The NextPVR Web App is not really intended to be used as a ten foot app (i.e. from the sofa). NextPVR.exe can only be used on the same machine as NextPVR Server (and only under Windows).
Currently, Kodi is the got-to solution for a ten-foot app for V5 (if NextPVR.exe can't be used) ... The "built-in" NextPVR add-on for Kodi is simple and elegant ... The knewc add-on, which you will need to install into Kodi, gives an interface that looks like NextPVR.exe ... https://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?tid=50833

Thanks for the input Graham .. But I have problems here with the web version and getting it working correctly. To keep things simple for me I'd prefer at this point to just concentrate on getting the NPVR version 5 web app to run okay. I don't see what advantage installing a new and completely unknown (to me) 3rd party application like KODI is going to help, when I can't get the original Nextnpr vs 5 app to work. I think the correct thing to do here is start at the beginning and get the basic stuff working before going crazy with other additional options or mods etc. Hope you get where I'm coming from ?? I've just shut down the old PC running NextPVR 4 and disconnected it from it's power source and LAN. So today .. I"m starting over with the new vs 5 install.
