Scripts...

TheCompWiz · 2022-03-30, 02:03 PM

I've used NextPVR on Windows, but am at-heart a Linux guy. I trying to implement the "Scripts" in Linux, following the directions for Windows, but I'm either missing something, or the scripts for Linux need to be implemented or named differently. I tried creating a script called "PreStartup.sh" in /var/opt/nextpvr/scripts, but it seems to never be executed. Should I name them .bat? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

.sh is fine but it is possible you didn't chmod them as executable.

Hi Martin! I did make sure that the scripts were +x. I can run them manually, and they work perfectly. I just can't get NextPVR to run them.

What does ls -l /var/opt/nextpvr/scripts/PreStartup.sh show?

Also perhaps restart the service and upload the zipped log and we can see what is going on.

Ok that is the same as mine, so it probably is running and if we see the logs we might see a fail.

Looks like I get to eat some humble-pie. I had done it properly... but there was a path-error in my script. Fixed. Sorry to pester you Martin.

No problem, glad you sorted it out.
