v5 Error on starting Server?

[jksmurf]

Hi sub

OK took the v5 plunge, unzipped the entire zip file directly with 4,559 Files, 55 Folders to C:\Program Files (x86)\NextPVR (where all the files reside).

I did not put the binaries in a separate Directory anywhere (but was curious as to how the binaries would know where all those other files are).

Found NextPVRServer.exe ran as admin and got the attached?

Am I instruction-challenged?

Do you have NextPVR v4 on same machine? Both version use the same UDP port for their service locator (used by the iOS, AppleTV, and Android apps to locate NextPVR). If you're not using any of those you can safely ignore that service locator error.

Yes I do. OK, will ignore.

The next challenge is changing the port; I started NextPVR from the directory and got this error. I cannot get a (right-click Settings screen). There is no option for it? There is also no config.xml generated which I can change the port to 8867?

EDIT - Got a settings menu but see below.

I love it when I try new stuff because I know I am going to stress test it for you, so you can plug the holes dummies like me find in the system :-).

OK so trying twice I finally got a settings menu BUT

Clicking either Configure NextPvrServer OR Devices and Channels gives me the Browser Error below.
Trying to send you logs... but cannot do that either ??

I'm guessing the settings issue is due to the port - I see 8866 which is the old one; but as above no possibility (for me) to change it?

[EDIT] Tried to create a config.xml from Config-master-dont-edit.xml to change the Port but could not save the Config.xml. So saved it outside of the directory, changed port, saved it back again. Still not working?

That web browser error message is NextPVR v4, where you're asking it for a page that doesn't exist. I think that screenshot with the 500 internal server error is also because it's trying to talk to v4.

It's probably a pretty easy fix. Stop NextPVRServer.exe and NextPVR.exe. Edit c:\users\public\NPVR-data\config.xml to change <Port> from 8866, to something else like 8867. Then restart NextPVRServer.exe, and you should then be able to get to http://localhost:8867/index.html

Sub I'm confused - does this mean change the npvr config.xml ? because I don't have a c:\users\public\NPVR-data\config.xml I have a c:\users\public\NPVR\config.xml (NPVR4). NPVR5 was extracted to C:\Program Files (x86)\NextPVR and C:\Program Files (x86)\NextPVR\data doesn't contain a config.xml as noted above? As it's a zip extract there is no install process going on right?

OK so using Stop Server and Task manager I killed the NPVR4 Server and Tray Icon.

I then restarted the NPVR5 Server ([I noticed the Error in my 1st post was gone when I did this; This closing of NPVR4 Tray and stopping the NPVR4 Server should be in the Sticky for the install for same-machine installs]. I then found config.xml in C:\Users\Public\NPVR-data (which had now been created).

I then tied to go into the settings to configure the Server; but …. it still failed to find it? Logs still won't work so cannot send.
I checked the config.xml in C:\Users\Public\NPVR-data and it still has 8867 so that's stuck OK.

Any ideas?

You'd usually have c:\users\public\NPVR-data\config.xml.

What is the first page of output you get when you run NextPVRServer.exe?

After I stopped all the servers/Tray Icons and ran NextPVRServer.exe I found that Dir. See above for "what happened next …. "

Regarding being unable to get to http://localhost:8867/settings.html, zip and attach the C:\Users\Public\NPVR-data\logs directory.
