Web interface, can't select country or region

[geojonesiv]

I've installed NextPVR 5.01 on two different Raspberry Pi's (a 3b and a 4), no errors or issues installing.  My WinTV-dualHD shows up under Settings/Devices.  But there is only a short list of "Scan Digital Channels" country/regions and I can't figure out how to select my area, which is US AZ Phoenix.

The list just seems to need to be updated somehow.  Here is my complete list:


us-PA-Philadelphia
ca-ON-Toronto
us-ATSC-center-frequencies-8VSB
us-ATSC-center-frequencies-8VSB-062009
us-CA-Mountain-View
us-CA-San-Jose
us-CA-SF-Bay-Area
us-CO-Denver
us-ID-Boise
us-MA-Boston
us-MI-Lansing
us-NTSC-center-frequencies
us-PA-Philadelphia

I'm sure I'm missing something easy as I can't find any info on this anywhere....  Thanks for any help.

You should use the generic one with current active ATSC frequencies. Yes it is a cryptic name but this is linux...

us-ATSC-center-frequencies-8VSB-062009

Ah, great. I'll try that, as soon as I get the web interface running again. I can't seem to find Apache or HTTPD on my system. I used these command to install NextPVR with no issues:

curl https://nextpvr.com/nextpvr-helper.deb -O
sudo apt install ./nextpvr-helper.deb --install-recommends

And the web interface came on and worked fine, but after rebooting I can't get to it and I don't seem to have a web server that I can find....

You don't need any server NextPVR's is built in. Check these command https://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.ph...#pid524821 and do a restart.

After that upload your logs from the main setting screen we might see why your server failed, I'm guessing it is related to this problem after power up https://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?tid=60105

With NextPVR running, you can view the interface at http://127.0.0.1:8866 in your browser

The status command resulted in the below. I stopped and started it and its running now. I also got the logs, there are a bunch of files. Do you want me to copy and paste them in here?

That's the startup error I expected based on the linked thread as I posted there sub needs to trap it but you need to add a startup delay too.

The restart should work until the next power off.

I tried to scan both of the ATSC selections, neither finds anything.  I get good reception with my TV and this same antenna which is right next to the computer so I'm not sure what is going on there.  You asked for the logs, see attached.

Thanks.

Does the device find channels with dvbv5-scan?

[geojonesiv]

Sorry, I don't know how to use the dvbv5-scan tool. It just dumps all the options on the screen.

BTW: Thanks for the amazing support!
