Docker options

Hello!

First steps into nextpvr it raised some questions:

1. When starting the container in host mode .... it seems the container doesnt get a valid ip via DHCP. And to set it manually for testing is a little bit difficult with the missing ipaddr tool. Do i miss something? (Docker is running on OS X)

2. The "--env SATIP_DEVICES=xxx" option. I found some hints here but it is not in the docs. In the forum there is one usage of "--env SATIP_DEVICES=http://192.168.178.20/octoserve/octonet.xml" ... but what exactly is it expecting? Is it just a link to the receivers channel list? The m3u style request string? ... The ffmpeg -i option params? 

3. The extras-*.xml file: The documentation is refering to put the file into the "data" dir, which is a little bit misleading because all the docker related docs is not mentioning data. In fact it is loaded from /config. Also a hint to properly format XML ( "&" -> "&") would be good, many receiver strings do have these characters inside the request strings

These are just some points i stumbled over, the main problem and one bug i did encounter i will open another thread to nut clutter this one

Cant wait to get nextpvr working and to see what it can

I think you need bridge mode for SAT>IP because of the ephemeral port RTSP uses. You can try the HOST_IP environment variable to report

Many SATP>IP device have a satdesc.xml file if discovery doesn't find the device. I don't think it helps 100% with using host mode though.

Since extras.xml is an XML file by definition it needs to follow the XML spec which is more than the just encoding.

Hello! i noticed that you are running inside of mac os, is there any chance is it an apple silicon machine? if this is true, then the docker is running inside of a VM, and that would require extra configuration to get the IP of the container exposed. You can still try to run into the mac's terminal "ifconfig" and check if the ip of the VM is exposed there. if so you can try that IP + PORT and see if you can reach the NextPVR page. But still, i see problems as passing the dvb tuner might be very tricky since you will have to work with MacOS restrictions.
