NextEnd v5 trial release

[jcole998]

Thanks, Martin. Mystery solved...previous links you sent me were broken when the forum changed.

[mvallevand]

The trick is to use the old broken link ie https://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.ph...post521572 and then find the text in the link LivePvrData and use that in a forum title search.

Good tip, thanks.

I recorded a College Football game today and NextEnd didn't seem to start. I suspect UCF at Georgia Tech wasn't a monitored game.

To test NextEnd I began recording the Chicago White Sox at Cincinnati Reds

I see the following error in my nrecord.log and no nextend.log

starting: bash -c "'/var/opt/nextpvr/scripts/ParallelProcessing.sh' '/Data/RecordedTV/MLB Baseball/MLB Baseball_20200919_16001900.ts' 40.1 1260 25 'MLB Baseball'"

I think I found a problem. When I run

Code:

/opt/dotnet/dotnet /var/opt/nextpvr/Plugins/NextEnd/NextEnd.dll --monitor --cancel

The response is

Code:

NEXTPVR_INSTALLDIR /opt/nextpvr/system/
NEXTPVR_DATADIR /opt/nextpvr/system/data/
NEXTPVR_DATADIR_USERDATA /home/craig/.NPVR-data/

I'm not sure how or why but NEXTPVR-DATADIR_UESRDATA /home.craig/.NPVR-data/ shows up. This is how it was on my non-Debian install but this is a clean Mint install

All of those paths gets set when you run the service. Try

Code:

sudo  NEXTPVR_DATADIR_USERDATA=/var/opt/nextpvr/ /opt/dotnet/dotnet /var/opt/nextpvr/Plugins/NextEnd/NextEnd.dll --monitor --cancel
NEXTPVR_INSTALLDIR /opt/nextpvr/system/
NEXTPVR_DATADIR /opt/nextpvr/system/data/

I ran

Code:

sudo  NEXTPVR_DATADIR_USERDATA=/var/opt/nextpvr/ /opt/dotnet/dotnet /var/opt/nextpvr/Plugins/NextEnd/NextEnd.dll --monitor --cancel

That seems to have fixed it in that I now have nextend..log files. However, when I run the follow command it still indicates NEXTPVR_DATADIR_USERDATA /home/craig/.NPVR-data/

Code:

craig@server:/var/opt/nextpvr/logs$ /opt/dotnet/dotnet /var/opt/nextpvr/Plugins/NextEnd/NextEnd.dll --monitor --cancel
NEXTPVR_INSTALLDIR /opt/nextpvr/system/
NEXTPVR_DATADIR /opt/nextpvr/system/data/
NEXTPVR_DATADIR_USERDATA /home/craig/.NPVR-data/
Unhandled exception. System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path '/home/craig/.NPVR-data/Plugins/NextEnd'.

   at NextEnd.Program.Main(String[] args)

I'm happy NextEnd is working but this just seems odd to me.

You didn't run the command that I posted, it is one line.

Martin,

Sorry I was a little slow understanding "All of those paths gets set when you run the service." I understand it now.

However, I still think there is something amiss. I did this before my first post. I kept getting an error when running the command below. Bear with me I now know the service path would be wrong.

Code:

craig@server:/var/opt/nextpvr/Plugins/NextEnd$  /opt/dotnet/dotnet /var/opt/nextpvr/Plugins/NextEnd/NextEnd.dll --monitor --cancel
Error:
  An assembly specified in the application dependencies manifest (NextEnd.deps.json) was not found:
    package: 'Microsoft.Win32.SystemEvents.Reference', version: '4.0.2.0'
    path: 'Microsoft.Win32.SystemEvents.dll'

 
Also note with the proper command I get the same error

Code:

craig@server:/var/opt/nextpvr/Plugins/NextEnd$ sudo  NEXTPVR_DATADIR_USERDATA=/var/opt/nextpvr/ /opt/dotnet/dotnet /var/opt/nextpvr/Plugins/NextEnd/NextEnd.dll --monitor --cancel
Error:
  An assembly specified in the application dependencies manifest (NextEnd.deps.json) was not found:
    package: 'Microsoft.Win32.SystemEvents.Reference', version: '4.0.2.0'
    path: 'Microsoft.Win32.SystemEvents.dll'

I did a a find as below

Code:

craig@server:/var/opt/nextpvr/Plugins/NextEnd$ sudo find / -name Microsoft.Win32.SystemEvents.dll
find: ‘/run/user/1000/gvfs’: Permission denied
/opt/dotnet/shared/Microsoft.AspNetCore.App/3.1.8/Microsoft.Win32.SystemEvents.dll

Looking in NextEnd.deps.json this file is expected to be in /opt/nextpvr/system and it isn't there.
I'm sure there are many ways to fix the problem but being as I'm not that experienced I simply copied

Code:

sudo cp /opt/dotnet/shared/Microsoft.AspNetCore.App/3.1.8/Microsoft.Win32.SystemEvents.dll /var/opt/nextpvr/Plugins/NextEnd/.

After copying the file into the NextEnd directory and running the proper command it works

Code:

craig@server:/var/opt/nextpvr/Plugins/NextEnd$ sudo  NEXTPVR_DATADIR_USERDATA=/var/opt/nextpvr/ /opt/dotnet/dotnet /var/opt/nextpvr/Plugins/NextEnd/NextEnd.dll --monitor --cancel
NEXTPVR_INSTALLDIR /opt/nextpvr/system/
NEXTPVR_DATADIR /opt/nextpvr/system/data/
NEXTPVR_DATADIR_USERDATA /var/opt/nextpvr/
