Channels DVR Server Troubleshooting
#1

Have been running Channels for years through HDHomeRun. Two days ago, I lost my cable guide, so pulled up Channels DVR to troubleshoot.

HDHomeRun was removed from the source list. Scanning did not relocate it. Searching by physical IP did not add it. Rebooting HDHomeRun did not help.

The HDHomeRun app run from my computer is just fine; the device does not seem to be the issue. Also, I can still watch TV from Channels, I just have lost my guide/DVR use.

Will try to roll back my Channels version. And report back. Here's my specs:

Channels DVR Server 2024.05.07.1442
HDHomeRun 13271CF7 PRIME
macOS Sonoma 14.5 running Channels DVR
AppleTVs (multiple types) running Channels V5.9.0

Reboot router?

Updating to DVR Server 2024.06.01.1735 fixed the issue.

Guessing that just restarting the Channels DVR server fixed it.
I'm not familiar with Macs, could something (firewall, etc.) have blocked the Channels DVR server program from communicating with the HDHR tuner?
Since you could watch it using the clients, they were probably accessing the HDHR directly without going through the Channels DVR server.

Thanks! Restarting the server did not work. Restarting the router did not work. Complete shutdown and reboot of all systems did not work. But updating the server from 2024.05 to 2024.06 solved the problem. All good now!
