Our range of for NAS, PC and Raspberry Pi platforms offers everything you need to enjoy your favorite Satellite (DVB-S/S2), Cable (DVB-C and QAM), Terrestrial (DVB-T/T2 and ATSC), IPTV and Analog TV channels and recordings within your home network and on the go! Back End Installation My installation is NAS based although you can use a PC. Installation is handled very nicely and only takes a few minutes.

1. Paint Wet
2. My Tv Source

DVBLink Server - Free - This gives you access to the DVBLink packages. It oversees the install, licensing, uninstall, etc. DVBLink TVSource - See 1st post for pricing. This is the recording app itself. Note there are different versions for different types of CPUs and NAS vendors.

Using a custom transponder list with DVBLogic TVSource v4.x. I assume you have installed DVBLink Server and DVBLink TVSource already and are about to add your TV.

DVBLink EPG Loader for PercData - See 1st post for pricing - This is the guide data interface. PercData - See 1st post for pricing - Annual guide data subscription.

Both packages comes with a free trial and you can activate them from the DVBLink server (no need to go to their site and sign-up, etc). I believe the trial period is 20 days. PercData offers a free 7 day trial. Configuration is completely browser based and fairly snappy on my very low end NAS (used for testing). It's pretty straight forward such as adding your tuners (mine were automatically found) and channels.

It allows you to copy the line-up from tuner to tuner so it's rather fast. There aren't a lot of settings and I haven't found a need yet to dig into them.

The guide is rather Plain Jane although based on some shots I have seen it can be customized to some degree. I need to spend some quality time here as it appears where most of the work goes on.

Overall you can get everything up and running just following your instincts. At this point you are ready to configure Kodi and start watching TV. Client Installation I'll be using Kodi and support for DVBLink is included in the naive installation. All you have to do is enable the Add-on (and configure) then turn on TV support. Under Add-on configuration entered the NAS' IP address under General and under Stream be sure to select Enable Timeshift so you'll be able to pause the video ('trick play features').

Once the Add-on has been configured and enabled to go System - TV - General and select Enabled. At this point you should be good to go. If it isn't working be sure to check that the Add-on has been enabled. At times I have found it not being enabled at first. Once working this never appears to be an issue. Once I was up and running I installed the Titan MediaBrowser skin. It has so many options it's a little daunting at first such as turning off/on mouse support makes a big difference in how it operates (and looks).

I couldn't figure out how to delete recordings with my remote until I disabled mouse support than magically it was second nature. I have it configured one way for my desktop and another for my 'official' clients that only use a remote. Right now those are a Windows PC (my old WMC server) and a Chromebox. You can backup the skin settings and restore them rather easily on another client. Even from Windows to OpenELEC or vice versa.

Highly recommend the skin as you can pretty much remove the PC look and end-up with a nice looking standalone interface. The images attached below are with mouse support enabled and aren't quite as slick looking. Related Topics Kodi MySQL library database Since you already have a NAS and more than likely using Kodi as one or more clients why not put the NAS to further good use. You can easily store your Kodi's Video and Music library in one central location (your NAS!) This way your collection will automatically show up with new clients and be updated when changes occur.

The only gotcha is to share the same library each Kodi installation has to be running the same release. Installation is rather straight forward however it does vary based on the NAS vendor. I have use QNAP and ReadyNAS with QNAP being a little easier. I didn't have to use SSH at all.

Although with ReadyNAS it was simply editing one file. A easy to follow reference can be found. There are four steps.

Install MySQL Server on the NAS - look under Apps. Install PHPMyAdmin on the NAS - look under Apps. Configure MySQL Server. Create and or edit the advancedsettings.xml for each Kodi client. The above reference covers each step and one suggestion is to simply cut/paste the MySQL commands.

First time it might take an hour to fight your way through the entire process. Afterwards well under half an hour and only a few minutes to setup each Kodi installation. You can use PHP MyAdmin to check the status of your process. Such as if the databases have been created and have they been updated to reflect your files.

