Can't get remote streaming working

Channels DVR Server
#1

It is available using IP:8089, but the playback never starts.

Doesn’t matter if i’m using it on LAN using the local ip or on WAN.

The log says:

Channels is working perfectly on ATV 4K, my internet is 500/500 mbit, the server running channels is setup with full Windows 10, using a Intel i5-6500, which is idle.

At one time i could see the network being active, ie. recieving 10 mbit/s and uploading 3 mbit/s (Transcoding) , but the playback never started.

Any good ideas on how to proceed?

This looks like a bug affecting channels with teletext.

Can you start a recording on channel 5, wait two minutes and stop it, then email me the recorded file to [email protected]

#3

Wauw you guys are fast!

You have it on email now :slight_smile:

Futhermore i get a timeout trying to allow Remote dvr on my ATV

#5

Make sure my.channelsdvr.net is working. If not, there may be some problem with your port forwarding.

#6

It works remotely, buy not locally…

So my port forward works - Any ideas?

#7

Weird it doesn’t work locally. Usually indicates some sort of problem with the router where you cannot access your own public IP.

#8

So this is the case, my internet provider has a funny setup for static IP’s, causing my ip to be unreachable locally.
I will try to find a solution for this, but on a side note other services uses the local IP instead, so it has not been a problem before now.

Anyhow, this shouldn’t affect problem number 1, not being able to stream anything, so I look forward to your video analysis :slight_smile:

#9

I was able to fix the issue. A new build will be available in approximately one hour. I’ll post when it’s ready with instructions on how to update.

#10

Ok the new build is ready. Hold down the SHIFT key on your keyboard and click the Check for Updates button.

Let me know if it fixes your problem.

#11

So far so good :thumbsup:

Regarding the other issue, I got a response from my provider, telling me this it is impossible to access my own public IP.

Is there another solution or does this mean I can’t use the DVR system at home?

#12

The “login to remote DVR” is not for in-Home use.

At home the DVR tabs should show up automatically as the DVR server is discovered using Bonjour.

Please copy/paste the message listed under the Bonjour checkbox on the DVR web UI
