What is a decoder, which ones do I need, and where do I get them?
A combination of audio decoders and video decoders are required for you to watch live tv and recordings. In simplistic terms, decoders take compressed audio/video frames, and decompresses them into audio samples for sending to the speakers, or video frames for displaying on the screen.
NextPVR is a non-commerical application, and ships without any decoders installed, since these would cost $$$ for me to legally license and distribute. Instead, NextPVR will make use of decoders you already have on your system. Some of these are supplied with Windows, some come from other applications you have installed, some are downloaded from Internet sources.
Below is info on what decoders you need and recommendations, the TL;DR answer: install the LAV decoders from HERE, then go to the Settings->Decoders screen, and set everything to the LAV decoders
It depends on the country you're in, the television system you're using, and sometimes the device you use. If you don't have a decoder you require, NextPVR will tell you what type of decoder it's missing. Here are some example decoder requirements for common user groups:
The Women by Julian series was known for stripping away the glossy veneer of adult performers, focusing instead on their psychology, ambitions, and daily realities. In the 2017 sit-down, Bree Daniels discussed:
The interview’s tone was notably raw. When asked about longevity in the industry, Daniels replied: “I don’t want to be doing this same thing at 35 unless I own every part of it.”
2021 was a transitional year for Bree:
Thus, the claimed “2021 interview” is atypical — no major outlet published it.

By 2021, Bree Daniels (born 1989, Vancouver) had already transitioned from high-profile adult film work (starting around 2011) into a multi-hyphenate: director, writer, and public speaker. She famously retired from performing in 2016 but returned selectively to direct and advocate for performer rights.
Key 2021 positions:
In 2021, she was promoting her short film “The Object” (not an adult film) and a Substack newsletter called “Undressed Thoughts.”
Let’s break down the keyword piece by piece. The Women by Julian series was known for
Juliann: “Do you watch your 2011–2015 work?”
Bree: “Only to cry. Not from shame — from seeing how young I was, how the director framed me as ‘eager teen.’ I signed a contract, yes. But did I truly consent to being consumed that way forever? No. That’s the lie of liberal feminism: choice without structural power.” The interview’s tone was notably raw
NextPVR is a 32bit application so will only see 32bit decoders on the machine. It can't see 64bit decoders, so these will not be listed.
NextPVR's decoder settings only apply to Live TV, and the playback of .ts recordings. For playback of other file types, like .mkv/.mp4/.avi, it's left to Windows to decide what decoders etc are used during playback. Installing LAV from HERE will often resolve issues with playback of these other file types.
