No matter what I do, I cannot get Plex to see tvhproxy (this docker version) I can get it to work on an Ubuntu VM running tvhproxy though..

 

 

 

Only difference I can see there is that you have a password on tvhe. No idea if it makes a difference though.

I have tried with and without password it just makes no difference.  I have tried on and off at least a dozen times over the last few months can never get it to work!  it seems that Plex cannot even see TVHProxy so don't think it has even got as far as checking the TVHProxy connection to TVHeadend?

You're certain nothing else has grabbed that IP? No firewall/security that would block it?

I have tried 4/5 different IP's

I'm using binhex-plexpass. Maybe that's the difference? 

I am loathed to change my Plex Docker due to the amount of time/work involved in doing that! maybe someone else can confirm if TVHProxy works on linuxserver Plex Docker?

 

Cheers for your time so far mate!

I never saw a working docker which doesnt display any network infos, but anyway, i tried it again.

I get JUST in the logs

Error grabbing logs: EOF
 

 

Edited May 14, 20188 yr by nuhll

What did you enter in plex? 

 

IP

 

IP:PORT

of tvhproxy?!

 

i Tried both, if i manually access IP:PORT i get the error above, if i enter it in plex, nothing happens, besides plex tells me that it cant connect..

Do you have plex in br0 mode?

Doesn't take that long to change a docker provider.  If it's pointing at the same appdata folder it normally only takes about 10 minutes (unless I've been lucky in the past).

Okay, it might have something to do with security build into dockers.

 

Im not sure tho.

 

It might be the case that bridged containers cant reach each other.

 

So i put plex, tvheadend and tvhproxy on a br0 adress. 

 

Finally no errors in logs, but it still just show up in plex, i click next it shows one transmitter "VOX" and then, it switches back to an old USB device and say it cant search for numbers.

 

BTW after EVERY test it seems you NEED to restart plex docker.

Okay, if im fast enaught i can select hte proxy, and see all channels, but if i click next im back to that old usb and the proxy is dissapeared... wtf?

 

DO i need to wait until tvheadend is finished with epg grabbing?

IP:Port. Plex, tvhe and tvhProxy all need to be in br0 mode.

In setup it may tell you the proxy is not found, but it's still there and works. Mine shows:

but it is working. EPG comes from Plex not tvhe.

I found a working proxy, without any problems so far:

 

just search in apps in dockers for plexheadend

Not for me?

 

 

You need to enable Dockerhub searching in CA Settings:

 

Then when search finds nothing hit the Dockerhub link:

Wow! nice little hidden nugget! thank you for that!

 

Any idea why I do not get the option to enter TVH details? I am on advance view

 

 

I must say, it had worked perfectly for 7 channels (and i could watch them), but now, even with new container, i cant again... its crazy

 

it seems plex is just a piece of sh1t.

If u add somethin gmanually it says like "oh i already know that device its down" Oo WTF!

 

Does anyone know how to delete old "devices" (ip:ports) from plex?

(at this stage i tried to add a 192.168.0.101 as tvh proxy - its so crazy)

Ive got it working. But i didnt changed anything. First try, new day, working...  I dont know. Seems like crap.

Certainly it has a lot of pauses and spinning circles on live TV, not a great solution.
