Config File

[kevin-pvr]

Where is the config file for the WEB app in linux?

I am playing back video from the WEB interface localhost:8866/player.html not the uiclient localhost:8866/uiclient.html

I want to change the skip ahead and skip back times.  The WEB interface appears to have a skip forward of about 2 minutes and no skip back.  This is by clicking on the FF icon.  Right arrow keys don't work for me in that interface.

Is there a config file to change these?

I found a config file in /opt/nextpvr/system/data called Config-master-don't-edit.xml.  I assume this is for the uiclient.

Edit, okay I found this directory with the config.xml file /var/opt/nextpvr. I still assume this is for the uiclient and not the WEB interface.

I am trying to use the WEB interface as I get choppy video when using the uiclient (but I will start another thread for that later).

Thanks,
Kevin

These web app skip times are not from a config file. You'd have to change player.html. Specifically, the skipForward() and skipBack() functions.

Great, thanks so much.

When I look at the player.html file is the following...

function skipForward() {
console.log("skipForward");

if (liveMode == false) {
pause();
var player = document.getElementById('video_1');
var time = ((player.currentTime + startSeconds) + 60);
if (time > durationSeconds)
time = durationSeconds - 5;
startSeconds = time;
start();
I would think that would mean skip ahead 60 s. In practice it skips ahead a little over 120 s and skip back does nothing.

Do things work better for you if you drag the timeline with a mouse instead?

The web player is not a sophisticated PVR player you really should consider one of the many direct play clients. You could even use AC3 output from the Tablo and get 5:1 sound and use a remote with a 10' interface.

At the moment I am exploring/testing with the PVR until l gey an IPTV subscription. I normally use the Tablo WEB app for viewing Tablo stuff.

What player would you recommend for NextPVR?

I modified
var time = ((player.currentTime + startSeconds) + 60);

to

var time = ((player.currentTime + startSeconds) + 88);

and I get a 3 minute skip ahead.

The skip back does nothing.

I don't watch Netflix or Prime etc in a browser so for me PVR viewing is no different.

I used to use uidroid the uiclient for Android, but sub introduced a bug later on in v5 which makes it hard for me to use so right now I use Kodi on CoreElec or Android.
