Chrome Error on Channels DVR TVE Truenas Image

Chromium is still broken for the TVE Truenas image.

Is there any update on this?

For anyone on Truenas scale setting it up this is the config that works properly

Solution! I installed Portainer from the community apps on TrueNAS and was able to install channelsdvr onto that with no issues! TVE working fine now!

Thanks for sharing the links.

I am trying to use the TrueNAS package and not using docker.

I can't find anywhere to adjust the Protocol for Portal to HTTPS Protocol.
