initial access NextPVR remotely - how?

[horstepipe 356]

hello

I just wanted to play around with Nextpvr. I set it up on a headless Linux server (Ubuntu 20.04). But now I'm a little stuck as I can't access the WebUI. When I enter admin/password in login screen it shows "remote access is not enabled".

For sure there's a workaround for this, but I can't fine anything about it via google. Could somebody help me out please?

okay that was a little tricky but I figured it out:
config.xml is at

/var/opt/nextpvr

there you need to change

<AllowRemoteAPI>true</AllowRemoteAPI>

and you have to edit the user name

 <Username>admin</Username>

That setting should only be necessary if your server is accessed on an internet IP which is not recommended if you use it with Emby.

I did not decide yet whether I use it with or without Emby but Nextpvr clients.

 

thanks
