PVR clients are not working

    Hi to all.

    I am a new member on this forum asking for help.

    I am using LibreELEC 10.0.4 - Kodi v.19.5 Matrix on RPi4.arm on SD card 16GB.

    Recently all was ok with installed PVR clients

    (Argus TV Client, BlueThunder Client, Enigma2 Client, PVR IPTV simple Client, Stalker Client, NextPVR PVR Client, MythTV PVR Client),

    but about week or two ago not possible to see any channel.

    Event log is showing: Server is unreachable for all clients, except for NextPVR PVR Client - Add-on couldn't be loaded

    I am not a skilled user, but I was trying to uninstall clients and reinstall one by one but no help.

    Kindly ask for help about my problem.

    (I was searching forum for help but found nothing about)

    Thanks a lot for your time and effort .

    Upgrade to LE 11.0.3

    Thanks for suggestion.

    Have another SD card 16Gb with fresh installed LE 11.0.3 but no way to get TV channels.

    Today again made a complete fresh installation of LE 11.0.3 installed 3 PVR clients ...

    (ArgusTV, NextPVR PVR Client and PVR IPTV Simple Client) but no TV channels ...

    Other add-ons for streaming are working OK

    Internet connection is wired.

    .. btw ... have also (on another tv) android X96mini with v19.5 Matrix and

    on that device, as far as I remember TV channels stopped

    to work approximately in the same time as on LibreELEC 10.0.4 v19.5 Matrix ...

    systems are independent ... but on the same network


    So, my problem still exist and I hope to get some other suggestion/s...

    Thanks for your time and effort.

    If you have the backend for NextPVR installed remotely or on the LE itself upload the LE debug log and I can have a look. The NextPVR client won't work without a backend otherwise there are no issues with 11.0.3.

    What is the source of your TV channels. Is it DVB or some IPTV playlist.

    Hello, thanks both of you for your reply.

    First, I have to admit that I'm unskilled in all of this ... so I will try to answer your questions

    in plain language and kindly request your answers in the same way :)

    emveepee ...

    all PVR (ArgusTV Client, DVBViewer Client, MythTV PVR, NextPVR PVR Client,

    Enigma2 Client, PVR IPTV Simple Client, Stalker ClientVDR VNSI Client, are installed from LE repository.

    Where to find and how to upload (copy&paste) LE debug log ?( ... :!: :?: :!:

    What is backend :?: ?(

    petediscrete ...

    source of my TV channels is DVB, do not have any IPTV subscription.

    You see, I am almost lost in all of this.

    I do hope with your help I can restore my PVR Client/s.

    Thanks for your time and effort.

    Thanks for your time and effort.

    Many PVR clients need a backend to do tuning, scheduling, EPG and recording. Please read the Kodi wiki https://kodi.wiki/view/PVR/Backends for more information.

    TVHeadend, NextPVR and VDR backends can be installed on LibreELEC as addons. Here are some CoreELEC documentation links on setting up TVHeadend https://wiki.coreelec.org/coreelec:tvheadend and NextPVR https://wiki.coreelec.org/coreelec:nextpvr. LE will be similar.

    Ok. You don’t mention if it’s DVBS or DVBT or what region you are based in. That information would help greatly to solve your problem. Have you tried TVHeadend.

    Only DVBT and what is available over internet connection .... based in Central Europe

    ... just install TVHeadend HTSP Client on LE 10.0.4 ...

    Event log: Connecting to backend... server is unreachable

    I will try to install on LE 11.0.3 ... did it but, unfortunately, no channels

    Anyhow thanks a lot for suggestion.

    Thanks for your time and effort.

    What type/brand of DVBT tuner are you using.

    petediscrete...

    my DVBT tuners are TV tuners connected to aerial antenna for FTA channels,

    another one is IP provider TV Box for internet, telephone and for TV channels,

    both FTA and paid ... everything else is over internet ...

    I had a problem with my RPi4 with LE 10.0.4 with kodi v19.5 matrix ...

    sorry if my question wasn't clear ...
