This morning after reboot, DVR won’t start automatically. Then it won’t find tuners unless I scan network for them. I can’t seem to check the box “Enable Bonjour Discovery.” Not sure what’s going on here. Any suggestions?

I had this problem earlier. A restart of the DVR fixed it. But then it happened again on reboot.
Please post your log
When it happened to me here are my logs. Looks like the HDHR couldn’t be 2017/02/04 05:41:45 [SYS] Starting Channels DVR v2017.02.03.0335 (darwin-x86_64) in /Users/todd/channels-dvr/data

You already posted your logs on the other thread and figured out your issue, no? The server is coming up without network access so it cannot find your hdhomerun.
Seems to be working. Just wanted to add To the thread I had the same problem with the same version. Never had the problem with previous versions.
Thanks

Looks like the same issue. The software is starting before the network is available. What distro and version of Linux was this?
Mine occurred on Mac OS X 10.12.3.
linux ubuntu
16.04 (kernel: 4.4.0-62-generic)
I think you are right. When I kill the DVR process, it restarts itself and then works flawlessly – including Bonjour.
It’s possible your ubuntu is not configured to bring up networking correctly. See the discussion in Wait for networking on reboot (ubuntu network-online.target)
No issues with ubuntu here. The DVR is automatically updating and running great. Linux Ubuntu 16.04 (kernel: 4.4.0-59-generic)
Yes, that was the problem. Somehow my eth0 is now eno1 – so had to make an edit to the /etc/network/interfaces file. Not sure how or when that happened.
All working now. Resolved.
Or not. That was resolved for one or two reboots. Now, though I have no network issues (boot log shows clean boot with no errors) it also shows Channels is loading before the network. Any idea how to change that to wait?
Maybe @karlmitchell has some ideas too
Try running “sudo systemctl list-dependencies network-online.target” to see if the DVR is listed
it is not.
Check to see if network-online.target is listed in /etc/systemd/system/channels-dvr.service
[Unit]
Description=Channels DVR
Wants=network-online.target
After=network-online.target
No, only has:
[Unit]
Description=Channels DVR
Adding that to channels-dvr.service fixes the problem.
Not sure why that wasn’t there to start…
