NextEnd v5 trial release

[mvallevand]

That is why I wrote "prefix". The linux method of passing variables to a process is great but it can seem strange to Windows users. Glad it is working and this is probably preferable to copy the libe_sqlite.so file anyway for all users.

This one thing is holding me back from moving out of trial mode, I'd love to figure out a way to use NextEnd.deps.json to do this.

I decided to challenge myself and believe I have NextEnd working solely from the Plugins/NextEnd folder. I have updated post #1 with the new file and new instructions to this and also cover Docker.

I got it working without having to do the LD_LIBRARY_PATH change, but the runtime config has /apps/ instead of /app/.  Once I changed that and modified the sed instructions to replace with app instead of apps it worked fine.

Thanks for the correction, I've updated the zip and the instructions.

NextEnd seems to be starting up ok for me with the new files and without "libe_sqlite3.so" in the Nextpvr system folder on my Debian 10 PC.

Good work

I'm still not able to get Nextend to run from the program files. The get this error message from the log...

Code:

Looks like it still wants the .Net core to be installed and hostfxr.dll to be in the Plugins folder.

Nextend works fine with the files located in the program folder.

Did you modify runtime.json to adjust for sub's new location for NextPVR?

I did not.

Just now modified runtime.json and restarted the service but still get the same error.

How about NextEnd.deps.json, should that be modified as well?

[mvallevand]

Are you sure you modified it correctly? I just tried with no path and it works here.

I will have to try on a machine without dotnet though there my be things going on I don't understand in dotnet

 I think so. I attached it along with the scripts if you want to look at them.
