Unable to add Telly with exiting HDHomeRun #26

After-Shock · 2018-02-20T04:37:12Z

I have an existing HDHomeRun Prime that's hooked through Plex on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. With ZERO DVR's configured I input localhost:6077 and then hit continue it shows the telly tuner but then auto switches to the HDHomerun.

With the HDHomerun configured first, I'm allowed to add Telly tuner and configure channels, match epg and finish. Says complete and it will be downloading the program guide. However as soon as I switch off that screen the Tuner displays: Device not found. Ensure your device is powered on and connected to your network.

I'm remote currently but will try unplugging the HDHomerun tomorrow and setup telly on it's own and report back.

I should also report that I'm using Vaders m3u link from Xtream-editor widdled down to roughly 404 channels.

This is very interesting and something I didn't think of, also annoying to debug because I don't have a HDHomerun myself ;-)

That telly device not found error when it's all setup is normal - it has something to do with Plex pinging the device and going "oh crap we've been had" or something like that (which I am looking into and hopefully fixing soon...).

As for trying to add when Plex finds a hdhomerun too, hmph. The problem here is that Plex knows telly exists but doesn't display it for whatever reason - I think I can guess the reason for this and I'll attempt to throw a patch soon and let you try that if that's okay?

@After-Shock can you try building from https://github.com/HazCod/telly/tree/fix-friendlyname and report back?

I changed the FriendlyName of it to the official HDHomeRun name, just to rule that out.
Difference: master...HazCod:fix-friendlyname

tombowditch · 2018-02-20T08:23:19Z

If you can't build I can chuck you a binary tonight - let me know what you're running on (I assume Linux amd64?)

After-Shock · 2018-02-20T15:18:04Z

Linux amd64, correct. I'd appreciate the binary when possible. I can kick the tires tonight on it at work and report back.

tombowditch · 2018-02-20T15:19:37Z

Sure thing - I'm home in 3 hours so I'll chuck you one then

After-Shock · 2018-02-21T00:02:08Z

Ready to test that binary when you have the time.

After-Shock · 2018-02-21T02:47:26Z

Update, was able to add the telly' tuner with the HDHomerun Disabled, I added a few test channels and matched the EPG for my area. However I am unable to go back and add other channels due to the "Device not found" message mentioned in my original post. Obv this isn't by design, just wanted to make sure it's something that is being addressed.

cesalo · 2018-02-21T03:32:49Z

I've had a similar issue (not just with telly but with others proxies). In my case (and I don't know if it will work for you) doing a quick restart of Plex fixes the issue, once Plex is restarted it finds telly again. Give it a try .. it may work for you. Sorry to not provide a root cause but testing so many things I found this workaround and so far has consistently fixed this particular issue.

tombowditch · 2018-02-21T11:37:56Z

Morning - my apologies @After-Shock got distracted last night. One binary coming right up...

moenster · 2018-02-21T20:52:42Z

I'm facing the samme issue. Plex initially sees the "telly HDHR" but then it disappears after 10-15 seconds or so. I also have a physical HDHR, but it's the same with that one powered off.

From my Plex logs:

From telly command line:
@plex:/opt/telly# ./telly-linux-amd64 -playlist=/opt/telly/iptv.m3u -listen 192.168.2.3:5004 -logrequests

I tried Tom's test build above, but it didn't make i difference for me.

FWIW then I had the same issues with tvhProxy.

tombowditch · 2018-02-21T20:59:44Z

@moenster OK, thats progress. I've never seen the 2250 log line... huh...

I'll look into it shortly.

moenster · 2018-02-21T21:05:08Z

From what I can see, then telly doesn't die, but Plex seems to see it that way. I can still get the XML output from telly.

moenster · 2018-02-22T13:05:19Z

Ok, I updated to v. 0.4.1 and restarted PMS. The DVR appeared as connected for a short while and then returned to the "not found" state.

The strange thing is that I can actually watch the IPTV stream even though the device appears as not found.

So it's absolutely a move in the right direction. Good stuff.

porkie02 · 2018-02-22T13:06:37Z

My plex dvr says its not connected sometimes but works fine regardless.

tombowditch · 2018-02-22T13:06:37Z

Yeah, I think I have a problem where telly isn't telling Plex "I'm alive" properly, need to do some more debugging and probably some HTTP inspection on that front, I assume it's trying to load a URL I've missed out.

tombowditch · 2018-02-22T13:06:50Z

Same as @porkie02 ^^

tombowditch · 2018-02-22T13:07:26Z

But this seems to be especially a problem when you have an existing HDHomerun as Plex, when adding it, will just fall back to that iirc.

porkie02 · 2018-02-22T13:08:16Z

I should dig out my homerun and have a look.

andyblac · 2018-02-24T11:06:50Z

just a heads up plex 'pings' the device via the SSDP protocol, you need to add a SSDP routine to your code, have a look how i managed this at my project https://github.com/OpenViX/HRTunerProxy your more than welcome to used some code, just a give me a thanks in your app.

this is also how your device will be automatically seen in the plex setup screens. also make sure your UUID's are the correct length and format a simple 12345678 is not enough

tombowditch · 2018-02-24T11:09:45Z

@andyblac ooo, something I completely missed... many thanks! I'll take a look at it early next week and be sure to give you credit ;-)
