Certain seemingly random channels when selected in Kodi do not load. A progress bar is shown with buffering. I have reverted back to Gotham and the issue goes away. I have tested a nightly to see if this has been already fixed but the problem persists. I have done a completely fresh install of Windows 7, the latest NextPVR and all of the most recent patches. I have also verified that my other devices such as Plex and the Hauppauge live tv viewer can access the channels just fine. This is almost certainly an issue with Kodi and not with any other parts of the backend.

I have tried changing localhost to the IP of the machine with no success. I have completely disabled all of my firewalls and the problem exists. I have no recordings so the code below is a red flag. I am losing my mind over this!

Here is a log for a working channel:

I guessing it wont make any difference, but does disabling timeshift in the addon settings make any difference?

There hasn't been any changes to the NextPVR addon in Kodi/Helix yet (still waiting for them to be merged). At this stage it's still exactly the same as the Gotham addon, so I can only assume they've changed some in Kodi which has caused it to become broken - at least on some attempts or certain channels.

It looks like it's not managing to video the audio/video streams. I wonder if this is related to the margro channel change speed improvement.

Hey sub, thanks for the reply. I did try the time shift trick but it had no change.

I can confirm that reverting back to Gotham makes the issue go away.
