As mentioned, this 5.0.1 release moves to the current .NET Core 3.1 runtime, instead of the older .NET Core 2.2 runtime we were using previously.

• For Windows and Mac users, the runtime is bundled in the zip file, so you don't need to do any. Just unzip the updated NPVR.zip as you have in the past.
  
• For Linux users, who installed using the .deb file, you must download the updated .deb file (which will make sure the .NET Core 3.1 runtime is installed etc). For more information, see https://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.ph...pid=531021. 
  
• For Linux users, who manually installed NextPVR, you'll need to install the .NET Core 3.1 runtime from https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-core/3.1.
