Curious if you've tried NextPVR and have an opinion on it vs Tvheadend? I have the former up and running so I'm finally able to test PVR functionality. Surprising how well it works but improvements are needed.

Well... I don't have any windows machines, so NextPVR was out. I had a Raspberry Pi lying around and got some usb DVB-C devices when it turned out my cable company did not turn off the signal. (I had never bothered to check before) So it was just a project to see if it could work. TVheadend seemed the most open/easy/well supported project for linux, so I tried that. Mind you, I did not get it to work on my old Intel NUC that I was also considering for the project (a newer linux for that), but it worked fine on the Pi.

It completely scratches my itch, it can record, it gets the EPG from the channels. The only thing that's missing is that it didn't have the channel icons, but I added those in Kodi (I suppose it's better to do it at the source though, so both Kodi devices get it with only one time the work) and that works fine.

The only problem I've had this far is that for some reason the 64bit version of Android does not refresh the EPG info from TVheadend. The 32bit version does fine. The MacOS version does fine, but not the 64bit Android version. So every day or so, I need to clear the cache or update my nightly. I posted the issue, I'm hoping it gets resolved.

Post some screen caps of the missing image issue because I have no idea what you're talking about.

also just got around to that. Here's a screenshot from AndroidTV showing a suggestion for Rosewater from Kodi. Then the screen you get sent to when you select it.

 

Voice assistants are the 's spawn, BTW.

I know... I am properly paranoid, generally. I do like Alexa though. Also great for my children. It's a mixed blessing, let's say.

Been dogfooding Leia for a couple weeks now. Insomnia also helps when it comes to finding the time.

I've luckily only had insomnia during one stressful period. I do remember loving the amount of shit I got done. That's all in the past now though. I have two young children and I am wondering where all my time went. Especially when my wife is away for a few days, I get next to nothing done. But hey, just a few more years
