My backend is Windows NextPVR v6. I have a rpi3 running raspbian 8 jessie which no longer gets updates. The latest available dpkg packages gave me this:

Kodi 17.3
NextPVR PVR Client 2.14.3

Is it possible to install a newer NextPVR PVR Client on Kodi 17.3 that would allow pausing live TV (Timeshift or Extended Timeshift)? I also have a rpi2 running LibreElec and it stopped updating with Kodi 18.9 and NextPVR PVR Client 3.3.1 and Timeshift works there.

I know little about kodi but could I add the LibreElec kodi addon repository to raspbian's Kodi 17.3 and install NextPVR PVR Client 3.3.1 there or install a newer NextPVR PVR Client from a zipfile? I would remove the raspbian kodi-pvr-nextpvr package first to avoid conflicts.

Any suggestions? Major changes to the OS are not possible for me and would instead just tolerate the lack of timeshift.

The clients are linked to the version so only Krypton client can be installed with Krypton (v17). NextPVR doesn't support the old v4 timeshifting model so you would need to use a v4 backend.

Not knowing why you can't upgrade, best to not use timeshifting there it will hang often enough. Simply buy a cheap Android device or another RPi and use use another HDMI port for Kodi which is at V20 and V21 is already in development.

Thanks Martin! Great advice as always. It's lack of health and energy preventing big configuration changes.
