Plex DVR with nextPVR? Possible and what is required!

[Pbathuk]

Hi,
So, I love nextPVR and use it for my main TV from a Windows server, we currently utilise Kodi with the PVR add-on to connect to nextpvr to allow TV guide and live TV.
I see that Plex now supports DVR as well and was wondering what would need to be done to allow Plex to see nextpvr as a DVR server? Is it even possible?
Cheers
Phil

Plex DVR is a standalone PVR/DVR application that supports just a few tuners and not other PVR backends like Kodi.

I will have a look at this and try to figure out how to "install" it on Plex. Might give me something useful to use on some of the clients.

As a Plex lifetime subscriber, what I would really like to see is a means of scraping the PlexDVR guide data and exporting in XMLTV format to use with NextPVR.

The PlexDVR functionality has gotten very unreliable for me since summer despite full OS reinstall. NextPVR is working great.

Being able to leverage the included Plex EPG data would at least give me some value out of that lifetime subscription.

You don't own anything and reading the Plex TOS I doubt this is legal https://www.plex.tv/media-server-downloa...odal-terms For a cup of coffee a month Schedules Direct is a no brainer/
