QNAP NAS - AppleTV Can't Find DVR

Channels DVR Server
#1

I’m trying to move the DVR to my QNAP TS-451+. I have moved the recordings and the 2 db files and started up the DVR. I see the recordings in the web interface, but neither AppleTV see the DVR. I’ve tried rebooting them, but that doesn’t help.

I am not using the virtualization station and it is not installed.

I did notice that on the NAS, the DVR lists bonjour discovery as: Advertising dvr-medianas.local. via [192.168.2.103, 192.168.1.92]

My primary network is 192.168.1.x which is listed second. My AppleTVs are on the 192.168.1.x network.

Is there a bug somewhere where it is not advertising correctly on both network interfaces?

Yes, this is a bug.

You can use the workaround in Change Bonjour interface/IP bind order to force which IP is broadcast.

I tried typing the following:

curl -XPUT http://192.168.1.92:8089/bonjour/interface/bond0

I then unchecked bonjour in the web UI and now it won’t let me check it back on again.

I tried the -XDELETE to revert back, but it still doesn’t work.

You need to change the URL in browser to use the IP

I figured it out. Had to uninstall and reinstall first to get the ability to toggle on/off the bonjour setting.

I then need to use: curl -XPUT http://192.168.1.92:8089/bonjour/interface/br1

I didn’t realize that the end is the name of the network interface on my NAS which was br1 instead of bond.

All is working now and I can see the the DVR on the AppleTV.

Thanks.
