So i was happily using the latest Krypton build on my NUC system. Thought all was great.....
Until i noticed Planned Recordings (timers) widget on the home screen PVR section showed timers that has already expired (and were recorded properly).
It does this very consistently. After i choose manage channels -> epg refresh on one of the channels, proper timer status is displayed (immediately).
A restart of Kodi also works.
Just wondering if this experienced by more users before reporting to DVBlogic.
So...anyone seen this behaviour on Krypton B6/7 ?
Thanks.
PS: i should mention i am using a 5.5. version of the DVBL software. It might very well be that i have to upgrade to version 6 to be compatible with the asynchronous updating 'feature' that has been introduced?
Edit removed a less-friendly statement ;-)

Spoke to soon.
Came home to a out-of-sync state of the pvr upcoming recording that had already been completed.
Furthermore, i suspect this is only a symptom, as all pvr related screen showed blank.
Its not a standby issue as i toke that variable away. Since noone else seems interested in/have this issue i will investigate this one-man issue further

Hey Atreyu,
Are you seeing duplicates timers in the EPG, is this correct? or have i misunderstood? i'm not seeing any issue using Kodi B7... a couple of Beta versions ago there was a discussion around "ghost timers" but this has since been fixed....

Hi AshG,
No, first thing I noticed is that the pvr widget on the homescreen-pvr section was showing 'upcoming events' that were in the past.
Upon further investigation it seems that after some (extended) amount of time the complete pvr add-on is frozen.
- timers are not displayed correctly ( showing last, already recorded program)
- recordings are empty on the 'recordings' tab. All recs are still there and available to Jarvis clients
- sometimes trying to use pvr services after idle time will completely freeze Kodi, showing only confluence/estuary background and noting else.
Since it's my main setup I reverted to Jarvis for the time being.
Added benefit: skipping is fluid again!
Most noticable downside: now a little issue that annoys me is back that's solved in Krypton: pressing up/down while watching live TV now shows next or previous program info again instead of the channel you are currently watching first. I'll live, though ;-).
I will test again when Krypton settles in some more...

If anyone is interested, this issue vanished somewhere between b7 and rc4 :-)
