Cox login error on DS412+

satyrica · August 7, 2019, 12:25am

When trying to add source "TV Everywhere", and upon entering my login credentials for COX, I get the following authentication error: encountered exception 'Uncaught' 5:5.

I am using the most recent update/build (2019.08.06.2312), and am entering verified correct login credentials for my Cox account, Channels DVR installed on a Synology DS412+.

Any suggestion(s) on how to get this working?

Do you have a PC or Mac you can install the DVR on for testing, to see if the same thing happens there?

satyrica · August 7, 2019, 1:12am

I can install on my Mac. Necessary to uninstall my NAS server?

tmm1 · August 7, 2019, 1:13am

No need to uninstall from NAS.

satyrica · August 7, 2019, 1:25am

Installed on the Mac, and it is actually going through the process of verifying correctly! Once this finishes can I uninstall on the Mac and continue to use my Synology NAS as my DVR drive?

tmm1 · August 7, 2019, 2:29am

That means it's something about your NAS which is causing the TVE login not to work.

Can you copy/paste the OS/CPU section from the top of the DVR web UI on your NAS?

satyrica · August 7, 2019, 2:42am

OS:
Synology DS412+

Does your version of DSM have Container Station?

tmm1 · August 7, 2019, 2:55am

Maybe it's just called Docker in the Package Center.

If so you can try to run the fancybits/channels-dvr:tve docker container instead and see if that works better.

satyrica · August 7, 2019, 3:22am

Installed Docker: fancybits tve, but not sure how/where to access the status/overview page to add/view sources..

tmm1 · August 7, 2019, 3:31am

Make sure to disable the dvr package installed before.

In the docker config set networking mode to host, then access on port 8089 like you were before.

satyrica · August 7, 2019, 4:48am

Got it running, but

Concerns: Running the dvr/tve service on my mac, it detects 178 channels. Running it via Docker/NAS It detects 101. I however subscribe to over 250 channels.

tmm1 · August 7, 2019, 4:53am

You can click the pencil icon under Cox and then the Edit button to compare.

Is there are specific channels you expect to get but show errors after rescan, email support with a screenshot of the error messages

satyrica · August 7, 2019, 4:57am

There are at least 100 errors, mostly "server misbehaving", "encountered exception 'Uncaught' 5:5, as well as some chrome auth_timed_out.

tmm1 · August 7, 2019, 3:13pm

Seems like the TVE feature cannot reliably on your older NAS then. You would have to use your Mac or another device for the DVR.

satyrica · August 8, 2019, 12:27am

What are the minimum NAS processor requirements for TVE? And, is an authentication failure really related to the processor - seems like a stretch since it can transcode HD video without even a hiccup...

tmm1 · August 8, 2019, 12:30am

The issue is likely with the older version of the Linux kernel running on this device (which is 5+ years old). It might be fixable, but it's hard to do without access to a device for testing. If you're comfortable providing us with remote access via SSH then we may be able to look into the issue further.

The Cox login bug on the DS412+ has been fixed in the latest DVR pre-release (v2019.09.10.0019).

satyrica · October 4, 2019, 3:30am

Installed and can confirm that it is fixed and works - thank you!

satyrica · January 7, 2020, 2:25am

Happy New Year!

I went to watch TV today and got some strange url "adobe" errors on screen instead of programming. I went to check settings at http://dvr-diskstation.local:8089/admin/settings, and once again get the "encountered exception 'Uncaught' (5:5)" error that used to show up before the fix in (v2019.09.10.0019).

I can log into cox fine, my credentials/login has not changed....
