My QNAP NAS TS+251 kept pestering me to upgrade the firmware so I decided to do so. Big mistake, now Channels DVR won’t even start. I get “This site can’t be reached”. Any ideas?
What firmware was running before?
Do you see any errors when stopping and starting the DVR from the qnap apps page?
You could try uninstall and reinstalling the DVR onto the NAS.

Answer: I usually keep up-to-date so the previous version. I am not sure which one I am currently on.

Answer: I am not sure I understand the question. No errors just can’t access Channels DVR anymore

Answer: This was the first thing I did and did not work.
Hrm. Can you ssh in and run:
tail -10 /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/.qpkg/ChannelsDVR/channels-dvr/data/channels-dvr.log
Thank you for letting me know how to do it. Here you go.

Is that time stamp recent?
Can you connect to http://192.168.1.103:8089
Make sure that Virtualization Station is not installed/enabled because it uses port 8089 too
Funny you mentioned that. When I first purchased Channels DVR back in January that was my issue. You showed me where to change and that did the trick.
It appears there is a new version of Virtualization Station that was installed.
Virtualization Station was complaining that port 8088 and 8089 were being used so thought Channels DVR grabbed it already. Didn’t think that was a problem.
Seen your post and noticed that in fact it Virtualization Station was set to 8088 and 8089 so changed it to 8098 and 8099 and seems to work now. Thank you very much.
I do have another question for you.
What would be a better platform for Channels DVR to run on?
My QNAP TS-251+ NAS? or the NVIDIA SHIELD TV (second generation) with an external USB 3.0 drive?

SHIELD support is still very new and we are working out several issues. The DVR is much more stable on the NAS at the moment.
The NAS will be faster at comskip, the SHIELD will be better at transcoding.
Thank you. I will keep it running on the NAS then. I hope you guys port the client app (Channels TV) to the NVIDIA SHIELD TV.
