Hi all
I utilise Kodi with the NextPVR backend on a Windows 10 Pro machine. It is connected directly to the TV via HDMI using a RTX3050
I am having some strange issues which I've been able to re-create on multiple machines in my house.
When playing an IPTV stream, if the content of the stream changes (for instance a commercial or another episode of a show starts to play) this causes a couple of different results:
* Screen goes completely black (No indication of what is happening). To resolve I have to stop watching the channel then go back into the same channel and it will start working again however you can see that it has either gone onto a different show playing or It'll be on some screen saying "We will be back soon" or something like that.
* Stream successfully transitions to the next video however no audio is playing. Stopping the channel then starting again fixes this.
At the end of a video I've also observed it popping up with "Timeshift" up the top and then it suddenly starts to play back the last video that was playing. It is as if it rewound itself to when I first started watching the channel and started playing the same stuff again.. talk about groundhog day huh!
The IPTV streams I've noticed this occuring on is PlutoTV, SamsungLiveIPTV streams. Also I utilised VLC to create my own stream where it loops through different animation shows just for my internal use. This also has the same problems as Pluto, SamsungLive streams.
I have noticed in some testing using my own stream from VLC playing videos of the same format (as in running my own IPTV stream where it goes through multiple .mp4 videos in a row) it appears to work fine... chuck another format like mkv or avi into the mix and it starts displaying similar outcomes as the two points above.
So far I have tried:
I have used some people suggest different decoders like LAVFilters? However I couldn't find any way to change the decoders in Kodi (albeit I am new to the software still).
Any suggestions would be super helpful! Happy to provide logs and all just might need guidance where to grab them from please.

So far I have tried:
- Reinstall of the whole computer (Tried windows 11 initially but found it was incompatible with other software I needed)
- Fiddling with NextPVR backend settings like padding, livetv buffer etc.
- Turning "Use direct stream" on/off but no change
