Was wondering if it was even possible to create a NPVR plugin for Plex. I know that we can't do the livetv streaming, But i was hoping that i would be able to bring up maybe the epg and schedule recording,schedule season passes, look at recording status, all from Plex,   thank you for the information ---

Have only given it a quick spin, but so far seems to work well.  [https://github.com/psyciknz/NextPVR-Plex](https://github.com/psyciknz/NextPVR-Plex) This is a basic plugin that will stream your recordings - none of the other functionality you mention unfortunately.  ---

I am interested in trying your solution, but can you give some tips on exactly what I'd have to do to install/test it?   ---

You just need to [download the bundle](https://github.com/psyciknz/NextPVR-Plex/archive/master.zip), extract it, and place it in your plug-ins folder it like any other channel.   For Mac it is /Users//Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Plug-ins For Window it is /Users//AppData/Local/Plex Media Server/Plug-ins ---

Compairing this plugin to some of the other Plex PVR live TV plugins I have a few wish list items. - channel logos like hdhomerun viewer. - recording options like the mediaportal plugin - thumbnails for recorded shows / movies if possible (These are collected by npvr if using guide enhancers) ---

Hey All, I've got this added to my PMS install and its excellent :) I've got a couple of questions though: 1) Is there a way to add images for the channels, such as BBC 1, BBC2 etc (In the UK)? 2) Whats the best encoding method to stop plex from having to transcode - it takes up to 4 minutes from me trying to watch a recording before it will play and it must be the format I'm using? Thanks in advance. ---
