Hello... I've uninstalled channels DVR from my ubuntu 20.04 server because I was having problems with it. I wanted to reinstall the program and be able to start from scratch. However when I use the command:
curl -f -s https://getchannels.com/dvr/setup.sh | sh
it does nothing. I tried it with and without sudo.
Do you have any suggestions as to how I may be able to reinstall Channels DVR and why this is happening?
What problems are you having with it that you want to reinstall?
The problem I had was with this particular server reading the M3U files. It would read the HLS format but not the TS. Another Channels server I had read both but it was an older version of the software. I thought it would just be easier to uninstall the whole program and then reinstall it to see if that would work. I was able to uninstall it but now when I try to reinstall using the link you provide, it simply does nothing. curl is installed and it's the newest version. I'm guessing there must be some remnants from the original installation laying around that are causing a problem with the reinstall.
Usually you would run:
./channels-dvr/uninstall.sh
rm -rf channels-dvr
That is what I did.
Where else should I look for remnants of the program that would keep the installation script from running?
I'll give this a try right now
success!
That worked! I had to solve another problem because at first it didn't work. Your installation line gave me the feedback that the computer wasn't connecting properly to your server. Somehow my neplan .yaml had become corrupted. So I rebuilt that and tried it again and it was successful!
I appreciate your help!
Sounds like your machine wasn't able to access the internet, and that's probably also why the M3U stuff wasn't working before.
I think you're right! It was able to download, but it couldn't transmit and receive... just receive. So it couldn't send a request to an M3U site for the data. Anyway... it's solved now! Thanks for all your help!
