Can't get past "Verifying login on Spectrum" on FreeNAS

[teladog01]

Running Channels DVR in a jail on FreeNAS that was setup using this guide. I've successfully installed Chromium by running pkg install chromium. When I do Add Source in Channels DVR settings, it hangs on this:

All I see in the log is this:

2019/10/29 22:40:05 [TVE] Auth starting for Spectrum as [redacted username]
2019/10/29 22:40:05 [TVE] action=auth mvpd=Spectrum requestor=nbcentertainment

This is the first time I've tried setting up TVE, so I have no idea how long this "verifying login" is supposed to take. It's been about 20 minutes now, but I have a feeling the process is hung?

What does this command output:

chromium --version

[teladog01]

Well this doesn't look good:

root@channelsdvr:~ # chromium --version
chromium: Command not found.

[tmm1]

Maybe it's chromium-browser --version

[teladog01]

Same thing:

root@channelsdvr:~ # chromium-browser --version
chromium-browser: Command not found.

How do we determine if it's really installed?

[tmm1]

What does pkg install chromium say?

[teladog01]

root@channelsdvr:~ # pkg install chromium

Try:

pkg list chromium | grep bin/

[teladog01]

root@channelsdvr:~ # pkg list chromium | grep bin/
/usr/local/bin/chrome
/usr/local/bin/chromedriver

[tmm1]

Ok so chrome --version

Does "ps aux | grep chrome" show chrome running from the dvr's login attempt?

[teladog01]

Oooo, now we're getting somewhere...

root@channelsdvr:~ # chrome --version
Shared object "libdl.so.1" not found, required by "chrome"

[teladog01]

root@channelsdvr:~ # ps aux | grep chrome
root 91326 0.0 0.0 14828 2380 1 S+J 00:10 0:00.00 grep chrome

[tmm1]

Okay so it doesn't even run. Maybe there's some package you need that contains libdl.so

You might want to reach out to the freenas folks about this. I think they're building the chrome package now and it might not have dependencies set correctly.

[teladog01]

Looks like packages are being built for 11.2 now. But this jail is 11.1, which doesn't have the missing libdl dependency. Solution is to update jail. Only problem is this does not work currently due to bug in Freenas and is not targeted to be fixed until 11.3. Ugh.

[teladog01]

I copied over /usr/lib/libdl.so.1 from an 11.2 jail and now the Add Source process seems to have worked.

Thanks for the help, @tmm1.
