I recently have exploring DVR options and subscribed to the Channels DVR service to check it out.
I’ve installed on my linux box and can access the web interface from from the host (ip address) as well as my cellphone browser on my home network. I can schedule recordings and have manually recorded a program.
However, my Channels app on my Android TV box (MiBox) (just installed), doesn’t seem to have any DVR functionality enabled.
I’m guessing this has something to do with this Bonjour service.
I see this on the admin interface under the Bonjour service setting.
“Advertising dvr-myhostname.local. via 1 network: [192.168.x.xxx]”
This ‘dvr-myhostname.local.’ is not something resolvable on my network. I can use the ipaddress for accessing the web interface. Is that normal? Or is that a clue to why the Channel app client can’t find the dvr service?
Thanks for any info.
