On my Media Server I have set up both JellyFin and NextPVR.

 

Using the same source for EPG and M3U files, NextPVR works very well to watch and record live TV.

 

But JellyFin with identical sources works well with EPG, and shows the progress of streams with the bar underneath the current channel, but will not record or allow live viewing.

 

Has anyone any hints ?

 

Also for both apps the PC I am using has a 2G ATI Raedon 550 card - anyone have any suggestions how to use this for hardware acceleration of the transcoding.

 

Thanks in advance

Are you using nextpvr plugin? Or trying to get jellyfin to operate your recoding decodes instead?

I gave up on jellyfin doing it. It was way worse than Plex. And Plex way worse than nextpvr.

I put nextpvr (via docker) on the same system and used the nextpvr jellyfin plugin for live tv, recordings.


Because I’m on Apple TV though, the jellyfin client is really immature. So I tend to use the nextpvr app.

I also gave up in integrating nextpvr into jellyfin. While I had it working for a time it was just too unreliable and recording schedules couldnt be set via jellyfin.  I run an android TV box and just have the jellyfin app and the nextpvr app installed.  Makes for a much happier household since it just works.

I can use jellyfin iOS to view live tv and recording via nextpvr. So that kinda works. But since I have the nextpvr Apple TV app and iOS nextpvr app, I just tend to use those.
