Hi am running NPVR as a Kodi backend. After a lot of automating bits and pieces and building a connection to an STB box, set up now works great...however, couple of issues:
1) Was working great last night. But when I got up this morning, first couple of streams I tried to play worked for a few seconds and then stopped. After that they would not play at all. To resolve I had to completely close down the NPVR server and web UI, reboot and then go back to Kodi. Works again after that. Are there some buffers or something that need flushing somewhere?
2) The EPG load in to Kodi as I have a lot of channels is extremely slow and during that initial period streams will not play properly. Is there anything that can be done to address this?
I should point out I am still on build Version: 5.0.1.200103, however will be upgrading soon. Aspiration for this set up is that it will be reliable enough that family members can also use it. Currently running on Windows 10, but have a Linux machine ready to roll, so will soon be migrating to that...
