!!! Installations Problem - Please help" i can`t reach the web interface for configuration !!! Kodi Iptv Simple Client, Synology NAS DS212J as PVR/ DVR, iPhone App Tvhclient

Added by Jens Nussbaum about 9 years ago

Hi to you all,

i have a severe problem installing tvheadend on my Synology DS 212J.
As i have seen on the forum there is a tvheadend version 4.x.

On my NAS there is a Software section, from where i can download and install tvheadend 3.4.27-6 from the synocommunity section.
When i try to update that version, there are no updates displayed.

The tvheadend is displayed as to be running on my Synology NAS.
Since i use a dyndns address, in order to reach my NAS, the url in order to reach tvheadend is displayed as http://my dyndns address.net:9981
Besides that i have also tried to reach the tvheadend web interface via the ip address : 192.168.XXX.XX:9981

First of all: Is it possible, to reach the tvheadend web interface over a safe https:// connection ?

Now to my problem:
When i try to reach the web interface with my safari or firefox browser in order to configure tvheadend on my NAS, i am asked to enter my username and password.
I have tried 3 things: ( after every step i have tried, i uninstalled the program, reinstalled it newly afterwards and finally have restarted the NAS after each of the below mentioned 3 steps?

1. i created a new Login combination,
2. i entered my DSM login data from my Synology NAS,
3. i did`t enter anything and skipped the username and password section, hoping to be able to configure them within the interface, but i haven`t reached the web interface once :)

Please help me, i am trying since weeks now to reach my goals, which are:

1.running tvheadend on my Synology DS 212J NAS as a pvr including time shift.
2. setting timers on my iOS device (iPhone)
3. Being able to watch the live TV via IPTV Simple Client and my recordings on my iphone, using the tvhclient App.

Anyways, i havent really been very successful until now...):

I would really appreciate your input and help in this matter !!!
Thank you very much !!!!

Cheers
Jens

My devices:

1. firetv with kodi 16
2. Synology NAS DS212J, running tvheadend 3.4.27-6.

I presume the synocommunity package is simply out of date - and if they don't build a new one, you won't get any updates, because they're not there.

There are other versions here, though - not current, but much more recent, at least: http://syno.dierkse.nl/

Now, beyond that, I don't know I can help - I haven't used tvh on a Syno box for several years. All I can think of is:

1. Check that tvh is running
2. ... and that it's only running once
3. Reconfigure the package if necessary, if there's anything in DSM that allows it
4. Look at the tvh config files (wherever they are...!); there's a file in the root of the config directory (superuser) that contains the master user that should let you in
5. Look deeper at the config - there's a directory 'accesscontrol' that contains other user details as you configure

... but that doesn't help really with the dead web interface.

Clear cookies? Different browser (can your iPhone see it, for example)? I assume you can get to DSM on http://yourIP:5000 (IIRC - long time ago...).

Hi Prof Yaffle, thank you for your reply.

I am the same opinion as you seem to be and think, that the old version of tvheadend might at least be part of the problem.

I have seen the links to http://syno.dierkse.nl/ , but i am unsure which one i should install and even more than that how to install it.
Can you advise me which one i should download regarding my devices and how to install it ?
The only actual software i have installed on my DS is official Software from Synology and private files and data, no running programs from third parties, so far.

I have switched browser again and have deleted my cache and cookies, but had no success until now.

Thanks again
Cheers - Interested Newbie

I'd probably go for the highest numbered tvheadend version - 4.0.something, preferably.

Which one depends on your platform. The 212j seems to be ARM: http://forum.synology.com/wiki/index.php/What_kind_of_CPU_does_my_NAS_have, so one of the ARMADA builds, I presume.

Installing... maybe Package Manager has some way to browse to the downloaded spk? ... yes, here: https://community.symform.com/entries/36703116-Synology-Manual-software-installation-or-update.

You can check if tvh is running by ssh-ing in and using ps -eaf or top at the command line. That's worth checking, as it'd explain why you've no webUI...
