Veranderingen voor v4.2.4 - v5.0 Beta

• Over the last 6 months or so I've been busy working on the next generation of NextPVR software. The primary goal of v5 was to making the it possible to run NextPVR on other platforms. We've made good progress with that, and now have an application we'd like to get more people testing it. Today I've posted public beta information, for those that are interested in giving it a go.
• Is NextPVR v5 ready for everyone to install? No. For the average user, wanting a stable release, we'd recommend sticking with NextPVR v4.2.4. The new v5 application is coming along nicely, but there is definitely more work to be done. The new public beta is to get the application into the hands of more users, so we can get more feedback, so we can gauge areas that users want to see more focus in.
• Is it exactly the same as v4? No. Unlike previous versions, the setup and configuration is done using a web application. Where possible I've reused stuff, so there is a lot of familiar aspects to NextPVR v5, but there is also a lot of new stuff and things that needed to be done different ways...so there is definitely some learning curve for getting started with the new application.
• Does it work with other clients, like Kodi, or the iOS/Android apps? Yes. In general it works the same with Kodi, the iOS apps, Apple TV app, and Android app. Emby will need an updated plugin, which will be provided shortly.
• Installing on Windows
• On Windows NextPVR supports IPTV, HDHomeRun, digital tuners (DVB-T, DVB-C, DVB-S, ATSC and QAM), SAT>IP tuner (DVB-S, DVB-C, DVB-T) and HDPVR style devices (HDPVR, HDPVR2, Colossus, Colossus2, Rocket)
• If you're going install on a Windows machine with NextPVR already installed, unzip it into a different directory, and you'll need to set the setting in config.xml, to something other than 8866 (like maybe 8867), since this port will already be in use.
• The latest files can be downloaded from:
• Windows files at:
• http://nextpvr.com/beta/windows/NPVR.zip
• To install and run on Windows
• copy binaries to directory like C:Program FilesNPVR
• run NextPVRServer.exe
• Windows Client
• The windows client, nextpvr.exe, is included in the 'client' subdirectory. At this stage it can only connect to NextPVR running on the same Windows machine.
• A tray app is also available, which can give you a visual indication of when the application is recording or idle. This can run using NPVRTray.exe.

• added new "Filter" menu option in the Recordings screen for users that have more than one recording directory, allow you to show just the "KIDS" recordings etc
• video/music/picture library now gives useful error if the user tries to delete a file but it cant (like readonly or access denied etc).

• recordings with show titles that only vary by upper/lower case are now grouped together in the Recordings screen.
• added 'exit' action for web clients
• fixed a minor skin issue where text would occassionally get slightly wider when quite a few items were in the list and you'd scroll down and back up the list.

• reduced memory requirements for processing of live stream for analog/hdpvr/hdhr-prime devices, which could previously lead to errors/crashes on machines with limited memory

• added 'Metadata' button in the Video Library, which can be used to download metadata/artwork for the selected folder.
• if metadata/artwork downloading is enabled, it'll now auto download shows without artwork in the TV Guide when you view a show's details.
• added option to use new single/multi file screens in the Recording Ready list when you click on a group. This will be off by default, but may evolve in that direction in the 3.3 if users seem interested.
• added a few more skinning options in new single/multi screens. @genre, @duration, @subtitle, @subtitleOrAirDate
