Certainly in the code there are some http calls hardcoded and because of the nature of the web server you can add your own debug messages. If you upload your log we can have a look at it and maybe help pinpoint where the error is occurring.

Also if you stop the recording service you can run it in diagnostic mode with NRecord RUN and there will be more output to the console on what is being received. I redirect this to a file by piping the output to a file.

Hi,

I looked at the log file, and tried to go to the main page again (getting the error message) ... but nothing at all added to the log. Are web accesses / URLs not captured in the logs?

Thanks!

Not everything is logged as I mentioned sometimes you need console output.

Gotcha. OK, ran manually, console output. Here is what I see,
1) No proxy, internal LAN direct connect,

2) External, through Proxy, to root (http://mysite.com/nextpvr/) => Fails, error = The requested URL /Logon.aspx was not found on this server.

It seems like NextPVR is redirecting, but not taking into account the first part of the URL (i.e. it's missing the /nextpvr portion)? I have seen a similar issue with LibreNMS - having to set the base_url. Similar item here?

Thanks!

Your web server needs to recognize the login process from the ASP.Net framework....coming through the apache proxy may be causing that issue.

[arrmo]

Agreed - I think ... ;-). But in this case, the web server is internal to NextPVR, right? That's what I'm struggling with - trying to get this working. FYI, I have 3 other sites working with proxy, configured this one the same.

Thanks!

The only way i got this to work properly with my Nginx reverse proxy was to create a subdomain such as https://tv.myhousenet.com. i setup a password protection on the url in Nginx. This redirects to https://tv.myhousenet.com/modern/index.html

Ideally the developers need to add a configurable base url setting in the webapp for helping with proxying like this.

[arrmo]

I'll try the subdomain, let you know. Thanks!

Also agreed - a base url setting would likely take care of it (this is working in LibreNMS for me).

[arrmo]

Hmmm ... tried the subdomain, but having certificate errors / issues. I don't think the web interface supports https, does it?

Thanks!
