NextEnd v5 trial release

[VCR58]

...I don't think using a local copy will buy you much reliability.

I agree. 

I gave up trying to get it running locally. Much easier to use Martin's

You might as well for the NextPVR v6 Docker image since it should be easier to install permanently. 

Interesting! I hadn't kept up, how far away is the v6 Docker image? 

For now I'm only planning to set up the NextEnd client inside of the NPVR docker. I don't plan to try setting up a NextEnd server w/Jetty. Especially after VCR58's agreement with you, once he gave it a test run.

My docker is not on ARM, it's x86 (technically x64). So it's worth waiting for the v6 release to set up the NextEnd client? I could definitely do so.

Installation is the issue, currently you would need to open a bash shell and then unzip inside the Docker and you have to do this after every Docker update. With the next version I am hoping that you can install to what Docker sees as /config. I won't be fully documenting or testing Docker installs though.

I don't know sub's plans for the v6 release.

It should be in the next 2 - 3 weeks.

Thank you both! I'll watch for the release.

I have updated the server for NextEnd with a new version that changes the MLB processing to a newer API that MLB.com was recommending. Let me know if you have issues.

I also updated Washingto to the Washington Commanders and made some other tweaks for some sports team name.

Looks like it had problems with the MLB Cubs game today.

Looking at the log, I think I just had to restart the server, but this is a double header too and I've never tested that. If you have a chance could you stop and start the recording if you can tell when there is a commercial or schedule the second game.

Martin

[VCR58]

Thanks.

Nextend started monitoring normally after restarting the recording.

It is a doubleheader tonight but game 2 doesn't start until 7:00PM so it will just be a separate recording.

Good, thanks for checking.

The double header condition I am not sure of is what happens if the first game is still going when the pre-padding for game two starts. When game one ends, I think they both stop.
