Help with Desktop Gadget

[Bobbybear]

I have just rebuilt my PC with new hardware and a fresh install of Windows 11 Pro 24H2.
I want to use the old Desktop NPVR Gadget, it's really useful to quickly see what is recording and about to record.
I can't seem to get it to work it will not connect to the NPVR server.
When I click on the NPVR logo it tries to open a webpage   https://http//localhost:8867/index.html:8867/index.html   not   http://localhost:8867/index.html
So what am I doing wrong I have all the same settings as my old gadget and have coped the NPVR data files and the NextPVR program files from my old machine onto the new one after the program install.
Do I need to install Java? or am I really missing something, last time I messed with this was in 2021
Many thanks Bob

I cannot remember but since it is asking for a server not URL I'd assume that would just be the server IP address.

I use the desktop gadget on Windows 11 just fine. I can confirm what Martin suggests from my settings that the "Server:" field should just be the IP address of the NPVR server.

Thanks for the answers.
After another few hours of research, and experimentation (plus a few sparks in my 80 year old brain) I have got it working again.
I found a copy of an updated npvr.js file for v5 I had saved and server info was just 'localhost' as in the address for the NPVR web interface .
I really should write a text file of the steps and file locations of how to get the gadget working in v7.
If anyone thinks it a good idea I could post the "instructions help.text" file plus the npvr.js file attached to this thread.
