[x86-64] NextPVR Installation

    Hi all,

    I'm migrating from Kodi on Windows 11 to Libreelec, but I have almost zero experience with Linux.

    Been trying to setup a HTPC on x68-64 with a tv tuner but can't find how to get in to install the Nextpvr software. I've managed to install the backend from the repo but all I can do is access the channels from my existing windows HTPC which I'm wanting to replace?

    Any help for a bloke with the skills equivalent to a chimpanzee when it comes to linux? If there's a step-by-step tutorial available, directions to it would be great.

    You say you have the backend setup so I assume the web setup is finished and configured too. The fact that you are seeing your Windows instance to me means that the problem is that your client pvr.nextpvr settings are set to the IP of the Windows server. Change that in the addon setting. For LE on the same box you can use 127.0.0.1

    Note if the client you are using is the Windows client NextPVR.exe it will only connect to the local Windows backend.

    Further questions should be on the NextPVR forum.

    Thank you both, Vlouis and emveepee.

    Yes, I'll always take any opportunity to learn.

    However, I am still confused. All I have installed is the NextPVR addon from the Kodi repo. Do I not need to install the client software?

    I will try changing the IP setting and see what happens.

    Thanks again

    You don't need to install the client pvr.nextpvr on LE if you don't want to. If for example you are using the NextPVR web client to connect to the server you would need to use the LE IP and not the IP of your server or localhost.

    This is not an LE issue (or Linux for that matter) so you should post on the NextPVR forum.
