Getting HTTPS error TVE

When trying to check locals on the web browser I get this error ...

Local Networks via TV Everywhere
Try again over HTTPS. Your browser failed to retrieve your geolocation: Only secure origins are allowed (see: https://permanently-removed.invalid/Y0ZkNV).

Which browser?

Did you try clicking the "over HTTPS" link?

Like it says, you need to use HTTPS in the browser to enable locals over TVE now.

Microsoft Edge. yes tried it got an error

What error?

10-0-0-74.xxxxxxxxxxxxx.u.channelsdvr.net refused to connect.

Also tried Chrome

then your only option is to change the working site to https in the browser bar and click through the security warning, then try checking the option again

When I click on the https in the channels browser it tries to open the site with https and fails.

I mean https://10.0.1.74:8089 what does that show

Oh ok my server ip is 10.0.0.2 so trying that seems to be working,

It was picking up the IP from my PC I was using the browser from not the server.

Looking good got these channels.

6000 KGW
KGWDT (NBC)

6001 KATU
KATUDT (ABC)

6002 KPTV
FOXP (FOX)

6003 KOIN
KOINDT (CBS)

Oh d'oh okay that's a bug, its using the wrong IP. Will fix.

Fixed in prerelease, please try and confirm:

Version 2022.01.20.0115
If you access your DVR web UI from a browser using insecure http: and check [X] Local Networks via TV Everywhere, you're not prompted by the browser to allow location service and it results in this misleading error message "Your browser failed to retrieve your geolocation: User denied geolocation prompt"

In Firefox?

Yes, I can try again with Edge.
Using Edge with http: gives this message
Try again over HTTPS. Your browser failed to retrieve your geolocation: Only secure origins are allowed (see: https://permanently-removed.invalid/Y0ZkNV).
And the link http://192.168.1.3:8089/auth/forcehttps is to my DVR server.

Clicking that link leads to https://192-168-1-3.############.u.channelsdvr.net:8089/admin/settings
I then have to check the box again [X] Local Networks via TV Everywhere
And then it works.

But now I'm wondering how it resolved that url when I have remote access disabled and no port forwarded?

Uploading fix to show https links in more browsers

Much better. Two links to choose, both leading to the same secure https: location.
Works on Firefox now.
Also working in Brave.

Is the link correct (server IP) in the latest build?
Working for me.

Inquiring minds want to know. Care to share?

It's not using remote access. It connects in your home to the IP, over SSL
