Fresh Install - no playback OSD in Kodi/knewc

[baj1]

The OSD in Kodi/knewc didn't work in Ubuntu from the get-go, before I tried sub's new DLLs.

Does that mean with the new dll's it works?

No, the new DLLs did not help with the OSD issue under Ubuntu nor the crashing or video playback stopping. Ubuntu seemed better at first, but I think we were using it less because we were busy. After a few days we started seeing the same issues we had running Mint on the server, and since the OSD worked with Mint I switched it back.

In Mint I did change the priority of the tuners so it uses my HDHR tuners first, then the PVR 2250 and my wife hasn't mentioned any recording failures. I forgot to look for recording failures last night, but will do so when I get home this evening.

I know I have posted this before but the crashing has never been fixed your recent logs might help sub.

I can't explain the OSD issue sub would probably need to log more info to find out where there could be an issue.

My $0.02, I would suggest the Ubuntu-OSD issue be given low priority, I think there are bigger fish to fry. The OSD works fine in Mint, and I'm wondering if it was caused by something I did during setup on Ubuntu anyway.

I just scanned through my server setup/installation notes over lunch to see how much time I thought it would take to try Ubuntu again from scratch and noticed a note I made. I had an issue getting the static IP address to "stick" with Ubuntu, definitely a PEBKAC issue. Looking at my sequence, the IP address of the server most likely changed after I installed NextPVR, I think it was set to DHCP @ NextPVR install. Do you think that could have anything to do with the OSD not working in Ubuntu? I don't know why that didn't click for me until now, perhaps because everything else seemed to function. From my notes I used Network Manager to setup a static IP address, but didn't delete the Auto Ethernet profile and Ubuntu picked Auto Ethernet on the next boot-up, after which I installed NextPVR (if my notes are correct). It wasn't until I tried to test a remote client that I realized the IP was set to DHCP. My note was a big reminder to delete the Auto Ethernet profile.
