"Added logic to allow Schedules Direct users to have different art work for shows with the same name"

How do we change the artwork that is shown? 

Thanks

It'll do it automatically for new shows you start recording. For existing shows you've already got the artwork for, you can typically get it to update the artwork by deleting the files for show in C:\Users\Public\NPVR-data\media\shows, then viewing http://localhost:8866/recordings.html.

Any issues on this, post it in the support forum.

Running nextpvr (linux) server on a raspberry pi4 8gb w/ ssd and hdhomerun for my local channels with an iptv service. All clients in house running through kodi. This is a great program. Thanks Sub and all those involved (the people making it possible to run on different platforms linux,android,etc) for making this possible. Beers are on me! Donated $25 cheers!

This really improved using comskip and no more hanging up when trying to skip a commercial on Kodi during playback anymore.

Thanks

Glad to hear but that is possibly placebo effect since Kodi streaming didn't change and Kodi uses it's own comskip logic.

fyi - I'm in the process of migrating from NPVR V4 under Windows 7 to a new clean system with V5 on Windows 10 64 pro. After copying over the database and settings, etc, it appears to be working well.
One mistake I made so far was to put my scripts in C:\Program Files\NextPVR\data\scripts (I believe there was a placeholder.txt there). I've moved the scripts to C:\Users\Public\NPVR-Data\scripts after realizing they aren't being invoked.

My next step is to get NLite working on other Windows 7 machines and also test clients using Roku and Amazon devices.
