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

tonywagner · February 22, 2025, 1:31am

Sorry about that. While the zip_code variable didn't do anything anymore, the startup code still required it. But the latest mlbserver update removed the variable entirely, so you could once again remove it from your Docker config if you like.

I am trying to do the one-click Frndly TV install, but I am getting this error:

JSON response from http://192.168.29.131:9000/api/stacks/create/standalone/string?endpointId=2:
{"message":"Unable to find an environment with the specified identifier inside the database","details":"Object not found inside the database (bucket=endpoints, key=2)"}
false

I am not sure what steps I should take to troubleshoot?
Does ChannelsDVR have to be running in Docker for this to work? Can it be running in Windows (11).

Try using the Docker Compose a couple of posts up, with the new PORTAINER_ENV value set to 3. This might be a new wrinkle with the latest version of Portainer, that you could help prove/disprove.

Channels2021 · February 22, 2025, 6:29am

Thanks, I will.
edit...
I used the script from post 340. OliveTin started right up. I get the same error, however.
Could this be my issue, I see it in the Post-install Health Check?

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

Channels reports this path as...
C:\ProgramData2\DVR

When using a Windows path in Portainer, change the backslashes to slashes like this...
C:/ProgramData2/DVR

When using WSL with a Linux distro and Docker Desktop, it's also possible to use...
/mnt/c/ProgramData2/DVR

I updated Portainer and still only have one environment 'local' which is '2'

I got it now

Change these environment variables

CHANNELS_DVR2_HOST=another-server	# change it to CHANNELS_DVR2_HOST=
CHANNELS_DVR2_PORT=8089	# change it to CHANNELS_DVR2_HOST=
CHANNELS_DVR_HOST=local-server	# change it to CHANNELS_DVR_HOST=IP ADDRESS OF YOUR CHANNELS DVR SERVER HERE
DOMAIN=192.168.7.109:8089	# change it to DOMAIN=local

Add this line
PORTAINER_HOST=IP ADDRESS OF YOUR CHANNELS DVR SERVER HERE

Good idea

Update these

CHANNELS_DVR2_PORT=8089              # change it to CHANNELS_DVR2_PORT=
CHANNELS_DVR_HOST=192.168.7.109:8089 # change it to CHANNELS_DVR_HOST=192.168.7.109

Remove the port numbers and keep the DVR2 PORT empty?

chDVRuser · February 22, 2025, 9:56pm

CHANNELS_DVR2_PORT=8089 change to CHANNELS_DVR2_PORT=
CHANNELS_DVR_HOST=192.168.7.109:8089 change to CHANNELS_DVR_HOST=192.168.7.109

This should be the actual LAN hostname (hostnames never have spaces), or IP address of any Channels client you'd like to be able to send onscreen messages to.

bnhf · February 22, 2025, 10:54pm

Also, if you could update OliveTin to the :latest (:2025.02.22), pushed a few minutes ago, and then re-run a Post-Install Healthcheck. Please post the results shown in Standard Output (no Standard Error) here, as there are a couple of things I'd like to verify.

Channels2021 · February 22, 2025, 10:59pm

Under Clients in the CDVR web settings, it says my ATV 4K is named "Living Room"?

bnhf · February 22, 2025, 11:02pm

That's CDVR's informal name for the device not the actual LAN hostname. Using the LAN IP for this value is probably the easiest, and it's shown on that same page in the CDVR webUI under that informal name.

Channels2021 · February 22, 2025, 11:03pm

Great! I will. I will look for how to update OT.

bnhf · February 22, 2025, 11:06pm

You can either use Watchtower, or if you don't have that installed, stop the OliveTin stack. Then, go into the Stack Editor, and click Update the stack followed by selecting the Re-pull and redeploy slider.

Channels2021 · February 22, 2025, 11:19pm

Is that option available on the free version of Docker? I don't see it.
