No Freesat EPG on new install

In bridge mode you also would need to set the environment variable HOST_IP to your actual host's IP

I'm afraid I didn't have any success with that, I did read that it was useful for older hdhomerun devices, but I'm using Sat-IP which I believe is a different protocol.

I experimented with this: (192.168.0.20 is the IP address of my Sat-IP server.)

Code:

    nextpvr:         container_name: nextpvr         networks:             nginx:         environment:             - TZ={TZ}             - HOST_OS=${HOST_OS}             - HOST_IP=192.168.0.20         volumes:             - ${CONFIG}/nextpvr-final:/config             - ${RECORDINGS}:/recordings             - ${RECORDINGS}/buffer:/buffer             - ${CONFIG}/nextpvr-final/custom.ini:/app/data/tuning/DVB-S/custom.ini         ports:             - 16891:16891/udp             - 8866:8866             - 8026:8026/udp         image: nextpvr/nextpvr_amd64:stable         restart: unless-stopped

and this: (192.168.0.1 is my docker host)

Code:

    nextpvr:         container_name: nextpvr         networks:             nginx:         environment:             - TZ={TZ}             - HOST_OS=${HOST_OS}             - HOST_IP=192.168.0.1         volumes:             - ${CONFIG}/nextpvr-final:/config             - ${RECORDINGS}:/recordings             - ${RECORDINGS}/buffer:/buffer             - ${CONFIG}/nextpvr-final/custom.ini:/app/data/tuning/DVB-S/custom.ini         ports:             - 16891:16891/udp             - 8866:8866             - 8026:8026/udp         image: nextpvr/nextpvr_amd64:stable         restart: unless-stopped

From my recollection it has something to do with multicast, when I looked into it for TVH, but as it works fine with host I never delved any further into it.

Neither of the examples above allowed me to start a stream.

And apologies to the original poster as I never intended this to get derailed into a docker image conversation!

Actually that's Ok. I run most apps on my server in docker (well podman now) so would be interested if you got it going. I would have thought if you use --net host it would work, that's how I run tvheadend and the Sat IP box is detected just fine.

I do try new versions of Next PVR, deleting the config each time, but so far I have had no luck with the EPG.

Hi Sim,

I've got it working perfectly using a container other than the EPG issue you've already described.  Haven't tried podman but I wouldn't anticipate any issues.  You're quite right, running with host networking works perfectly with the sat-ip server identified straight away.

In terms of EPG in the meantime, I'm going to trial schedules direct and looks at using xmltv as alternative possibilities.
