Clean install - LibreElec, Need NextPVR Backend

[ElJefe]

FYI. I uninstalled and reinstalled using your updated version and I still had to switch those lines to executable.

Is there an ETA of when an updated version that will scan all the channels be made available?

What do you get with

grep NPVR /storage/.kodi/addons/service.nextpvr/bin/nextpvr-downloader

The release will depend on sub's schedule there are a few other things being looked at.  Does this work for you replace nextpvr-bin/DeviceHost/arm64/DeviceHostLinux and chmod +x

That's just my build of the library.

Hopefully we'll get a new release out with it this weekend coming.

Here's the output:
KODI:~ # grep NPVR /storage/.kodi/addons/service.nextpvr/bin/nextpvr-downloader
NEXTPVR_FILE="NPVR-0.0invalid.zip"

Does this work for you replace nextpvr-bin/DeviceHost/arm64/DeviceHostLinux and chmod +x

What do you want me to do with that file? If you're asking if this line of code works:

find nextpvr-bin/DeviceHost -name DeviceHostLinux -exec chmod +x {} \;

Yes it does. I had to run it manually however.

Hopefully we'll get a new release out with it this weekend coming.

Excellent!

That's the old zip file, that was the problem. The package is created by a LE script and I originally gave you one were the build failed.

Unzip that file and replace in DeviceHost/x64

If that doesn't work sub has a custom version of the library mine is stock.

ok.  I replaced the file and modded it for execute.

What do I need to do next?

[mvallevand]

First restart the server and rescan. The library doesn't need +x

Rescans on merged tuners in NextPVR are a royal pain you need to scan on adapter0 and see if the new channels show up. Then delete the tuner1 channels with trash can (holding ctrl it will show up) and when you open it again the channels should be copied.

If you are using the standard v6 DeviceHostLinux has a bug so you will have to copy the new one.

cp /storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/service.nextpvr/config/adapter0-ATSC.conf /storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/service.nextpvr/config/adapter1-ATSC.conf

Oh okay. I see. We're fixing the tuner bug. I thought for some reason we were fixing the installer switching the adapters to execute. Anyway, I'm still only getting the first two channels.

Also, this is the first time seeing the pull down for what seems like regional specific scans. Is that the case? How would I know which one I am? I figure since I'm not in one of the specific locales and am looking for ATSC channels, either of the us-ATSC-center-frequencies-8VSB options should work, correct?

[mvallevand]

I don't know there installer issues but there is nothing to fix. With the line you showed me you weren't running the correct package. I checked it again so you either have a brower cache issue or you didn't copy the right version to the share, or it is working now.

Regarding not having a scan file that would mean you didn't read or understand the wiki page I linked in post #2 "Download and install Scan-Tables. This option is required for users of digital tuning devices connected via USB or PCI"

You would scan using us-ATSC-center-frequencies-8VSB-0720 since that restricts it to the current standard channels 2-26

I apologize.

I went back and was able to reinstall the correct package:
KODI:~ # grep NPVR /storage/.kodi/addons/service.nextpvr/bin/nextpvr-downloader
NEXTPVR_FILE="NPVR-6.0.0.zip"

And the tuner devices were recognized without having to change those files to executable and showed up in the web interface.

And I suppose I wasn't clear. On my previous windows setup, I just scanned for channels. I don't recall ever having to pick a scan table, but I may have been using an older version too. That is all I meant. But they are populated now on my LibreELEC machine and can pick the appropriate table. I didn't make the connection that the pull down menu was feeding me the scan tables. That is clear now.

I also replaced the library that you gave me in 4test.zip. I presume this file to test if I could scan more than the first channel. Alas, I cannot.

Don't feel the need to respond unless this is productive. Again, i apologize. I can just wait for an update. Thanks for all your help.
