DVR not quite set up yet

On Android/FireTV....
I'm updating my firewall and have opened port 8089, the stable Channels App finds the DVR, but issues the above message. What exactly is it checking for?
DVR beta 12.12 thru 12.16 releases.

Using Android Live Channels/PVRLive the the DVR server is accessed and things play fine.
Thanks.

What IP does it show?

Sounds like you have multiple dvrs installed and it found one that's not setup yet.

I do have multiple DVRs, but all of them are completely configured and exhibit the same problem. At various times killing then restarting the app, it will latch on to a different server...show the correct server address but the same msg.
Also, if I open all ports through the firewall, it will work correctly. It's like it needs another port opened besides 8089?

One of the correct ip's for the servers in my 192.168.1.x subnet......
When I said 'Try Again' it would cycle through the correct addresses for each of my servers.

Also tried taking two of the servers offline with the same 'not configured' result.

But I do think I figured it out (or at least narrowed it down). When I said 'firewall' it was really an oversimplification. What I am working on is a lan isolation scheme for a router where there is no native vlan support. I'm defining layer2 rules (ebtables) to control access between each of the physical interfaces. So it starts out that all tcp traffic is blocked between each interface and I need to explicitly allow any traffic (DNS, mDNS, Bonjour, Samba, etc). Right now I'm not filtering any other protocol besides tcp.

So, knowing your Apple roots, I started adding tcp ports for Apple services. Not sure if it's definitive, but opening the ports for Xsan filesystem support fixed things up. Don't know if it matches anything you recognize, but I'll consider this solved.
