NLite - Won't run at all

[joshskey]

Hi There,

I'm trying to run NLite to connect to my V5 install on a seperate PC (on the same network), but when I click nlite.exe it just does nothing at all.

I've seen some similar talk of this in the initial NLite build discussion from martin123, but I cannot find any resolution.

I have tried running it through command prompt with the nlite.exe -server path, but that has not worked. And I've tried an old nlite.exe file that was suggested but just get 'Checking configuration, About to connect to server'.

On a separate, but related point, I just want to use NLite in efforts to use the manual recording feature. Something that I can't find at all from any of the frontends I've tried.


Cheers,
Josh.

Did you make sure you have all three values in the server option https://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.ph...post508242

You should so be able to set this up via Kodi. The pvr addon has some manual options and the knewc addon has the UI client which is the Nlite interface.

Thanks Martin but yes that is what I was saying that I had tried, but no luck.

I couldn't use normal Kodi as it couldn't handle my many many channels, but although the knewc addon is great (thanks btw), I can't use it for manual recording, which is my main mission really.

If Nlite doesn't support manual recording then I might aswell not bothering trying to fix problem, but keen to find a way to get manual recording working with v5 on seperate pc however possible.

Out of curiosity why can't knewc UI client create a manual recording? It uses the same interface as nlite.

What output do you get when you try to run nlite?

Yes, it supports manual recording. It's gives you the normal nextpvr.exe type user interface.

Absolutely no output at all, just tries to run the process then closes immediately.

On an old thread I saw you suggest a special nlite.exe which is supposed to give you more info, and on that it just says “'Checking configuration, About to connect to server'”.

I don't see the option for it, I saw elsewhere on your site where it would be but I can't see it anywhere

Update - Although I haven't found a fix for NLite.. I have found how to Manually Record from the Kodi Version.

Took me ages to realise I need to press I to bring up the Man-Rec feature! Many thanks

In UI client it should be the same as NextPVR (without a mouse). Up arrow to activate the hidden menu, Home key on keyboard or the Info key on a remote. I

Is there a solution about that yet? I just wanted to try out nlite, but as OT said, no reaction at all. So no errors or whatever, it just doesn't start. This is Windows 10 with 20H2 update.

Best regards
