a newer freeze issue that is very annoying.

When I first upgraded, a very significant number
of recorded SD TV shows with marked commercials
looped uncontrollably during initial playback.
The first few seconds were shown over and over.
I initially avoided this issue using "999"
but eventually post-processed the .edl file
to remove short initial commercial skips;
this fixed most loops.

I'm not sure when it started but my most recent
issue is a playback freeze near the end of many shows.
For example, tonight we watched Top Chef.
For 90% of the show, everything went well.
Then near the finale, the playback freezes at 20:10.
No keypresses restart the video so I cancel the
current playback, restart the show and try to
skip forward to where it froze. Often, but not always,
my skip forward requests are ignored but eventually
I manage to restart the video at the frozen position.

This gets very tedious when you have to do it over and over!

My current TV show, logs and configuration info is here:

Is there any way to prevent this problem?
Is it a Samsung Smart TV issue or a NextPVR issue?

Could you provide a download link for the app? I am not sure where the app downloader tool saves its temporary files.

Thanks

EDIT: I helped myself by uploading it to the TV set using the app loader, then downloading it via FTP. Now I have a complete set of all user apps, which I can upload en bloc to each TV]]>

Anyway, here's a few things I noticed. The first being a bit of a big one. As I was installing I hit enter too soon and failed to enter the IP address the second time it is asked for. This left me with the app trying to connect, but it would never really fail. Even after uninstalling and reinstalling it kept trying to connect to the wrong IP and even pressing 000 failed to get me back to settings. Ultimately I had to reset my TV and start fresh. So maybe some kind of timed failure that takes you back to the settings screen?

Secondly, I could pause live TV, but could not move forward at all. No way to skip commercials.
Lastly, if I started a show, then completely stopped, I was unable to 'resume'. It would just start over.

You may already be aware of these issues, but wanted to pass on my experience so far. Everything else I tested seemed to work great, but I haven't really had a lot of time to put it through the app through it's paces yet! Anxious to test it out more this weekend!]]>

Anyone that can give some pointers of what Samsung 2014/2015 models that will support the NextPVR Web Smart TV app? Since Samsung no longer supports loading of apps through USB, the Tiezen TVs no longer can run Trummels solution. Hence I am thinking to replace my NMT with an older Samsung DVD/Blue-Ray.

Thanks,

1. Would it be possible to control the SmartTV SLEEP function
within this app?

2. The other night our Internet service was down but my home
network worked fine. The SmartTv would not let me startup
the NextPVR app because there was no Internet access!
Can this be fixed? I used my MediaMVP in the meantime.

1) Can't change to next/previous channel with CH+ and CH-; have to go back to tv guide to choose a channel;
2) Can't select a certain channel with number if that channel has no epg i.e. if channel no. 1 has no epg pressing "1" on the remote has no effect;
3) Channel change is very slow, takes at least 10-12 secs (on kodi android takes 1-2 secs.);
4) GUI is very very slow.
Anyway, very good project.
