Project One-Click: All-in-One Installations of Docker Extensions and CDVR Custom Channels

Playground
#406

I removed that line and it loaded the stack before. The newest changes give me this error and the stack no longer loads. I am using the one from post #1 in this thread.

Failed to deploy a stack: failed to load the compose file: invalid spec: :/mnt/192.168.29.131-8089_ta: empty section between colons

#407

That error can only be from that line I wanted you to comment out -- so something wasn't right the second time you did it. I've updated the compose in Post #1 now, so you can copy and paste it as is. Be sure to use the Re-pull and redeploy slider when you update the stack.

#408

I haven't been able to retest this but I will soon. Thanks a lot!

Hoping for some guidance. I've been using CDVR for a number of years, works well & have setup some docker containers for Frndly, Tubi & Tubo in addition to Xfinity TVE & HDHR antenna. I am running on an older Intel Mac mini that I would like to retire. I have recently installed OliveTin and moving the add-ins there. I wanted to move CDVR to my wife's very lightly used M4 Mac mini as she only does light web/email sporadically. Is there a recommended, secure way to setup on her Mac? I am currently the named Apple user on the Intel & I was planning on setting up myself as a named user on her Mini to migrate that over. However as I think of a fresh setup should I setup a more generic OS user on this Mac and only use for CDVR? I am Apple using screen sharing very successfully in the house (and Tailscale remotely). Appreciate any input, thanks in advance.

Makes sense to me to setup a separate user for CDVR and Docker/Portainer, but I'm not an everyday Mac user. Maybe @Fofer has some thoughts on this?

#411

I have Channels DVR installed and running on my primary macOS user account. AFAIK this is the wisest path because otherwise it wouldn’t launch on its own after a reboot? As it stands now, as I understand it, I have to log in to the primary account first for CDVR hardware transcoding to work too. Maybe that’s outdated information now? I’m not really sure. Here's information I previously read that led me to those conclusions though:

@bnhf, Unfortunately, I'm still having some trouble with the Project One-Click Plex TV action on my Synology Channels DVR server. It's getting the container up and running, and installing the Plex TV-NoEPG source without any problem. However, the Plex TV "gracenote=include" source isn't making it into Channels. Deleting the containers and sources using the one-click action is nice, so that I can repeat the installation easily as I am testing things.

Thanks for letting me know. We'll get it figured out -- it'll be a couple of days before I can look at it though. I'll get back to you.

#414

I was able to add the 2nd source manually and seem to have things working for the time being. I'm mostly interested in helping smooth things out for anyone else who may want to use the action. Take your time. Please let me know when you need me to test it out again. :slightly_smiling_face:

I'm also having issues adding Plex. I changed the Host Dir from /Data to a directory I use for Channels on my Mac. Are there any other values I need to change? This is the error I get every time:

Could you hover over the local environment (as shown in the linked post screenshot) and let me know the environment number shown?

Where are you seeing this error? Are you seeing this in Standard Output or Standard Error? Does a Plex stack exist in Portainer?

The error shows in the Standard Output; no stack is created in Portainer. Below is what I get for the Standard Error:

Similar to the user in the post I linked, your Portainer "Environment" ID has changed from 2 to 3 -- I'm still trying to figure out how that can happen (it's probably something Portainer is doing in the latest update). However, I've created a new env var to deal with it. Check post #1 in this thread, for the latest OliveTin Docker Compose, and be sure to use 3 for PORTAINER_ENV:

PORTAINER_ENV=3
