Initial setup - cannot connect to server

Channels DVR Server Troubleshooting
#21

It's a bug with the new stable version.

I just tried a fresh install and am seeing the same thing.

I just subscribed to a trial month and am having a similar problem to what's being described here. I'm installing on a headless Windows machine, and I see the same spinning circle on that machine or connecting from a different machine on the same network.

The website required me to login to download the installer, but after I ran it the app did not appear to send me to the site to login (though I can't tell if any attempt at authentication happened in the background).

My log file (from 127.0.0.1:8089/log):
2023/09/14 22:40:57.883035 [SYS] Starting Channels DVR v2023.09.13.2351 (windows-x86_64 pid:12004) in C:\ProgramData\ChannelsDVR\data

I'm using this with a HDHomeRun Flex 4K tuner, and have used both Edge and Firefox to try accessing the admin link.

Just installed Channels DVR app on Apple TV, purchased a one-year subscription to Channels DVR, and downloaded the Channels Server from the website today and installed it on my Mac. All I get is a spinning wheel. Here is the log:

2023/09/14 22:34:37.399937 [SYS] Starting Channels DVR v2023.09.13.2351 (darwin-arm64 pid:1536) in /Users/xxxxx/Library/Application Support/ChannelsDVR/data

2023/09/14 22:34:39.000732 [SYS] Bonjour service registered with xxxx-iMac.attlocal.net

The Channels DVR app on my Apple TV says it cannot find the Channels server that is supposed to be running on my Mac.

Any help to get this new system working would be appreciated. Trying to use Channels with a new HDHomeRun 4k Tuner. Thanks

This (http://127.0.0.1:8089/welcome) successfully got me into a setup screen where I'm now making some forward progress. Thank you!

#26

Thanks everyone for tracking this down. New release is coming out shortly.

#27

Fixed and released as stable.

#28

That did it thanks!

#29

That worked @chDVRuser, along with the bug fix. Thanks folks, I like what I see.
