttons TV-Guide / Recordings / Settings on my ES8000.So far so good.
Then I went to settings and filled the IP server address with 10.0.0.200 and kept the standard web port to 8866 as this are my NextPVR settings on my HTPC.
Then I've hit the button to connect to the NextPVR HTPC and the app was trying to connect to the NextPVR server for many minutes.
As I didn't get any confirmation on a succesfully connection to the server I've canceled the app and restarted the Samsung TV (power OFF/ON).
The IP field 10.0.0.200 with port 8866 should be OK as this are the settings to access NextPVR with the NEWA app on a remote PC in my LAN network (I hope it's not http://10.0.0.200 I needed to fill in in the settings server field). I'm not sure whether in the TV Smarthub center I was still signed in as "develop" at first time run but I guess that's only important for installing the Samsung NextPVR app.
So after restarting the TV and starting the NextPVR Samsung app once again the app display a message "Waiting for loading plugin".
From then the app hangs for many minutes with only this message and nothing progress. The only way to quit the app then is hitting the TV SmartApp button (TV return and exit buttons do nothing).
I guess something is wrong with the Samsung app NextPVR server settings or I need to do something extra on the NextPVR HTPC to let the Samsung app connect properly to the NextPVR server (Firewall is disabled).
I removed the app and reinstalled it hoping afterwards I could get back in the Samsung app main menu to change settings, did a TV reboot, and tried a couple more times.
Same message appears on the screen so the app hangs there waiting to load the plugin.
I don't know what is the average time to start up the app but if everything works fine I suppose it shouldn't be more than a couple of seconds?
I've installed the app today so I guess I have the latest version running for which I saw on the version log there has been a display message enhancement when not finding the NextPVR server.
Maybe it's this message I see now on the screen but I don't know for sure. Can't check the version in the app as it hangs in "Waiting for loading plugin" modus.
There is nothing wrong on the LAN network as from the Samsung TV I can access my Twonky media server app on the NextPVR HTPC and I can also access the NextPVR NEWA app with the Samsung TV Internet browser using http://10.0.0.200:8866/Guide2.aspx
Can someone shine some light on what is going wrong and how to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance for the advice (I must be overlooking something stupid during initial setup).
Brgds.
