Disappointing. I want to be able to "chase" a .ts recording-in-progress. I run NPVR on Windows, V4 on port 8867, V5 port 8866. The app defaults to 8867, I can't find a way to change to 8866. The app won't recognize a second server setting. I shouldn't have to reconfigure my NPVR Windows to accommodate the app. VLC for Android won't allow pause/ff/jump with .ts files. KODI, while buggy, lets me configure to either port, works with .ts, allows me to "chase" a recording. KODI gets my vote.

New Samsung A14 phone telling me app keeps on stopping so I had to uninstall it. Not sure why it works perfectly on my older phones, but I can access a lot through web browser anyway without this app. I just wish that every time you selected a show to record, the GUI would keep your place in the guide listings so you don't have to scroll back to last show.

The App is temperamental and should be considered BETA. Although it is not expensive (is is compared to other apps) it is too buggy to charge this amount IMHO. Lets hope the price will go into software development. I think the issues could be related to a NextPVR software update on the computer with the TV tuner card, but then why break the PAID app when the free PC software updates? I would think making sure the PAID app is up to date and working would be a priority. </rant> When it works it is fine and does the job well. It is unfortunate that it is categorized as a game and does not work with some remote controls.
