EPG Update via command line nscripthelper failing .net error

[spe109]

Hi,
I'm having a problem with the command line update, I think this has started since the last release, I have Version: 5.1.1.210329  installed.

Running
"C:\program files\nextpvr\nscripthelper.dll" -updateepg

Outputs this and nothing seems to be written to the logs...
Unhandled Exception: System.TypeLoadException: Could not load type 'System.Object' from assembly 'System.Private.CoreLib, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=7cec85d7bea7798e' because the parent does not exist.

Am I missing a particular version?

Running
"C:\program files\nextpvr\nscripthelper.dll" -updateepg

For the avoidance of doubt ... Are you running ...

dotnet "c:\program files\nextpvr\nscripthelper.dll" -updateepg

beginning with a dotnet command?  Thanks.

[spe109]

Sorry, in my script I do run dotnet "C:\program files...", in my testing I have been just attempting to run the arguments part from the dotnet command which I realise is now wrong.

However, when I run the full command I am now getting this error...
Could not resolve CoreCLR path. For more details, enable tracing by setting COREHOST_TRACE environment variable to 1

I have done what the error suggests and set the env variable. I'll just have a look through the output it produces, it is lengthy.
Thanks.

[spe109]

I've looked at the trace file and it showed up the following:-

Library Microsoft.Data.Sqlite/3.1.0 does not exist

Library Microsoft.NETCore.Platforms/3.1.0 does not exist

Library SQLitePCLRaw.lib.e_sqlite3/2.0.2 does not exist

Library System.Memory/4.5.3 does not exist



I wasn't sure were these come from and after a little messing around decided to rename the NScriptHelper.deps.json file. When I ran my command after this it all just worked and the EPG updated.



I notice in the release notes "Fixed issue with NScriptHelper.deps.json being missing", I don't know what this means, could this have broken my instance?



I've attached the lengthy output in case it is of any help in debugging.

Thanks

In 5.1.1 the instructions changed. First there is a NScripthelper.exe but it looks like it needs more work, since it is missing NScriptHelper.runtimeconfig.json

Use this information to create the NScriptHelper.runtimeconfig.json

Code:

{
  "runtimeOptions": {
    "tfm": "netcoreapp3.1",
    "framework": {
      "name": "Microsoft.NETCore.App",
      "version": "3.1.0"
    }
  }
}

Thank you.

Putting in that new file NScripthelper.runtimeconfig.json and restoring the original NScriptHelper.deps.json and the command line load worked fine
