Pre/Post Padding after Changing Device?

[membball84]

Hi all!

Love the NEXTPVR service I have in Kodi. I'm having an odd issue however .....

Backstory in case it matters to this:

I had the windows NextPVR Software downloaded on my laptop. I had to do a factory reset on that Laptop .... I reinstalled it after resetting the laptop. I noticed after logging in that my Pre and Post Padding were still there the same as usual but now all of my recordings on my devices in Kodi are not following the set rules.

My provider is about 2 minutes and 38 seconds (give or take) behind most live TV so all of my recordings start about 2 minutes and 40 seconds too early and I have to Fast Forward on every recording.

However, my Pre Padding is set correctly to 2 and my post is also set to 3 so it will run over time to catch the end of episodes movies etc.


All of my recordings BEFORE resetting my laptop followed these Pre and Post Padding Rules, now after resetting the laptop it does not follow these rules.

Could this be because I'm using the old configuration inside Kodi on the NextPVR Add-on? ..... It works .... but the Pre and Post are not working ....

No, the Kodi settings don't impact the recordings at all. New recordings scheduled from Kodi will have the padding from Kodi though.

Padding is stored with the recording though so old recordings will have whatever the default was at the time. Also padding is optional so not guaranteed.

Sending zipped logs would help us help you better.

Thanks for the information! ... It was my understanding that if I left the Kodi Padding at "0" that it would then follow the rules set in NextPVR on the Web App in my Settings. So this is not correct then? I need to set the Padding in Kodi on my recordings from now on?

If you followed the steps in your other thread that is correct you don't need to do anything with padding in Kodi just leave them at zero. The logs explain what is happening.

Could anyone clarify how these logs are generated and submitted?

In the NextPVR web app, on the Settings->About screen, click the Log Files button. It'll zip them up, and download them. You can then attach it to your post here on the forums.
