What version of NextPVR are you running and did you follow the instructions on the wiki?

Version 5.2.7
I think i did. I hope I did. I unzipped everything to the c:\program files\nextpvr folder. Command line administrator privileges.
If you look at the first line above you can see the command I typed in.

What about the note to delete the two JSON files on Windows?

Also there are big fixes in the netcore 6 version so the 3.1 version s no longer supported.

Upgraded NextPVR and now NextTool worked fine.
Thank you for your help.

I'm running NextPVR v6 on Linux Deb 11.6 and I have not been able to get NextTool to work. NextTool for Windows running the .exe works fine for me. I followed the wiki instructions (NextTool files in /opt/nextpvr/system, symlinks created) but still get the error.

Here is the output I get.

Code:

/opt/nextpvr/system$ sudo -u nextpvr /opt/dotnet/dotnet /opt/nextpvr/system/NextTool.dll --import "/mnt/sda1/Recorded_TV/Thomas & Friends"
NEXTPVR_INSTALLDIR /opt/nextpvr/system/
NEXTPVR_DATADIR /opt/nextpvr/system/data/
NEXTPVR_DATADIR_USERDATA /var/opt/nextpvr/
Folder: Thomas & Friends
Unhandled exception. System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'MediaInfo.DotNetWrapper, Version=1.0.7.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'. The system cannot find the file specified.

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

Here is the NextTool.log contents...

Code:

[...startup]

It looks like it's trying to work because it is getting the folder location.

Any ideas?

Is that using NextTool from the wiki? I think sub removed that file in v6 and I had to change it.

Yes it's from the wiki, v2.2.1

MediaInfo.DotNetWrapper was not in the zip but it was there before I copied the NextTool files there.

[mvallevand]

That file shouldn't be in the zip because I don't use it in v6 and I only used the one that sub distributed with v5. v6 folders shouldn't have it as it should have been deleted with the deb installer.

Apparently NextTool requires it. 

When I renamed "MediaInfo.Wrapper.Core.dll" I got this error when running NextTool.

Code:

:/opt/nextpvr/system$ sudo -u nextpvr /opt/dotnet/dotnet /opt/nextpvr/system/NextTool.dll --import "/mnt/sda1/Recorded_TV/Thomas & Friends"
Error:
  An assembly specified in the application dependencies manifest (NextTool.deps.json) was not found:
