New NextPVR client for Raspberry Pi 2 and 3.

[pBS]

i'm having trouble installing using 'lite' raspbian...says 'dependancies problems prevent configuration of nextpivr:
nextpivr depends on omxplayer however it is not installed..

it lists omxplayer, lirc, python-lirc, and libcec3 as not installed.

Aha!! Seems like you have to do sudo apt-get -f install to get dependancies BEFORE you do dpkg line...

[pBS]

now it has installed fine, but when i click server, i just get black screen...after i hit end, it pops back to ip screen...
any ideas?

[pBS]

hmmm,seems i have to do dpkg line, then apt-get -f install, then dpkg line again for it to not have problems with dependancies...?
still just black screen after hitting my server ip.
formatted another card and tried twice, same exact results..[on an RPI2]

hmm,maybe a newa problem? it wasn't working for browser.
i re-setup newa from scratch, now working in browser... still same black screen and forbidden in log..

Listing missing dependencies is correct behavior but a single sudo apt-get -f install AFTER should do the trick.
-Never mind you got it installed eventually.

Client is probably correct installed and working in a sense.
But, I have no idea why the requests are forbidden. The urls got a sid which suggests the client has connected with NPVR server and got a session.
If you have set a custom pin code in NPVR that may be the cause, but I can’t see how you would get a sid in that case.

Maybe sub or mvallevand can help us with this one from dealing with similar clients.

Isn't 192.123.1.129 a public Internet address range, rather than a LAN NAT address range (ie, normally it'd be 192.168.x.x)? If so, it's probably a case of needing to tick the 'allow remote access' tickbox.

[pBS]

i do have that box checked.. and as far as i know 192.123.x.x is local only,[unroutable] but i might be wrong on that..
hmm,i swear i remember reading that they were also reserved for private networking, has worked here for 10 years w no problems..on several routers.

seems it's owned by Kraft foods..
didnt really wanna change that cuz it's all throughout the network here..and this is the first thing that's complained so far..
is there anything hardcoded for 192.168.x.x?

interestingly, newa works fine from lan machine using name 'pvr2:8866' but guide and livetv screens don't work when using ip address [192.123.1.8:8866]...?

[mvallevand]

That is definitely not a private IP. You probably need to change the PIN from 0000 on public IP's too.

that may be it...probably why my newa on other machines has been so finicky..
i'll try a quick test to see, but i bet there's something in newa that is hardcoded to only allow 192.168.x.x for certain things..
and since it's not really an external public ip, the checkbox may not work right in this case.

Honestly, I think you're very lucky if this hasn't caused issues. You should think about changing it to one of the private IP address ranges.

is there anything hardcoded for 192.168.x.x?

No, but you will fail the checks that determine if you're on a private local network vs the public internet.

...and, when it's receiving requests from the public internet it expects the client to login, supplying pin number, and non-default 0000 etc. I'm not sure if Fred's new client does this login. If he'd only been expecting it to be used on the local network, it may not have code for doing this. That snippet of log shown above shows it attempting to use the API without logging in, so this may be your problem....

[pBS]

yep...i edited <autologinNetworks> in config-web.xml and now it lets lan machines access newa using ip address, but still no go on pi...
[edit] my mistake, browser cached it so no it didn't help editing config-web.xml [edit]
i do suspect that is the case..checks for public ip ranges stuffing it up..

i'll reset my ip range and test to see...have a feeling it'll solve things with this and the nlite program too..thanks
