After over 10 years using MythTV I've decided to try NextPVR after many issues with MythTV following an upgrade to Ubuntu 21.04 and Kodi v19.
I've successfully installed NextPVR, web interface working nicely (aside from not being able to use VAAPI acceleration ... but this is most probably not NPVR related). Installed the Kodi-NextPVR addon and all seems to be working OK, although a recording failed to start this morning with the error message on the web interface "[Failed: The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found.]" ... other recordings have been successful over the last few days though.
My query though is that all the recordings, no matter when they were made, are all listed in Kodi with the same date and time stamp? On the web interface the recordings show the correct recording date/time and the recording filenames are also correctly date/time stamped in the filename. Is there a NPVR addon setting or configuration I've missed?

Assuming you are using the Estuary skin for the real test of correct data, check your browser after loading the web client and what you see with  http://ip:8866/service?method=recording....lter=ready The start_time_ticks field should be epoch time and different.

Thank you for your quick reply @emveepee , yes I did check against the default Estuary skin and same issue. Performed your recording list check and all the start_time_ticks were different. The web client and file names in recording folder all have the correct recording timestamp, only Kodi lists them all with the same timestamp. Seems the timestamp corresponds to NextPVR Recordings folder's tmestamp (the folder I designated in NPVR Settings to store recordings, permissions are 777 on that folder, subfolders have different timestamps - changed recording file date/time format to 'Plex' ... no difference, excepted for new recordings have a Title_yyy-mm-dd_StartEnd time format now).

Thanks,  this now become a typical support post with debug Kodi logs being required.

Yep, fair enough ... my initial thoughts were that perhaps I just missed a setting somewhere. Links to logs, noting that I normally run Kodi as standalone (user=kodi, no desktop environment, the only way so far I've been able to eliminate video tearing) and these logs were generated through a Gnome desktop environment (Metacity).

@LeKodeur   Sorry those logs require an account.  Kodi has it's own paste site paste.kodi.tv and I only need the kodi debug log.  In addition to the log I will probably need a link to your NextPVR database (npvr.db3) you can PM it to me. 

Is your Kodi build from source or from the repo?   My Ubuntu client is 20.04 and I have used many older LTS versions and I also use CE 19 regularly so it is not a general issue.

All good Martin, I just figured-out what was wrong ... I had the wrong NextPVR addon installed (distro mismatch - forgot to check my repos list after doing the distribution upgrade from 18.04 to 21.04 and it got a bit messy)! Many thanks for your support Martin, much appreciated!
