You don’t need to install this add-on, it’s already installed.

sudo apt policy kodi-pvr-nextpvr

Why are you trying to install a Debian version? It is already installed on your system and just needs to be enabled under Add-ons.

Are you referring to the nextpvr CLIENT?
Yes, that is INSTALLED, I’m trying to INSTALL nextpvr SERVER!

Last time I looked nextpvr server was Windows only. I see they have a version for linux x86 now but I can’t see a version for ARM.

There is an ARM version for Docker, but I don’t think a standalone ARM version is available. If the OP really wants to run the NextPVR server on the Vero V, running it via Docker might be the only reasonable choice:

You might be able to follow these instructions:

Since it’s using the dotNet framework, I think as long as you get all the prerequisites installed for the right platform then NextPVR will run, so even though those are “Linux” instructions, it should work for OSMC.

Better method:

Seems to work very well

And there’s also this LibreElec · sub3/NextPVR Wiki · GitHub but if you’ve got it working, congrats!