Kodi creates a separate database for each version. Currently I have one for 14.2 and 15.

You can simple delete the unused databases as you upgrade Kodi. Much like DVBLink I have seen this discussed and never gave it much thought. Now that I have I wish I had way back then. Thanks for starting this thread.

I'm currently splitting backend time between DVBlink running on Synology DS412+ and ServerWMC but will likely be transitioning completely to running DVBlink on NAS as I think it makes a lot of sense. While ServerWMC is free and includes EPG data via WMC it does require running a PC 24/7. Thus far my experience has been that DVBlink changes channels slightly faster than WMC and that FF/RW through timeshifted material is smoother. Thus far I haven't had any issue with failed recordings although I need to do some more testing with conflict resolution.

Thus far I haven't had any issue with failed recordings although I need to do some more testing with conflict resolution. This week during the day when the cat is away (WMC hibernating) I'm going to schedule various recordings to see what happens.

First to see if it can handle the load of four concurrent and back to back recordings. Then I'll check out the user interface. My test NAS is very under powered so if it can handle it virtually anything can. It's a 2-bay unit no bigger than the drives themselves. If it works out I'll be upgrading the NAS. Four recording followed by four worked great.

I figured out some of the recordings features and updated the first post. Next up I want to change the skip back from thirty seconds to eight. Shouldn't be hard (just saw in Kodi 15 you can change these setting from the GUI). Right now I can simply turn the service off at the NAS and reboot the WMC PC to ensure they don't step on each other. Full speed ahead I'm tired of viewing test recordings so I've promoted DVBLogic to active duty.

Not quite ready to drop WMC but I'm going to let this guy prove itself. I still think the user interface isn't as slick although I won't really know until I give it a real test. My daily viewing. Tonight there are only two shows scheduled so I'll see how that works out.

More than likely nothing scheduled for Saturday and if all goes well I'll give it Sunday. Typically a busy night. If I make it until my PercData trial expires I'll probably sign up and commit 100%. It's only TV. I have been impressed by the low end NAS. It appears to have no issues handling the activity although it's only going to get worse as I throw it some real action. I thought I would have to upgrade the NAS but now I'm thinking this guy can do it.

Running DVBLink on a NAS is a very good option for a PVR, especially when running one of the inexpensive Android boxes as a client. Each client on the network has the abilities and capabilities from the server on the NAS. In other words each box connected to different TV's will have the same pause/play and fast forward and also recording function on each box. Also with kodi you get most of the streaming services, ex.

Netflix hulu and streaming files locally. One step better, is to port DVBLink to one of the quad core Amlogic TV boxes, they are 5 tmes faster than an older nas is. I have a $35 Amlogic on order and it will be a PVR server tvheaded. I asked DVBLink if they would port their software to Amlogic said they did have the time right now.

I can live with tvheadend's short Cummings because it is sooooon fast. Channel changing is only 2 seconds, and the guide loads real fast. The search function is fast and a lot of options. Here is the one I have on order, it will be faster than the one I am using now. One step better, is to port DVBLink to one of the quad core Amlogic TV boxes, they are 5 tmes faster than an older nas is. I'm not so sure for several reasons.

I haven't found any performance issues with my NAS - and it's under powered. I don't like to rely on clients (if you are going to use it as such too). They tend to be messed with the most and I wouldn't be comfortable with it to record my wife's show. If you are going to use a dedicated box you need to purchase it and possible storage space.

I already have the NAS for file serving not to mention the available storage space. One central location for all my data with redundancy to boot. I don't see any advantages for me.

I already have the NAS for file serving not to mention the available storage space. One central location for all my data with redundancy to boot.

I don't see any advantages for me. Someone else who knows. Well, I have been using my NAS for 3 or 4 years as a a PVR backend server for my tv clients and it worked well. These newer Android boxes are very very powerful compared to my nas, so having these boxes as a PVR server they are very fast and easy to set up. I can record to the the NAS or hard drive or memory stick.

The idea of backend/frontend running on same box is interesting but I have my doubts about using an Amlogic Android box as a server for multiple displays and multiple simultaneous recordings without dropping frames. TVH also can't do series recording which is deal breaker for many people. Using DVBlink as backend on NAS, EPG loads instantly and channel changing speed is 2-3 seconds which isn't a significant difference from backend/frontend on single box. A while back I found a post (Kodi forum?) from someone who had setup openELEC/Kodi/DVBlink on a Chromebox and suspect this in combination with Android box(s) could function analogous to a Tivo with minis for OTA.

I already a have a Chromebox and if I didn't have a NAS I might be tempted to try this out however keeping on all recordings centralized on NAS with Terabytes of storage makes more sense than using an USB drive plugged into the box acting as DVBlink server. I do think the (third party) openELEC support for the Amlogic Android boxes has improved to the point at which I will getting one to try out as a Kodi PVR client. I've had a NAS for while and while I knew in the back of my mind it could function as a PVR backend, its something I never really considered doing. I suspect this is the case for many NAS owners. I've had a NAS for while and while I knew in the back of my mind it could function as a PVR backend, its something I never really considered doing.

I suspect this is the case for many NAS owners. I was of the same mindset. I thought there were simply too many gotchas and DVRing isn't where you want gotchas! I have my NAS scheduled to turn off at 2 am and wake up at 6 pm and I can use Wake-on-LAN if I need access at other times. I like that none of my viewing devices are tied into recordings.

With WMC I have been using the WMC PC for my main viewing. It works great but there are always times you would like to reboot, reconfigure something or whatnot.

This way the entire recording process is handled by a single device and regardless of what viewing issues I may have it has zero effect on my recordings. By the way thanks for the Titan MediaBrowser recommendation. I like it and it brings enough of a difference to Kodi it feels fresh.

Having something new makes the possible switch a little more enticing. I posted a few images of the skin in action in the Client Installation post. Glad you are liking Titan. I'm typically not someone who cares much about skins, but when using Kodi as PVR frontend, Titan allows you configure the Kodi interface to your preference including hiding those features/options which the you decide are not relevant giving it more of a STB feel. While I may like default (confluence) skin on my PC, on the TVs which are accessed by everyone else in the house simpler is often better.

Your comments about occasional need to reboot the PC is one factor which lead me toward switching to DVBlink from ServerWMC. Thus far DVBlink runs on NAS in background painlessly. Your comments about occasional need to reboot the PC is one factor which lead me toward switching to DVBlink from ServerWMC. It hasn't been an issue for me. So much so for roughly two years I used my desktop as the WMC Server. I simply used dual displays and never lost a recording because of it.

One worry I do have is what issues I might run into when the NAS' firmware/OS is updated. I know recently they released a Beta update for ReadyNAS and it stopped DVBLogic from being installed and or working. Do I freeze the NAS or take my chances. I will say in the three years Windows never touched my WMC installation.

My Tv Source

It simply motors on. It's one of my concerns. A weekend of recordings did nothing to talk me out of switching. Biggest issue is getting used to the remote's layout (harmony). I keep hitting the wrong button.

Such as skip to the end of the recording instead of skip 30 seconds. I did notice the image looks a little better.

Either scaling 720p to 1080p or deinterlacing 1080i Kodi just seems to do it better. That's a nice bonus. I have spend quality time with Kodi 15 (via Windows) and Kodi 14 (OpenELEC) on the same PC. I use a flash drive to boot OpenELEC. If I flip the USB drive out it boots Windows off the hard drive.

Covering both bases for now. By the midweek I'll decide to punt WMC or DVBLink. Here is a sample of the data that is generated by Schedules Direct, the same information will be provided by PercData.
