[Support] urlxl - HDHomeRun DVR [20210501beta1]


Recommended Posts

I do not have any issues with my docker and the dvr is working fine.  I have updated the docker recently, and still everything is working.  I'm running the latest docker.

 

unraid 6.6.7

However, if I go to the docker and then the hdhomerun WebUI, I see a message at the top that says No DVR detected.  That is just a advertisement to purchase their dvr service.

I just confirmed that shows are recording to my unraid / hdhomerun docker with no issues.

 

Let me know if there is something you want me to check, as it does seem that you are the only one reporting this missing dvr issue.

@Switchblade I'm traveling for work right now so can't post up screenshots. But the thing you can an "advertisement" for the DVR service is there because Silicon Dust can't detect your DVR due to the change in the docker. If it was detected, you'd have the version number listed of your DVR. I've emailed S.D. about the issue and they aren't able to detect my DVR service/subscription due to the change in the docker. 

 

I think if you were to delete a recording rule and/or try to record something you're watching live TV , you'll notice the record bottom is missing off the GUI of the official HDHomerun App.  

 

And the user "Italy#####" also mentioned he is having an issue and had to roll back his docker.  So I'm not the only user with the problem. I tend to think you also have an issue but just don't realize it....?

OK, I just reverted the change.

Let me know if that seems to fix things, then we can look at the update in a week or two

Just got back from Traveling for work before I head off to Paris tomorrow for more work.  Pulled down your update.  Navigated to my.hdhomerun.com it now shows an active DVR subscription with Version 20190417!

 

Thanks!

I think the problem was the addition of StorageID to hdhomerun.conf.  It needs to match the ID of the existing record engine.  In my setup, the record engine adds the StorageID automatically to /etc/hdhomerun.conf since it's a writable file.  Ideally, hdhomerun.conf should be moved to an external directory (e.g., /hdhomerun/hdhomerun.conf) and added as an argument to hdhomerun_record_x64 (e.g., /opt/hdhomerun/hdhomerun_record_x64 --conf=/hdhomerun/hdhomerun.conf).

I'm having this exact issue now and are unable to record anything. I can see a file being written to the Live folder when watching Live TV but nothing will program. Is there anything I need to do to fix this? Thanks

Silicondust pushed out a firmware update to the DVR record engine last week I believe.  Until the OP updates his docker with the new firmware, I think that's the issue currently.

I just forked and updated the DVR if anyone is interested.

 

You can update it by changing the repository path to: 

 

eatemalive/hdhomerun-dvr:latest

 

Or if starting from scratch make sure you select host networking and create the /hdhomerun path.

Just changed to your repo.  So far everything appears to be in working order.  My.hdhomerun.com is reporting that the DVR is currently using Version 20190715beta1

 

Hopefully it records now ;)

 

Thanks for stepping up.

Just tried it and got "The command failed." when applying it

I just removed mine and re added without issue.

 

Try going through community applications fresh install. You don't loose anything.

 

my setup looks like this:

OK, Trying to update again.

I'm push out 20190815beta1, let me know if it breaks things.

 

Just switched back to your repo.  my.hdhomerun.com reports I'm using Version 20190417 with a big red X next to it.

 

Somehow I also lost the ports switching repos.... anyone know what the ports were?

Hey all, I am trying to run this docker on my Unraid system, and I get a couple of errors. The first is that the docker log shows this:

 

2019-09-25 17:46:42,310 INFO spawned: 'hdhomerun_dvr' with pid 8
HDHomeRun RECORD started
2019-09-25 17:46:42,335 INFO exited: hdhomerun_dvr (exit status 0; not expected)

2019-09-25 17:46:50,195 INFO gave up: hdhomerun_dvr entered FATAL state, too many start retries too quickly

I believe from reading in here that this is just some Docker oddness, as the DVr does seem to be running and linking to the Silicondust online system.

 

The DVR does seem to be recording, but when I try and play back a recording, I get a blank screen. Poking into Syslog reveals that there are repeated errors:

 

Sep 25 17:14:05 Norbert nginx: 2019/09/25 17:14:05 [error] 4291#4291: *228717 connect() to unix:/var/tmp/hdhomerundvr.sock failed (111: Connection refused) while connecting to upstream, client: 192.168.1.216, server: , request: "GET /dockerterminal/hdhomerundvr/ws HTTP/1.1", upstream: "http://unix:/var/tmp/hdhomerundvr.sock:/ws", host: "192.168.1.103"

192.168.1.216 is the client, an iPad. 192.168.1.103 is Norbert, the Unraid system. 

 

Any ideas on that? The Docker is set to host mode.

Updated Record to 20200121beta1

Firmware update needed

 

I'm very thankful that you are still maintaining this.  My pleas to SiliconDust for them to publish their own official docker repeatedly gets ignored.  If not for you, we'd all be S.O.L.

My setup was working fine for a very long time.  However, while the config and docker all look good, and the app even says my dvr is ready to record, it does not record.

 

I did get a firmware update a couple of days ago, so maybe that is it.  I see in above post that there is updated repository, so I will try that.

 

Is the correct one still eatemalive/hdhomerun-dvr:latest  ?
