NextEnd v5 trial release

There are definitely others (like me) still using it! I honestly wish companies like Plex and Emby would work out a contract with you to set this up on a larger scale. It's a really awesome idea.

Thanks for updating for the Kraken!

I don't take credit for the idea, that was Slugger from SageTV, I just expanded it for non-sports use, created the app and pay $2.50 a month to host the VPS after he dropped his service. That's easier then running it for myself, like some SageTV users do. Because of the scraping I wouldn't be able to charge for the service even if I wanted to.

What really should happen is subscribers need to get on Schedules Direct's case and get them to fix their API. It broke when TMS moved major sport from SP to EP for their program identifiers. Plex and Emby still couldn't use it but all free software could

Just out of curiosity, is there a write-up anywhere on how to run it for ourselves, should I ever get in the mood to try it out?

[mvallevand]

Basically the old instructions I wrote for BrettB should still workd

1. Download jetty http://www.eclipse.org/jetty/download.html i used 9.2.18
2. create a jetty folder and unzip the contents into it

default is port 8080

run it as java -jar start.jar and test with a browser not much to see
http://localhost:8080

ctrl-c to exit server

java -jar start.jar

If you get that far I can send you the war file or you can build the file without the Kraken from github https://github.com/livepvrdata-oss/livepvrdata-svc

You would need to change the NextPVR scripts to point to

-uri http://localhost:8080

Martin:

I just installed NextEnd on my rebuilt Windows 10 NextPVR server. I think that I've got it all going now.

But I did notice in my log files an error in a NextEnd.log:

Code:

It's possible that this error came from the time while I was still getting it setup. But I also wondered if there is a problem with this particular game (especially since one of the team names has an apostrophe in it). So, I thought if you see this, you might want to try to take a look while that game is still available.

[mvallevand]

I don't see that game on the ESPN https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/ and NextEnd did monitor the two games they do have. That ugly stack trace is normal, that is how the original API works.

[VCR58]

For some reason the NCAA basketball game did not get extended.

Any idea what happened?

[mvallevand]

From the backend API perspective it isn't being reported as started so monitoring was stopped.

Code:

Baylor vs. TCU Halftime Michigan State vs. Illinois Halftime UConn vs. Xavier Halftime Texas vs. Texas Tech 7:42 - 1st Kentucky vs. Alabama 16:24 - 1st Florida vs. Auburn Start Delay Ohio State vs. Iowa Start Delay Arkansas vs. Tennessee Feb 19 16:00 ET Wyoming vs. Air Force Feb 19 16:00 ET UT Martin vs. Murray State Feb 19 16:30 ET Villanova vs. Georgetown Feb 19 17:00 ET Duke vs. Florida State Feb 19 18:00 ET West Virginia vs. Kansas Feb 19 20:00 ET Gonzaga vs. Santa Clara Feb 19 21:00 ET Arizona vs. Oregon Feb 19 22:00 ET UCLA vs. Washington Feb 19 22:00 ET

Interesting. The game started on time so don't know why the API said it was delayed.

Oh well. I didn't miss anything since I was watching essentially live.

Thanks.

[mvallevand]

I just restarted the SRE remote server with an update for the Cleveland Guardians for opening day. If anyone is still using this other than me let me know if you have problems.
