Accessing a HDHomerun over a VPN

[madas]

Any thoughts about how to access the video feed on a HDHomerun over a VPN? The modern devices will do the transcoding on the fly so we have ample bandwidth. I am able to access the video feed already through VLC by using this

http://<device ip>:5004/auto/v<channel number>?transcode=PROFILE

Is there anyway to add this into NextPVR as another tuner?

I presume you are trying to access this outside of your LAN (like at a friends house). If that is what you are trying to accomplish, then I might suggest to you, looking into Emby (use to be MediaBrowser) they have exactly the functionality for this, you setup one machine as your Emby Server and then it can be accessed and viewed from anywhere on any machine with a web browser.

I can use VLC to access it directly without any software by just doing some port forwarding. What I am trying to do is integrate it into NextPVR so that all of my frontends will have access to those feeds.

I do this at home with Kodi + XNEWA (normal or web client with NextPVR interface) to access those HDTC urls directly for LiveTV.

Yes I can use Kodi also. I was hoping there might be a way to add these as a "channel" to NextPVR. That way I can add a guide and even schedule recordings. Would the IPTV option do anything for me? or some way to trick NextPVR into seeing it?

Maybe you don't under these play as NextPVR channels for me. If you add them as IPTV you will have conflicts if you merge them or duplicate all the channels.

I did create a demo of the HDHR direct here using XNEWA native http://youtu.be/ySdXwEDPeSk and would be like this in web client mode https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDBexA0Wdig

I am a bit confused. Where is the config performed for X-NEWA using a remote HDHomerun? (mapping the url and the epg)

Also - i'm assuming this would allow liveTV but not recordings as NextPVR (backend) actually isn't talking to or aware of the HDHomerun?

[mvallevand]

Right now the config is by editing an x-newa file. I had considered making it easier or even using the HDHR zero conf logic but I found brute force easier given right now I am the only user of this feature

NextPVR can be aware of the HDHR or not or you can use one tuner in NextPVR and reserve one for x-newa.

Do you have an example config that I can take a look at?

Also - NextPVR cannot be aware of the HDHR in this case (as that was my original question) as its on a remote network and I am not able to easily do a bridged VPN.

Ok now I understand you don't want NextPVR remote, so yes I would use IPTV.
