Failed to start requested stream

[satforall]

Installed NPVR on Ubuntu 22.04 recently as per these instructions recently. Everything was working fine.

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

Noticed an update available and used these instructions. Now I'm getting "Failed to start requested stream

sudo dpkg -i nextpvr-helper.deb

Seems you accidentally enabled VAAPI it doesn't seem to work on you computer

2023-05-03 22:25:56.813 [DEBUG][32] [FFMPEG]: Failed to set value '/dev/dri/renderD128' for option 'vaapi_device': Invalid argument

Steaming to Kodi looked ok, but you didn't send Kodi debug logs.

That did the trick.Thanks. Somehow VAAPI became enabled during the upgrade process.

I didn't realise NPVR could run under Linux. I've been using TVHeadend for years but unfortunately that project seems to have died off. Very little activity these days. It is useful for generating EPG xml files so I'll leave it active and feeding info to NPVR.

Now that I'm running NPVR I'll have loads of questions to follow. One general question. Is there any plans to migrate NPVR to Net Core

[mvallevand]

It is already netcore 6. Do you mean NextPVR.exe? It would be impossible, but the multi platform versions with the same UI are called UI clients.

You might not need TVHeadend, NextPVR has OTA EPG support and the latest version NextPVR can generate an XMLTV file for donators. The export has a bug that sub has already fixed so patch should be out soon.
