Tvheadend

It works with properly configured nginx and it should work with apache, too. Could you test this?

Q: Access Tvheadend through HTTP proxy

Use '--http_root' directive to specify the alternative http webroot (initial
path prefix). The proxy server MUST pass this webroot path in the HTTP
request, otherwise an access to the Tvheadend server will end with
the endless redirect loop.

Example for nginx (--http_root=/my/tvh/server):

location /my/tvh/server {
  proxy_pass http://1.1.1.1:9981;
}

Example for apache (--http_root=/my/tvh/server):

ProxyPass "/my/tvh/server" "http://1.1.1.9981/my/tvh/server";

For nginx isn't better to use that?

location /my/tvh/server {
  proxy_pass http://1.1.1.1:9981;
  proxy_set_header  X-Real-IP  $remote_addr;
  proxy_set_header  Host  $http_host;
}

OK, http_root did the trick. Thank you.

I had problems without that headers.

Yes, sure, I focused only on proxy_pass line, the other headers are also mandatory to make things to work.

Still having problems with new version.
My config:

OPTIONS="-u hts -g video -6 --http_port 9981 --htsp_port 9982 --http_root /tv"

Apache:
ProxyPass /tv http://htpc.lan:9981/tv

While http://htpc.lan:9981/tv works fine i get {"type":"ApiError","message":"HTTP 404 Not Found"} on webserver.

Hi,

If you use "nginx" as the proxy, then you can use this:

server {
                proxy_protocol on;
                ...
}

And if you use "Apache", then configure and enable the PROXY PROTOCOL module:
http://roadrunner2.github.io/mod-proxy-protocol/mod_proxy_protocol.html

Then, inside the TVH you only need to configure the PROXY PROTOCOL support, enabling "Use PROXY protocol & X-Forwarded-For" in General Config (Base). Enabling this, all HTTP and RTSP listening ports will accept the PROXY protocol.

Futhermore, I suggest to Jaroslav to commit the patch of the issue #4748 for showing in the UI which connections use the PROXY protocol.

Regards.

Can we try without ProxyProtocol please?

Since some version i only get the EPG tab. (Going directly to the tvheadend server i get all the tabs).

In log i can see the following:

http: ::ffff:192.168.1.1: HTTP/1.0 GET /tv/comet/ws -- 415

I've recently had the same problem. What worked for me (using Apache) was to add the following to httpd.conf:

ProxyRequests Off
<Location "/tvh2/comet/ws">
ProxyPass ws://x.x.x.x:9981/tvh2/comet/ws/
ProxyPassReverse ws://x.x.x.x:9981/tvh2/comet/ws
</Location>
<Location "/tvh2">
ProxyPass http://x.x.x.x:9981/tvh2
ProxyPassReverse http://x.x.x.x:9981/tvh2
</Location>

and also enable the ws-proxy module. However even with these changes, Firefox wouldn't display all the tabs. Konqueror worked; I didn't check any other browsers.

That worked! Thank you very much! @Dave

@Dave, may i ask you how did you "debug" this and found the solution? Did you use logs or tcpdumps or anything?

No I used Google :)

https://tvheadend.org/boards/5/topics/27593

I found this two topics

This one submited as bug and another one as forum discussion
Link above

There i put my solution for apache reverse proxy.

How ...

Base on the settings from ngix.

For apache is need more than

the Proxy and the reverse

And base on this is need some rewrite
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22002744/how-to-set-up-an-apache-proxy-for-meteor-sockjs-and-websocket

So after that my reverse proxy is ok

Settings

  ProxyPass /tvheadend http://localhost:9981
  ProxyPassReverse /tvheadend http://localhost:9981
  ProxyPass /tvheadend/comet/ws ws://localhost:9981/comet/ws
  ProxyPassReverse /tvheadend/comet/ws ws://localhost:9981/comet/ws
<Location /tvheadend/comet/ws>
        RewriteEngine on
        RewriteCond %{HTTP:UPGRADE} ^WebSocket$ [NC]
        RewriteCond %{HTTP:CONNECTION} ^Upgrade$ [NC]
        RewriteRule .* ws://192.168.25.5:9981/comet/ws [P]
 </Location>

Notes:
I dont use any --http_root

because i dont use --http_root i also need this one

ProxyPass /static/ http://localhost:9981/static/
ProxyPassReverse /static/ http://localhost:9981/static/

And here

I have error 404 not found

i always used and ran my apache proxy with tvheadend on pios raspbian with the "/tvheadend"

directive set in "/etc/default/tvheadend"

in the directive: TVH_HTTP_ROOT = "/tvheadend"

my conf file contains the following entries:

ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyRequests off

ProxyPass /tvheadend/ http://192.168.6.78:9981/tvheadend/

ProxyPassReverse /tvheadend/ http://192.168.6.78:9981/tvheadend/

Pios raspbian has upgraded to bullseye and from now on i get 404 error not found. i tried to enable proxy entry in gui and reinstall but i can't see gui. what can I do?

What happens when change

ProxyPass /tvheadend/ http://127.0.0.1:9981
ProxyPassReverse /tvheadend/ http://127.0.0.1:9981

the problem that tvheadend resides on another raspberry that has ip 192.168.6.78,

if I call it without the path "/ tvheadend" in this way

ProxyPass /tvheadend/ http://192.168.6.78.1:9981                            
    ProxyPassReverse /tvheadend/  http://192.168.6.78:9981

I access but the cards do not come out

blank page but no tabs appear

ProxyPass /tvheadend/ http://192.168.6.78:9981/
ProxyPassReverse /tvheadend/ http://192.168.6.78:9981/

I access but the cards do not come out

blank page but no tabs appear

I use url

https://mo××××.duckdns.org/tvheadend

with tvheadend updated to 4.2.4 buster everything worked, with debian bullseye updated to 4.3-1994

i started having this problem

i solved it by myself as i understand that at least in this version the variable

"TVH_HTTP_ROOT =" / tvheadend "

it is not called back and I don't know why

then I had to always recall it in the same file under OPTIONS

OPTIONS = "- u hts -g video --http_root / tvheadend"

and I don't understand why the path validates them and on HTTP_ROOT no.

in addition on my apache proxy I had to enable the web socket call and with or without the PROXY protocol & X-Forwarded-For checkbox in the GUI everything works

ProxyPass /tvheadend/comet/ws ws://192.168.6.78:9981/tvheadend/comet/ws
    ProxyPassReverse /tvheadend/comet/ws  ws://192.168.6.78:9981/tvheadend/comet/ws
    ProxyPass /tvheadend http://192.168.6.78:9981/tvheadend
    ProxyPassReverse /tvheadend http://192.168.6.78:9981/tvheadend
