I have NextPVR setup on my HPmicroserver as a backend and Kodi on my HTPC with the NextPVR plugin and that is working.
I would like to try the NextPVR client on my HTPC but I cant get it to connect to the backend,
Under NEXTPVR/DEVICES on my HTPC I have Act as a Client ticked and my Server name "PROLIANT" entered in the server name text box, the database share is "\\PROLIANT\npvr", the Send WOL is also ticked.
I can ping "PROLIANT" from a dos prompt on the HTPC.
If I then choose LIVE TV on my client I get a msg, "No Channels have been setup, These can be setup on the settings>devices screen"
On that screen, it just says "initialising device scan", all the other buttons on this screen and grey except for OK/CANCEL
I am sure I am just missing something obvious!
Please help.

I should add, I am only wanting to try the NextPVR client as although Kodi with the NextPVR client is working, It sometimes freezes when watching live TV and I am trying to see if the issue is Next PVR or Kodi.
