If your having playback issues after the 5.0.8.200823

My situation might not be the same as some having an issue..
  My issue was.. Previous stable iptv sources would not play/start then stop/transcoder exits and the Live TV from the antenna was 'off' ..on a Windows 8-10 machine.. I've had the iptv sources before I started using npvr and it would still play on vlc..[while I still use it to check sources, I have since added a testing setup on my pc to check out any new sources ability to play well with npvr]

I had checked the logs/settings and everything had appeared to be ok as far as npvr was concerned, reviewed the log and there was a reference to "madVR" not being available.. hadn't seen anything in the forums beyond the LAV/AC# filters, and it appeared to be a dev side include..

hit the site up and saw that it is included in some kodi addons and then a reference to Nextpvr..
I downloaded and installed the package from the link, restarted the setup and everything was right again..

The link to some file is in the kodi wiki
kodi DSPlayer/NEXTPVR page
There are some lnks to files there,

but I downloaded the madVR zip from their home site at
madVR Labs, LLC

I am not sure what you are saying but I am confident in saying that madvr and dsplayer will not impact the web player transcoding stability.
