Install Linux

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.

You can find more information about installing from the .deb file here, and updating when there is a new release, see here: https://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?tid=59576

Manual Installation

If you're running on a platform that doesn't support .deb files, or prefer to manually install it, the application can be installed using the following steps.

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

NextPVR needs a current .NET Core 2.2.x runtime to be installed. You can find download install information at: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-core/2.2

Other packages you'll probably need include:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install mediainfo
sudo apt install libc6
sudo apt install libgdiplus
sudo apt install ffmpeg

Extract the NPVR.zip to a directory like /home/graeme/NPVR

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"
