OliveTin for Channels: An Interface for Misc Channels DVR Scripts & Tricks

[bnhf]

@jsfullam

BOOM! The main dvr: box populated right away!

Strange path to success -- but we'll take the win!

[jsfullam]

@bnhf , Something even crazier than that... after reloading the Olivetin page, we're back to dvr: none.
It worked properly once, then it's gone...

It seems like each time I change a variable and re-pull/re-deploy, it will work one time and then disappear after an Olivetin page refresh. I've tried it several times...

[chDVRuser]

Check the environment variables in the olivetin container (can do with Portainer).
UPDATE_YAMLS & UPDATE_SCRIPTS should be true and
CHANNELS_DVR should be 192.168.1.100:8089

CHANNELS_DVR=192.168.1.4:8489
UPDATE_YAMLS=true
UPDATE_SCRIPTS=true
CHANNELS_DVR_ALTERNATES=192.168.1.4:8089 192.168.1.4:8189 192.168.1.4:8190 192.168.1.4:8289 192.168.1.4:8389 192.168.1.4:8090

From the healthcheck results you posted (I missed that), they look correct

@jsfullam

Here's a list of your current OliveTin-related settings:

Curious what his OliveTin for Channels config.yaml file looks like

I'm still running the 2025.07.03 version. Haven't updated to 2025.07.10 yet.

[jsfullam]

@chDVRuser , I really appreciate your input. I'm not the sharpest guy any more. But, I think that I have a bit more tech savvy than the average Joe. This one really has me confounded.

As you suggest, I'll grab the config.yaml contents and post it up for us to look at. I'l have to jump to a different computer for that. This chromebook isn't so good for browsing files on my NAS.

[chDVRuser]

I think this is your issue!
This directory is for a Synology package install of Channels DVR.

@jsfullam

Docker reports your current LOGS_SHARE setting as...
/var/packages/ChannelsDVR/target/channels-dvr

If the listed folders are NOT visible, AND you have your Channels DVR and Docker on the same system:

Channels reports this path as...
/var/packages/ChannelsDVR/target/channels-dvr

For a docker container install of Channels DVR, it should be /volume1/docker/channels-dvr

Do you have both a Synology package install and a docker container install?

[jsfullam]

[chDVRuser]

The config.yaml file isn't getting updated. Most likely due to permission issues.
Which directory did you get that file from?

[jsfullam]

@chDVRuser

Do you have both a Synology package install and a docker container install?

I have the Synology package installed and it has been my only CDVR instance running. I previously tried a container install using Project One-Click. I never switched the DVR over to use it. So, I used One-click to remove it.

[jsfullam]

@chDVRuser

Which directory did you get that file from?

/docker/olivetin

[chDVRuser]

@jsfullam

I have the Synology package installed and it has been my only CDVR instance running.

OK. My bad. Never mind. Thought you were running it in a container.

[chDVRuser]

For some reason that config.yaml file isn't getting updated.
Try running another action, like Generate Filtered Channels DVR Log
and see if you can select your DVR and if it updates the config.yaml file.

[jsfullam]

@chDVRuser

see if you can select your DVR and if it updates the config.yaml file.

I was able to select the DVR and run the action. But..it did not update the config.yaml file.

I should say the all the actions have the same problem of not automatically populating the dvr: entry box. The just say "none". There is no drop-down menu of choices.

When I clear the "none" from the box, I can choose from previous entries. But, I think those choices are coming from my browser, and not from Olivetin.

[chDVRuser]

@bnhf
I just noticed my config.yaml file is not updating either.
I'm running version 2025.07.03 and the timestamp of the config.yaml file is July 3rd.
Is it only when you select a background task action that it updates the config.yaml file?

[chDVRuser]

@jsfullam

But, I think those choices are coming from my browser, and not from Olivetin.

If it came from Olivetin it would be a dropdown list and you would see the values in the config.yaml file.

[chDVRuser]

Try changing the Portainer Stack environment variable CHANNELS_DVR_ALTERNATES to
CHANNELS_DVR_ALTERNATES=192.168.1.100:8089
and redeploy the stack.

If that environment variable isn't there (he's changed his compose statement), do this instead
Change these environment variables, like this
CHANNELS_DVR2_HOST=192.168.1.100
CHANNELS_DVR2_PORT=8089
and redeploy the stack.

[bnhf]

@jsfullam

    arguments:
      - name: dvr
        type: very_dangerous_raw_string
        description: Channels DVR server to use. #stationid dvr description
        default: none #stationid dvr default

This section tells us that your config.yaml file is not being configured at startup. I don't recall this happening before, but permissions are certainly a possibility.

Could you stop and restart the stack, and post the complete Portainer startup log? It should look something like this:

I hope this is what you mean...

It is, but everything still looks good...

I've just pushed a new version of bnhf/olivetin:latest which will capture the debug output from container startup in a file called start.debug.log. This can also be accessed via the new OliveTin Actions Debug Log Viewer:

Go ahead and Re-pull and redeploy, and then copy-and-paste the startup debug log output and send it to me via PM (it may have some sensitive data in it). It'll be big, so split it up into multiple messages if needed (in code blocks as usual of course).

[jsfullam]

Startup Debug Log sent via PM. It all fit in a single message.

@chDVRuser

Is it only when you select a background task action that it updates the config.yaml file?

Also on container start.
