I have now DVBviewer with Kodi as front end working.

I must say, it works excellent! Timeshifting always was a problem with Argus or TVmosaic. WIth DVBviewer (or more exact, the Media Server part) it works flawlessly.

DVBviewer has a steep learning curve, but once you get through this, it is worth every cent!
I still have to learn a lot of it, but time will help.

Nice that you found a replacement and make it feel like an upgrade at the same time.
Can you tell me if dvbviewer has the ability to generate thumbnails for recordings in kodi?

Most alternatives i tried couldnt. It's the only thing keeping me from switching.

Until now, I have never bothered about thumbnails.
But according to this wiki page of DVBviewer, https://en.dvbviewer.tv/wiki/Options_Movie_Thumbs, it looks like it is possible.
You could provide the recordings folder and see if it does what you want.

Yes, it automatically creates a thumbnail.
