Thats the thing - there is no failed recordings - so no reason why. I have restarted the docker in case that would help - so likely have lost those container logs, but I will have a look. Thanks.

Hi, Today two recordings failed to start. Where can I find log files as to what may be the cause ? It has been pretty bullet proof in the recording department until today. The recordings were set in to be done - as I checked this morning, but they did not fire. Thanks,

Thankyou - Works great.

can you confirm this : config type : variable Name : RUN_OPTS key : --http_root (two dashes) value : /tvheadend

Im more than happy to do it the correct way....... I just don't understand much of the docker stuff so I take posts verbatim.

I saw the instructions to do it this way in this forum, cant remember who write the post, I can go back through the 35 pages if you laike. I think it was posted by saarg - but I could be wrong.....

Thanks alturismo - does that mean I just remove the " around the /tvheadend ? As I dont quite understand everything you said.

I found instructions in this post to make a change so I can use this behind nginx. I made the change like this as per a post here : root@Tower:/etc/services.d/tvheadend$ more run #!/usr/bin/with-contenv bash IFS=" " read -r -a RUN_ARRAY <<< "$RUN_OPTS" exec \ s6-setuidgid abc /usr/bin/tvheadend -C -c /config "${RUN_ARRAY[@]}" --http_root="/tvheadend" But when I restart the docker, nothing found on the normal url http://192.168.1.7:9981, or on what Iu assumed would be the new url http://192.168.1.7:9981/tvheadend I guess I am doing something wrong ?

I got a notification for an update to this docker today. I came here to find out what that may entail, if there are fixes/enhancements etc, or if there are any issues I need to be aware of. Is this the right place ? As I cant see any mention of it.

hopefully a simple request for you linuxy experts. I have the rclone custom script running to send CCTV footage of alerts to my gdrive. The script runs minimum 1 hour in user scripts - in which time the thief may have found my unraid system and nicked it too.... The 'custom' allows for a cron type input. What can I put in there for every 5 minutes ?

I am very interested in that - the best of both worlds. Nowhere else overseas does stuff start up to 20 minute later than advertised......

IceTV have a full remote service for 8 bucks, but you only need the guide data which is cheaper - save you 3 bucks a month....... I do agree though. But with all the TV shows in Aus starting and ending at random times and not when you expect - which changes on a daily basis, I am finding it liberating not having to FF to find the actual TV show I recorded as the FTA guide is working well. The wife has also commented on this, poress play, show starts. I lose the new/repeat flags from iceTV (and I assume FreeTV has them also), but I gain real start/end times. I'm thinking I will hence dump the IceTV guide. Let me know you you go with the freeTV stuff if you get that working. Im just keeping a closer eye on the upcoming recordings in TVH - which is easy with the remote app.

I put the vpn server on my router, rather than on the unraid server.

One more thing - When I tried freeepg a while back, channel 10 was just the same show repeated for 24 hours - a morning show. Something wrong with the xml data I guess. I could not figure it out - that is when I pulled the pin and went the paid for route with the IceTV guide data only - $4.95 / month. I used the fuyll., IceTV service many years ago with my beyonwiz recorders. Its a pity the remote record stuff does not work with the modern computer based PVR's we have these days or I would jump right back in with their full subscription. However, if you have a vpn back to your network (i reccomdn that - dont just open it up to the planet), then you can use the tvheadend iphone app and remote record etc that way.

Hi, I am also in Australia. I used iceTV for my xml guide data with nextPVR, but I am also new to dockers and could not figure it out to add - it is all too hard for me, I posted a few questions but even the answers were above my pay grade!. I am sort of starting to love the OTA guide again - at least my TV recordings start at the correct time now and end at the correct time. I was having to pad out 30 minutes extra due to the TV networks changing times all over the place. I just hope a l;ater version of tvheadend would allow a direct HTTP guide data feed like plex, emby and DVBLink , then no need for this grabber stuff.

Hi, Can I get some clarification on this. This will be to a new server with a new flash drive, new unraid installed with different email address, new drives and drive layout different to the other server - so when you mean 'restors flashdrive', I only want stuff relating to dockers/VM's restores to the flashdrive, nothing that relates to anything else 'unraidy'. I will be transfering the VM disk images tot he same share name as the source yes.

