So, I am using NextPVR 3.8.3 with renderer codec EVR, Video Decoders CyberLink Video Decoder (PDVD13) and Audio Decover LAV Audio Decoder. NextPVR is running on a very high end machine with a dedicated M2 SSD for DVR recording with a tuner source of a Silicon Dust HD HomeRun with Amazon FireTV's as my clients. Everything is connected to an enterprise grade gigabit switched backbone of dell switches. Here is the problem. When watching live TV or TV Recordings via Kodi on the FireTV's I am getting equally spaced horizontal distortion lines in the video, especially during movement in scenes. Once a scene is no longer moving it goes away, but as soon as people/objects start moving again they come back, with the more movement the more distortion. If I pull up the recordings on the media server itself and watch them in NextPVR there isn't any distortion. So it doesn't seem to be an issue with the tuner/server/PVR recordings/codecs. It seems to be an issue with the NextPVR client on Kodi on a FireTV. Has anyone else experienced this?
Thanks!

The NextPVR decoder and renderer settings are only relevent when watching in NextPVR itself. When you're watching via Kodi, it'll just come down to the settings in Kodi.
It sounds like you're describing interlacing artifacts, so easily fixed by turning on deinterlacing in Kodi (assuming the FireTV can do deinterlacing).

On my currently installed Kodi 17 (on Windows), I can click the 'Settings' icon during video playback, click video settings, then select the deinterlacing method. I can remember exactly where it was on 16.1, but it'll be somewhere similar.

Raspberry pi is a great affordable option for live TV viewing.

A better option might be too deinterlace the video before you store it, or before you send it to the clients. This should be possible in your server.

He stated he has multiple clients, and he seemed to have a beefy server. It therefore seemed a cheaper solution than replacing the clients immediately.
