Suddenly no Kodi/NPVR in the house

[Elmo Putney]

Scratching my head a little:

NPVR server in the lounge v4 NPVR, Kodi on pc's, tablets etc around the house. This evening the kitchen pc windows/kodi v16 gets stuck on updating NPVR channels/programs, it's been good as gold for 5+ years.

Re-boot both - same, each can see each other on the network.

Check previously working config on android tablet, kodi quits after 30sec of pvr update.

Install kodi on 2 day old laptop, all good until I add the NPVR addon and configure it, then Kodi quits after 30 seconds.

On the kitchen pc I uninstalled the nextpvr addon to kodi, now I can't even get it back to kodi configuration state, it wont install from a zip or repo.

Not sure whats going on and could do without more home IT issues, it's frustrating because I've changed nothing (to my knowledge ...

Any ideas what to look at?

Having contemplated for a moment .....perhaps I should try and install kodi on the the server and see if that works to localhost...back in a few.

Ok just tried it on the NPVR server - fresh install of kodi and as soon as I add NPVR addon it craps itself even before configuring. What gives?

[Elmo Putney]

perhaps this is the answer?

I was trying to hold out V5 until I could afford a new motherboard and processor to do the whole upgrade in one go.

Kodi v16 hasn't changed and v4 hasn't changed. If the reinstall didn't fix it I would start by seeing if you can connect to NextPVR via a browser to make sure the web server is running.

Thanks Martin, good suggestion.
So I can browse to the web server from another machine, but it seems a bit slow.

I tried on Android I cant even get to the NPVR addon configoration (fresh install of Kodi 18) without kodi crashing.

I have managed to get a windows laptop configured (kodi 18) but it's taking forever to improt the TV listings (~10 minutes), I am very puzzled.

When it finished importing the TV listings kodi bailed out.

Ok stand down...not exactley sure what happened but I know who! The kids were playing in the lounge Yesterday for about 2 hours pretending they were working in an office they probably used the server keyboard in their pretend game.
Half the desktop icons are missing, npvr running really slowly as I think they had managed to schedule to record the entire tv guide.

So I've put an old image on and everything is back up and running - so I can put off the future win10, NPVR v5 and new hardware for another few months.

Glad you got it sorted, I was just about to ask to see you database.
