missing MediaInfo.Wrapper.Core on NextTool execution

[spagio]

I recently updated NextPVR to 7.0.0.241105 using the upgrade procedure

I then updated the NextTool using its install procedure (including the symbolic links steps).

I tried to execute a NextTool command: `/opt/dotnet/dotnet /opt/nextpvr/system/NextTool.dll --file ...`

I got a missing assembly error:

Code:

Error:
  An assembly specified in the application dependencies manifest (NextTool.deps.json) was not found:
    package: 'MediaInfo.Wrapper.Core', version: 'MediaInfo.Wrapper.Core'
    path: 'MediaInfo.Wrapper.Core.dll'

the file does not exist in /opt/nextpvr/system, however the file does exist in  /opt/nextpvr/system.bak

Did I miss a step?

thanks,
John

Oops it seems I didn't update the top download info on the NextTool page. Did you get 2.5 from the bottom link?

Oh that makes sense now.  The link I used was in the "Where to get NextTool" section which downloads 2.2.1.  Should I use the link for 2.5 in the Change History?

Yes you need 2.5 but I fixed the web page so it doesn't matter anymore.

well i did that and got a new error:

Code:

Error:
  An assembly specified in the application dependencies manifest (NextTool.deps.json) was not found:
    package: 'Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.Abstractions', version: 'Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.Abstractions'
    path: 'Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.Abstractions.dll'

so i removed the reference for Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.Abstractions in the json file thinking that would solve the problem, and the got a dotnet core error

Code:

Unhandled exception. System.IO.FileLoadException: Could not load file or assembly 'System.Runtime, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (0x80131040)
File name: 'System.Runtime, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'

it looks like my system already has .NET core 8.0 installed

Code:

$ sudo apt-get install -y dotnet-runtime-8.0

Here are the runtimes I do have

Could you try this and see if it helps.  I removed Newtonsoft from the project but it seems sub used it in his own build of the MediaInfoWrapper but I still not sure why the same files work on my main server.

well that zip seemed to work.  everything ran successfully.  Thanks Martin

Ok thanks for checking I will place it on the web. I've had to build and rebuild this so many times over the last year, but can't understand why some machines work here and some don't.
