Install issue

[shspvr]

Hey Martin
I done
wget https://nextpvr.com/nextpvr-helper.deb
sudo apt install ./nextpvr-helper.deb

But I end with Version: 5.0.0.190710 (5.0.0.190803 is available for download) on Ubuntu 18.04

I also tried you other option

2. To update to a new beta version of nextpvr

sudo dpkg -i nextpvr-helper.deb

I will announce new versions of the deb in this thread

3. To uninstall the program files (except dotnet)

sudo apt remove nextpvr-helper

to remove the npvr.db3 database config files etc

sudo apt purge nextpvr-helper

and finally to remove any dependencies

sudo apt purge nextpvr-helper

But that no good what can't fig is why PoP _OS a few day ago with right one but not Ubuntu
Any in idea or change something ?.

First troubleshooting thing to do after install is run

service nextpvr-server status

and check any messages.

I suspect you are still running your original manual install of NextPVRServer. You need to kill and disable that and then run

sudo service nextpvr-server restart

Yes was true I did have the original manual install of NextPVRServer even know I del the both folder in home before

It might be more efficient if someone could use something like Anydesk?

If the old version is gone the restart should work. If not do the dpkg -i update to be safe.

Are you sure becuases the Manual Installation download is a diff size 30.3 MB (30,303,733 bytes) then what below even when I check the files across the two there diff dates

That does seem to be getting the wrong file I will check in an hour or so

Edit I see what happened, I passed sub the wrong file for testing yesterday but I missed his message that he uploaded it to his server which is why it wasn't announced. I will be posting the sha256 checksum in the future in announcements in the future to avoid issues.

Ok sound good

[mvallevand]

Ok sound good

It is updated now, sorry about the inconvenience and thanks for point this issue out. I suggest running

sudo apt remove nextpvr-helper to clear out the unnecessary files. You will also need to remove /tmp/NPVR.zip to get the new file.
