Well I just re-installed after a -purge and deleting the /home/hts/user directory.
Still many of the same problems remain, but some are different like I can not record at all now.
Not a great experience.
I see fragmented documentation like Wiki does not point to full docs, inconsistent naming during initial install and a list of issues including server crashes, so I do not know how to be more honest about it.
It seems to me like an abandoned project or a project that one person alone is trying to maintain, when there is far too much to fix.
What my statement should say to this project, is that if someone is maintaining and testing this perhaps they need to step up and get some fixes done , because the way it is, it's pretty messed up.
Maybe you would rather that I am not honest and tell you how wonderful it is despite that I have to restart server and client several times daily?
Lets face it, at least on the Pi 3 it is way messed up.
I may have to try NextPVR as daunting as it seems to start over. Obviously the learning curve on this package was time wasted.
I do hope that others considering learning all this to install it, first read this, so they are warned in advance that it is a WASTE OF TIME at least on Rpi 3 with Kodi 19 as a client.
