Hi. 1) I tried to install v5 to a local user account much like I have done successfully with v4. However with v5 I am left with the impression there is some sort of issue with v5 and windows permissioning.
Most attempts to change basic things like the live tv buffer directory, the recording directory seem to fail. At first they look like they succeed but when you exit and reenter they are back to the prior default settings. I dont see any save button. Using a 1080p screen.
2) Another hint that perhaps something is not right is that no links to Nextpvr client appear in the start menu of the local user account after install.
3) I cant seem to find the field in the settings area where you set the port number. Even though I have deleted v4 it seems that v5 keeps trying to use the port number previously used by v4 rather than the default 8866. I have no idea where it is getting it from and it had me going in circles as I assumed the new install was going to use the default value of 8866 until I tried the old port number out of frustration.
4) I tried importing old .ts recordings made with v4 using the import button on the v5 settings menu but even though it goes through the steps I cant find any evidence that anything was imported. I did this sort of thing before in v4 with no issue.
Thoughts appreciated.
