NPVR v5.2.7.220410 Installation Problem

[Chris4877]

I've just downloaded and installed the latest version of NPVR, (see Thread Subject for details), and I've found that the former NPVR Desktop Client opens in the browser, and the NPVR menu icon no longer appears in the System Tray.

Is anybody else experiencing this?

Also, I have all the LAV filters installed, but neither the NPVR Browser Application nor the "Desktop Client" will play Live TV.

Previous NPVR versions would recognise the LAV filters, but this version doesn't seem to.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

Try watching live tv then post the logs zip file and I’ll take a look.

Inside the browser there is a UI Client but that is not the desktop client. The desktop client is "C:\Program Files\NextPVR\clientNextPVR.exe" and the
tray app is "C:\Program Files\NextPVR\NPVRTray.exe"

I don't remember if the installer creates shortcuts or auto starts the tray app but from the tray app you can definitely launch the Desktop app.

NextPVR.exe and the remote app for Windows nlite.exe both support 32 bit LAV

Here are the logs.
I have also added into the zip file the complete file listings for the NextPVR program folder and all its subfolders.

I don't see you even starting NextPVR.exe

I didn't try the "Desktop Client," I just opened the NextPVR browser page went to the TV Guide, clicked on a show in progress and chose "Watch."

I understand and it is there

but you didn't run it, so I assume you didn't create the shortcuts I mentioned.

The browser doesn't load NextPVR.exe that is a different client called a UI client that looks like NextPVR.exe

OK, I'll try creating the shortcuts.

[Chris4877]

OK, I created the shortcuts, and the desktop client works OK with Live TV.
Also, the tray application starts up as normal.
I don't understand why the installer didn't create the shortcuts.
