Using my Nvidia Shield as a server and cannot connect to it from the Channels DVR app or from any other device. When you type in the IP address it connects, but wheel just spins in the browser. Any assistance is appreciated.
Iām dealing with the exact same thing with the spinning wheel on a Windows PC.

Try viewing the log from your browser and see what the last entries are.
http://127.0.0.1:8089/log
Use your Channels DVR IP address and port in place of 127.0.0.1:8089
Interesting it looks like my issue from the log link you sent is: "Failed to refresh auth: missing oauth client"
That's normal when you first install a server, until it connects and gets authorized.
Did it prompt you to login at getchannels.com when you installed it?
Here are the last two entries from the log:
Failed to refresh auth: missing oauth client
2023/09/14 21:41:25.003851 [SYS] Bonjour service running for dvr-shield.local. [192.168.68.127]
Sounds like it's waiting for you to finish setting it up.
What appears in your browser when you go to http://192.168.68.127:8089/admin/settings
And no I did not get a prompt to login.
How many lines are in the log?
Nothing appears but the same spinning wheel.

If there's only a few lines in the log, you can post that here.
Try restarting the shield?
There are ton of lines as I have started and stoped the server a few times and rebooted the shield twice.

Do you see lines like these showing it's running?

I never get the recording engine started message
As part of the initial setup, it should be asking you (in the browser) to login to getchannels.com to activate.
Sounds like maybe a bug in this new stable release version.
I never get to the login window. Right after I download the server it goes straight to the spinning wheel that never ends
Just to make sure, can you use a browser from another device on your local network and go to the IP address of your Windows PC

Thanks yeah I'll try that for sure. May not be until the AM though. Thanks a lot for the help hopefully it's a minor issue. I've used Channels for years with no issues so this is odd.
I was able to complete the setup in the using the IP address + /admin/settings link. It works now.
