NextPVR webserver not starting, prevents client from starting

[mvallevand]

I have no explanation either. I will try an old Chromebox I have to see but I think we need sub, the author of NextPVR needs to help explain where the servers could be failing processing the request.

It starts up fine on my older Chromebox.

What locale etc are you running?

This is the output of locale.

Code:

LivingRoom:~ # locale
LANG=C.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="C.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="C.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="C.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="C.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="C.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="C.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="C.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="C.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="C.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="C.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="C.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="C.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

And this is whats in "Settings > Interface > Regional"

Code:

Language - English
Character set - Default
Virtual keyboard layouts - English QWERTY
Region default format - Central Europe
Timezone country - France
Timezone - Europe/Paris
Short date format - Regional (03-03-2025 (DD-MM-YYYY))
Long date format - Regional (Monday, 3 February 2025 (DDDD, D MMMM YYYY))
Time format - Regional (19:57:26 (H:mm:ss))

No regional settings didn't change anything, sub will need to step in.

Alright, thanks for all the help Martin. Should I just wait here for sub or should I contact him somewhere?

You could possibly try setting an "ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT=Development" environment variable, then run the server manually, and see if you get a stack trace when attempting the curl command.

[mvallevand]

Here is the command line for that

Code:

ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT=Development NEXTPVR_DATADIR_USERDATA=/storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/service.nextpvr/config/  dotnet NextPVRServer.dll

Unfortunately when I set that I don't get any extra logging of what is going on He is not even getting that message last message so it is pretty early in the run.

Code:

Hosting environment: Development
Content root path: /storage/.kodi/addons/service.nextpvr/nextpvr-bin
Now listening on: http://[::]:8866
Application started. Press Ctrl+C to shut down.
[7] Got request [172.16.3.3]: /index.html

[sub]

Honestly, I'm not really sure what to suggest. There isn't much info to go on with what we've seen so far.

I do get more feedback on the remote with ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT=Development, hopefully this is what you would be looking for. No update on the server upon connection.

Code:
