Change defult port 9981 9982 on tvheadend

Added by Ian Morrison almost 6 years ago

I am using HTS Tvheadend 4.2.7 on a Linux PC with TBS 5520SE Sat Tuner (Freesat) and HTS Tvheadend 4.2.4 on a Raspberry Pi with TV Hat (Freeview).
I use dynamic dns to map a changing IP to one of the boxes but cannot use the other box in the same way.
Both boxes are using ports 9981 and 9982
If I use my local VPN on the remote device I want to view them from then I can contact the boxes with their local IP address (192.168.0.x).
The online documentation says you can't change the default port numbers so am I stuck using VPN to contact these boxes from a remote network?

Many Thanks

IanM
