Install Information

[sub]

On Linux NextPVR supports IPTV, HDHomeRun, digital tuners (DVB-T, DVB-C, DVB-S, ATSC and QAM), and SAT>IP tuner (DVB-S, DVB-C, DVB-T).

Installation from .deb file
The easiest way to install NextPVR is using the .deb file (thanks Martin for creating it!).

curl https://nextpvr.com/nextpvr-helper.deb -O
sudo apt install ./nextpvr-helper.deb --install-recommends

Give it a half a minute or so to start, then you should be able to open http://127.0.0.1:8866 in your browser to setup NextPVR. The default login is admin/password.

You can find more information about installing from the .deb file here, and updating when there is a new release, see here:

If you're running on a platform that doesn't support .deb files, the application can be manually installed.

Manual Installation
The latest files can be downloaded from
http://nextpvr.com/stable/linux/NPVR.zip

Installing the Pre-Requisites
NextPVR needs a current .NET Core 3.1 runtime to be installed. You can find download install information at: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-core/3.1

Other packages you'll probably need include:

Code:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install mediainfo
sudo apt install libmediainfo-dev
sudo apt install libc6
sudo apt install libgdiplus
sudo apt install ffmpeg

Installing and running NextPVR
extract the NPVR.zip to a directory like /home/graeme/NPVR

Code:

cd NPVR
find . -name DeviceHostLinux -exec chmod 755 {} \;
dotnet ./NextPVRServer.dll

If you'd trying to use an older legacy HDHomeRun on Linux, then you'll also need "sudo apt install hdhomerun-config"
