The red buttons allows you to start a recording. Shows are the currently on are highlighted in grey tab them and you’ll see some options. Or you can click the “TV Guide” tab, to see your TV listings: To see your TV listings, you can click the “Now” tab to see what’s currently on:
For example: if your HTPC’s IP address is 192.168.1.6, and you left the port at the default of 8866, you’d type 192.168.1.6:8866 in the address bar and press Enter: Then, from your web browser, type your private IP address, followed by a colon and the port you set above. The first thing you need to do is find your HTPC’s private and public IP address. This interface is much more useful when you’re accessing it from your other computers, so you can schedule your HTPC to record shows or watch live TV from any computer in your house. It doesn’t do anything you can’t do from within NextPVR itself, or from within Kodi. The web UI, of course, isn’t that useful this way.
Step Two: Access the Web UI From Another Computer If all goes well, you should now see the web UI. You’ll see thumbnails for all of your recordings, or you can head to the Now tab to watch TV. Open the web browser, type localhost:8866 into the address bar, then press Enter (if you set an alternative port, replace “8866” with that alternative). With everything set up, you should now be able to check out the web client from on your HTPC. I’d also recommend setting a username and password, and a PIN for Kodi (labeled here as XBMC, which is Kodi’s former name). In the menu that pops up, click “Settings”, then head to the “Clients” section.Įnsure that the “Enable Web Server” box is checked, choosing an alternative web server port if you so desire (the default of 8866 is fine if you’re not sure).

On your PC with the TV tuner installed, open NextPVR, then right-click the user interface. The first thing you should do is make sure NextPVR’s web UI is enabled–this feature enabled by default, but let’s check just to make sure. So if you haven’t done that already, start there–then come back here for the next step.

Here’s how to set it up.Īll this assumes you’ve already bought a TV tuner, installed it in your home theater PC (HTPC), and set up NextPVR using our guide. If you’ve set up NextPVR to watch live TV in Kodi, you can actually stream that live TV and its recordings to any computer on your network–from the browser on your laptop and mobile devices, or through other Kodi boxes. Even if you have multiple computers, you only need one TV tuner card to watch TV on all of them.
