No EPG and other questions

[chrisgla]

Thanks, logs enclosed.

This machine is in Docker on Qnap, I have the network in bridge mode with static IP to avoid any issue- no firewall.

I have tried it separately on another machine with NAT and port 8020 mapped for TCP and UDP- same.

Will try windows tomorrow if you think it's inbound on the server that's failing but a bit lost...

If the HDHR was sending traffic to NextPVR, is 192.168.178.217 the correct address it should be sending to?

Would UDP port 8020 make it to NextPVR with the current docker configuration. Might need to map that into the container?

Yes, .217 is correct ip and dedicated to container.

I also tried another container using NAT and followed the docker Build document exactly including mapping udp8020-8030 for “legacy”, but still no data.

I’ll have a look with wireshark tomorrow and see what’s going on- I just wasn’t sure from the rest of the thread if this should work or the other dll fixed, etc

I know the dvb guide seems a new feature.

I did load Windows version on a third machine but it doesn’t give me the option of dvb guide...

Thanks!

Yes, it should do. It works fine for me here. Docker adds a few more complications t

I know the dvb guide seems a new feature.

Hooking it up for the HDHR is fairly new. The actual parsing of it has been around for a long time, but there wasn't previously a way to get data from the HDHR into the EPG parsing routines, and that was just added recently.

I did load Windows version on a third machine but it doesn’t give me the option of dvb guide...

Hmm, should do. I'm using it fine here on Windows. When you are initially importing from the HDHR, is DVB EPG available in the EPG dropdown?

[chrisgla]

No, it was at scan I was looking for DVB EPG.

Win is a clean install- NextPVR never been machine. Went straight into devices, it found HDHR and I clicked scan for channels but on Windows it shows an option for Freesat EPG- not DVB. xmlTV and SD options are there as well
I have no IP Freesat...


If I go into auto-map I'm given options for DVB/ ATSC and Freesat (UK)- neither works 

The channels play ok- but no guide.

I very quickly tried SD (at end of log) but it was still trying OTA- but this could have been rushing.

Log for Win machine enclosed (I won't run nextPVR on this- just hoped it was an easy check!)

Latest download from today...

Do you have "C:\Program Files\Silicondust\HDHomeRun\hdhomerun_config.exe" on your machine? (in that exact path)

What do you get if you run:

Code:

"C:\Program Files\Silicondust\HDHomeRun\hdhomerun_config.exe" 12525ED8 get /sys/model

[chrisgla]

Loaded HDHR software (only Win10 app was installed "hdhomerun_config.exe" returns "hdhomerun5_dvbt"

After I loaded the HDHR software the DVB/ATSC EPG option now appears in NextPVR along with HDHR Local recorder DVB-T and DVB-C devices which are confusing me a bit!
I presume the HDHR sofware is needed for OTA- but do I still use the "root" HDHR device or "tune" the local record ones in NextPVR?


The EPG data is definitely reaching the machine- I can see guide data in wireshark (screenshot below). 192.168.178.50 is NextPVR Win10, .149 is HDHR. Have the full capture if it helps.
I'm not sure if channel name or numbers/ identifiers mapping needs set in NextPVR, or BDA mode & auto/ TVCT insert in HDHR software? I think I seen a mention that UK OTA data has some markers missing and if I change these I get different degrees of success in nrecord.log, ie:-

Co-incidentally, firmware 20200521 appeared today and installed when I installed software (I only purchased and updated HDHR firmware on Wednesday!)

Ah yes, sorry - I forgot about this. For DVB EPG it does require the 'HDHomeRun Software for Windows' to be installed.

You can just continue use the 'HDHR' device type if you like. (rather than the DVB-T / DVB-C options the software would also have added.

This can be ignored. It just means there some listings in the stream for channels you don't have. (there is several scenarios where this can be entirely normal)

Ok these are something I will definitely need to fix. I might need to suggest a way for you to capture the stream, so I can try playing it back in the debugger here.

[sub]

If you're technically inclined, info about capturing a stream can be found here:
https://www.silicondust.com/hdhomerun/hd...opment.pdf

ie, probably something like:
hdhomerun_config FFFFFFFF set /tuner0/program 3
hdhomerun_config FFFFFFFF set /tuner0/filter "0x0000-0x1FFF"
hdhomerun_config FFFFFFFF save /tuner0 capture.ts

(where FFFFFFFF is replaced with your device ID)

Otherwise, I'll try to think of a more straight forward way to capture it. (ie, I might include some feature in the app, since I'm finding I semi-regularly have to ask for this type of thing)
