TVHeadend WebGUI not reachable / Nginx?

Did you consider throwing TVHeadend into a VM instead?

I would guess ur using IE11 - the world standard in web incompatibility. Best answer I can give you is use either Crome or Firefox although I have seen the odd issue with these browsers as well. I think the main problem is not being able to log out of TVH so the browser just thinks it's still logged in. TVH has its own web engine so I would doubt this is nginx related or, indeed, anything to do with OMV. I would ask you log this with TVH if it bothers you so much but better still just ditch the windoze.

I tried TVH in a VBOX mv earlier this year as it wasn't supported via the repos in squeeze so I did a net instal wheezy VM and passed thru a DVB dongle. No issues with the install and it happily scanned the channels in but playback failed supremely on an N54L. May be CPU related or just lack of hardware decoding in VM so worth a try on a fast box if ur bored one afternoon. If only SD required and it worked already on a Pi then what about running it on the pi and power from the Nas usb for the sake of a watt?

Create a daily cronjob to restart your tvheadend server at night.

Hi C0mmanda,

I played with HTS Tvheadend 3.4.27~gfbda802~wheezy on OMV after your post and got it to work after fumbling around with the settings. The web frontend did not work in Chrome for me. I then tried it on Firefox and it worked. I did not clear cache on either. I'm able to stream to my Android tablet, TVs using XBMC, and Roku devices without issues. Sorry, but I don't own a Mac. Do you have any other devices you can test with such as AppleTV, Roku, or Amazon Fire? That may help troubleshoot your issue. My browser streaming did not work because the VLC plugin wouldn't load on either browser. If your'e using the VLC plugin, that might be what is causing the problem but I cannot say for certain. I'll let it run for a couple of days to see if I run into the same problem where it will not stream to my devices. As for the browser issue, I'll see what I can do with the VLC plugin not working for me. I don't think your issue has anything to do with Nginx or OMV. You can also take a look at the system logs in OMV under Diagnostics -> System Logs -> Logs tab and look at the syslog for tvheadend entries to see if it is crashing or stopping unexpectedly. As David mentioned in his signature, upload your logs the OMV team so they can help you better with your problem. See his link in his signature for more details.

Another thing to look at is if you have installed and enabled the VDR plugin from OMV-Extras. If you do have it installed and enabled it might be conflicting with TVH. Running both VDR and TVH with a single DVB card will not work. The TV card can only be used by one of the applications at a time. Disable VDR and try again if you have it enabled. You might also want to look at the VDR plugin as an alternative to TVH. I have used the VDR plugin for OMV and it works just as well as TVH. The WebGUI built in links makes it easy to manage as well. They also give you a choice how to manage it. This is just my opinion of course.

Good luck on solving your problem! I'll chime in with my results in a day or two.

So after 24 hours TVH has remained up and running. I can still stream to my devices and the VLC app directly in Linux or Windows. Chrome still has a problem in either normal or incognito mode streaming. Firefox also failed streaming. I think the problem here lies with the VLC plugin at least in my case. Everything else worked except for browser streaming. I also tried VDR on my backup OMV with a different DVB tuner and ran into the same problem with browser streaming. I'm not familiar with Safari so if you can tell me what plugin it uses for streaming in the browser, that will help troubleshoot the issue.

The WebUI only worked for Chrome incognito. Firefox still worked fine. At this point I would start looking into the TVH forums to see if anyone else reported these issues. I'll check again tomorrow to see if TVH is still running.