Im new to unraid, I have the trial on some old hardware while I got it all sorted / planned out etc. Got the dockers I want, the VM's I want, and stored my media and backups to it. It has been in test for the last 20 days and I have moved the emby media serving, tvheadend, sonarr, delugevpn and all VM's to it Im now ready to move this to my real machine - which is currently a windows 10 PC being used for all the above, reading data from a readynas. While I move all services to the the temp unraid server, I plan on pulling the 4 x 4TB drives from my current old readyNAS, putting those in the current Windows 10 machine (i7, 32Gb Ram) with its 1TB SSD for cache/vm's/dockers. I had been busy noting down all my shares, my docker settings and vm settings for a complete re-install/re-configure of it all, but I wonder if I can instead backup/restore the VM's and the dockers and 'port' them to the new server once it is setup ? So : Install 4 x 4TB drives and pre-clear in new i7 server Install 1TB Cache disk in the server Create Array of the above Create shares exactly the same name as the other temp system Sync all the data from the temp unraid server to the new I7 unraid server Instal all the plugins / dockers the same as the test/temp system Backup/transfer/restore the dockers/vm's. ***** My question relates to ***** above - can I use this backup/restore appdata plugin to do this ? The backups share I created has the folders appdatabackup, libvirtbackup and vmsettings. Can I copy those to the new server, then do a restore using the same tool on the new server ?

Iv just installed the docker for dvblink, got it all working, got my guide data but the recordings are going to the cache drive (this is unraid) rather that to the location set in the docker settings - host path 1 - /mnt/user/Recordings (container path /Recordings). Instead they are going to \appdata\DVBLink\data\RecordedTV. Can someone point me in the right direction here - Thanks. ****** Ignore this, i found it in the app - in All good.

I have now added the dvblink docker, and jeez - chalk and cheese from a setup / ease of use standpoint compare to TVHeadend. From docker install to adding 6 hdhr tuners, configuring my channels and even adding the xml iceTV guide - <20 minutes. I can see TVHeadend possibly wants to be all things to all people but really - you just want your tuners and recordings. The web TV Guide is also fine for me. Emby plugin seems to work, but no recordings as yet. They use the direct web url for the tvgide - same as emby and plex - which is so quick and easy. no grabbing stuff.loads. The wizard gude for the config - with drag and drop stuff - just easy as. Im not saying I am converting to this (it is outdated as there is a new version) and it has a cost - but as is the nature of the dockers, I can try out multiple solutions at the same time - or run them all side by side for review.

I am obviously too thick for this docker stuff. I don't know how to copy something to the 'host' /usr/bin - if I ssh into it as root, I can cd to that dir to there, but I cant seem to FTP anything to it - and isnt't that on the usb key for unraid - so may be lost in an update ? As IceTV is a paid for service - costing me $5 a month, it is in their best interest in getting this working. I have opened a support call with them and they are happy to postpone my guide subscription until whatever they need to do in the docker is done. Worst case, if the FTA guide is no good, I can just build a windows 10 VM on unraid and install just nextPVR on there - which I will do now as a backup solution anyway to test.

OK - I assumed that was the script I have to upload. Sorry to get you guys to drop feed me this stuff - which is obviously second nature to you all, but completely new to me. Im sure if I was to explain what I do for a living to you guys you would not get it as that is second nature to me also. So I add those two lines to the docker edit. Then how do I get this script to the container that is currently in the downloads on my windows PC.

Ah, That is a great help. never saw that in any googling. So - is this correct : Config type - Path Name - ? Anything I like here ? Container Path - /mnt/cache/appdata/tvheadend/ Host Path - /usr/bin/ Access mode - Read/Write. Then I assume (not sure exactly), that I can copy the script for iceTV to the /mnt/cache/appdata/tvheadend/ which I can do with my network shares to get the file there. Then I can run that docker command to run it and configure it ? docker exec -it -u abc tvheadend /usr/bin/for_you_to_fill_out --configure

I guess this stuff is all too hard for me, as I dont understand what 'add it as a mount' is.

ok - more googling, and from another location, I found I can issue this command to get into the docker container : docker exec -it tvheadend /bin/bash and in there, I can do a cd /usr/bin and then a ls tv* and I can see all these config grabber scripts. How do I upload my one to this set ? I believe that may be the final step for me as it seems straight forward from there.

hhhmmm - I am obviously just not getting this. The first post is thus - I have notes below each with my questions : Configuring XMLTV grabber To configure the XMLTV grabber, first check if your grabber is listed in Configuration --> Channel/EPG --> EPG Grabber Modules. If it's listed, you will have to configure the grabber before enabling. *** mine is not listed *** Find the path in the path field of your grabber. We will use the last part. It starts with tv_grab_. Add it after /usr/bin/ in the below command. There should be no space between Usr/bin/ and the part you added. docker exec -it -u abc tvheadend /usr/bin/for_you_to_fill_out --configure *** as mine is not listed, I dont think I can do this ? Now follow the onscreen progress. If you get asked about cache, just accept the default. After you have configured your grabber, you can go back and enable your grabber. If you allready have a configuration file, you can add it in the .xmltv folder where you mapped the /config volume. If it's not created, create it. *** I dont know what a configuration file is - I have downloaded a 'grabber' script from iceTV called tv_grab_au_icetv, and thier instructions suggest I would do something like this - docker exec -it -u abc tvheadend /usr/bin/tv_grab_au_icetv --configure......... But I still have no idea where / how to add this script.
