Hi all, I'v been using LIve TV in XBMC/Kodi for some time previously on Linux TVHead and then MythTV, I recently migrated to Windows platform as I wanted to use Playon to stream Netflix and Amazon to Kodi.
When I migrated to Windows I did a bit of research on the free PVR back ends and decided to go with NEXTPVR, all seems be OK although there are a couple of issues (or rather unsupported functionality) e.g pausing live is a bit hit and miss and watching a program that already is recording from the start (where the file is growing) can not be watched from start to end.
I guess my main requirements are:
- Flawless Live TV with pause & rewind/fast forward
- The ability to watch a program from the start that is currently being recorded.
- Channel icons
- channel changes ~1-2 sec
- Some kind of artwork for programmes in EPG.
- The ability to support both of my tuners TBS6905 - quad dvbS2 PCIe and a USB hauppauge win nova t
- The ability to stream multiple LIve TV using the above tuners to multiple Kodi clients (RPI2) and changing channels with effecting any other of the clients (sometimes changing channels on another client with nextpvr will Pause live tv for a second)
- The ability to record multiple programmes at the same time
- Supporting Kodi Jarvis series recording
- my current backend platform is Windows 10 which also runs Kodi Jarvis I also have 2 RPI2 with openelec 6.1
I will of coarse continue my research on Dvblogic, I'm quite happy to pay for it if it works and meets the majority of my requirements, but I was hoping for some feedback/experiences, it would be gratefully recieved !
