This didn't seem to do the trick.
So, opening port :5523 might do it? That's not too hard to test...
Yea and then set public IP as whatever your public IP is (not 192.x.x.x).
Full disclosure - I doubt any security risks opening FC to the web but just thought id mention!

You lost me here. My CDVR server and FastChannels server are both on my Synology NAS. 192.168.1.100. I have port forwarded 192.168.1.100:8089 and 192.168.1.100:5523.
I know my public IP where the NAS/server resides. When you say to set my public IP, where do you mean for me to do that?
Like your internet facing IP. Whatever your ISP assigns to your router
Yeah, I know what that IP is. Where do you suggest that I need to enter that? Here, in place of my local IP? If I do that, the local clients may not have access. I do have a No-IP address. Perhaps I could use that?
It would if you change the base URL from http://192.168.1.100:5523 to http://nas-home:5523. Be aware though that all of your clients need to be running Tailscale. So, this is one option.
The other option is to change the subnet on your remote LAN to something like 192.168.2.xxx, and implement a subnet router.
I would not recommend opening FastChannels to the Internet.
I agree. For now, I will have to be content knowing that FastChannels works fine at home. I give up on trying to get it to work properly when accessing CDVR remotely. I need things to be much more simple. I need a one-time set-up to work for both local and remote streaming. I'm too old and slow for all this fiddlin' around. I'm going to have CDVR prefer channels logos from guide data. I think that should at least bring in the Gracenote-matched channel logos.
Keep in mind this is not just for FastChannels. What we're talking about are issues with how your Tailnet is configured. For any of us with multiple homes, or that spend significant periods of time in locations other than "home", having a properly configured mesh VPN makes the entire Internet our own personal LAN. 
I would contend that using MagicDNS hostnames everywhere is simple, using IPs (sometimes one for local and another for remote) is what's complicated.

I'd like to get things set up correctly. Today I pushed myself past my limit. My brain got overloaded, and I got frustrated. I want FastChannels and everything else to work well at both homes. I understand that each LAN should have different subnet ranges, so that they don't overlap or duplicate addresses.
I'm at the second home for a while. It has less devices, and more importantly, less static IP devices to reconfigure. So, it is likely the better place to make a change to my subnet addresses.
Home is 192.168.1.###, Can I change the cabin LAN to something simple like: 192.168.2.###?
After I make that change, can I expect that combining both homes to behave like a single local network will be possible?
(I'm thinking that this conversation should be split from FastChannels into a separate topic...)
Yes.
Yes, with the addition of a subnet router -- which it looks like you have setup already, but not enabled.
You helped me set up a subnet router before. But, with the duplicated addresses, I had to disable it until I was on site to make changes to my second LAN. I'm here for a while, so, I'll try to work on it before I head home.
Is there anything I should know about making the switch to 192.168.2.###? I suspect that most of it is a matter of making a change on my router.
Dynamically assigned devices will likely find their new address automatically. I suppose that for static devices, I should release them to dynamic, so that they also can automatically find a place, then I can make new static assignments after the fact.
@KineticMan Not sure how complicated this would be but is it possible to request a Play Next/Previous Channel icon in the Preview Player window?
On the Channels tab, given a playlist, either the full list or a filtered list (like a Feed), when you click to play the preview channel, is there any way to add a Play Next/Previous icon to the player window? Like an up/down arrow, or a left/right arrow?
Something like from PotPlayer:
or this:
The good news is that on my screens, when I'm previewing a channel, I can see the list of channels behind the player's window, and I can also scroll up/down to see the names of the channels...
FYI - I’m adding a push refresh of XML/EPG guide data hourly into next version. I’ve noticed that CDVR doesn’t really update XML hourly like it’s supposed to so I’m forcing it. It should help everyone’s guide data stay fresher.
Caveat is that you used the Auto create feed (to CDVR) from FastChannels as I use the auto-created names to accomplish this.

PUT /dvr/lineups/XMLTV-Device ?
I used to script that, but now
Yep! Used your guide from years ago for the inspiration

Is there a way to reset dupes so I can reprioritize source priority? I would like to partially determine the priority on the above list so that I can get more consistent guide data.
Well, it’s a little dirty but you could in theory filter by duplicates, then re-enable all channels then re-run duplicates helper.
Did you actually get this to work? I fiddled around for quite some time. All I could get it to do was open to the Slingfree channel guide. I couldn't get it to launch the channel. I feel like I must be overlooking something obvious.
Yes, as you can see by the playback in the post it was working.
I removed the channel since I was only adding it to test if it could be done without a Sling account.
As easy as 1,2,3,4. I did it again just for you! 
No need to authenticate/verify 
since it's a free channel.
And you should know that after adding channels in PrismCast you have to Reload M3U and Redownload guide data on the Channels DVR source settings to see it in Channels DVR.
Would it be possible to be able to list channels that are NOT on any feed other than the default feed? I am trying to put all channels into separate feeds (grouping them) and I know I can look at the folder icon to see if it has a dot but it would be nice to have a list of all so I know how many I am missing. I think it would also help me easily see new channels as well.
Also, how does the "Add to feed" work? When I do that, it doesn't look like the channel is checked in the list but it says pinned at the top of the list. What is the difference? I have been going into the feeds and checking the boxes in there. Does it matter which way you add them to a feed?
