Device not found. Ensure your device is powered on and connected to your network.

[nbittmann]

Plex finds the "tuner" but after channels are fetched I'll get the error "Device not found. Ensure your device is powered on and connected to your network." and nothing else works.

Unfortunately there does not seem to be a lot of debugging info

Ah damn, so this is something new Plex is doing?

[nikdoof]

Sorry, I may of got muddled up with another issue i'm having.

The URL its calling is /lineup.post. This seems to be key for it detecting that the device is working correctly.

Are you getting this from the Flask logs? Can't seem to find those. I don't see anything that looks fatal in my nginx log.

I am running into the same issue with plex version 1.7.2.3878 and tvheaded version 4.3-184~g492eb33 If it is a configuration issue I am not sure what I did different than the directions.

I have the same problem on plex 1.7.2

Hi

If i put the ipadres:5004 it will show that the turner is online only cant record any thing.

[mKeRix]

May be related: tried setting this up with an IPTV backend today and got through the whole process, but now I can't actually tune into anything live. Always either gives me a 404 or a -1 (could not tune) error. It works fine if I use tvheadend directly.

I tried recording something but it came up as a still image.

[filoor]

Hi,

Quick update after it fails to record it will give back again "Device not found. Ensure your device is powered on and connected to your network"

[filoor]

Hi,

If i stream the link "http://192.168.154.133:5004/auto/v54" in vlc it works so i think it has to do with the transcode of plex

[filoor]

If i look to this log is it not strange that it looks to the local host my dvr is on 192.168.158.133 Jun 01, 2017 21:59:11.891 [15404] DEBUG - DVR:Recorder: It took 10.4 sec to start the session for http://localhost/auto/v52?transcode=none

• PMS 1.7.2.3878
• HTS Tvheadend 4.1-2405-geb495a0 jessie

[tunip]

You can use now direkt streaming links in lineup.json. You do not need the rewrite of the URL from "auto/v1" to the Tvheadend streaming URL anymore.

Example:

{
    "GuideName": "Das Erste HD",
    "GuideNumber": "1",
    "URL": 
    "http://admin:tvh@192.168.10.10:9981/stream/channel/92f1befd0643cc505d32f61d7df52f42?
    weight=300"
}

Recording and Live TV works fine but I still have this "Device not found".

[tunip]

I think tvhProxy needs something like SSDP to announce it self that Plex can "see" the device.

[filoor]

@tunip

What did you change int the code to do that?

[joey102]

There is a pull request pending for this fork that resolves this issue. It removes the proxy and changes the stream URL used.

You might also have to change any references in the config section from 'localhost' to the local ipaddress, for example '192.168.1.5'.

Confirmed to be working with Plex DVR & Live TV.

[filoor]

i have changed

for c in _get_channels(): if c['enabled']: url = '%s/stream/channel/%s?weight=%s' % (config['tvhURL'], c['uuid'], int(config['tvhWeight']))

        lineup.append({'GuideNumber': str(c['number']),
                       'GuideName': c['name'],
                       'URL': url
                       })

return jsonify(lineup)

[filoor]

Thank you @joey102 will gone look tho that one

[SmoothMC]

ok!? does this mean to remove also the apache proxy vitualhost?

[jkaberg]

fixed in https://github.com/jkaberg/tvhProxy/commit/014ef684c660ae04ad2970d0f75f03e9c051ebcd

[mKeRix]

@joey102 @jkaberg

So I have applied your changes and while I got it to record fine, Live TV is still an issue for me. It just keeps showing me the "Could not tune channel - Code: -1" error. I have tried every variation of the configuration I could think of (while deleting and readding the tuner everytime). The links and user/password combination works fine when I just plug it into VLC Media Player. Firewall allows direct access both TVHeadend and tvhProxy ports from the local machine.

This is my config:

config = {
    'bindAddr': os.environ.get('TVH_BINDADDR') or '',
    'tvhURL': os.environ.get('TVH_URL') or 'http://user:pass@externalip:9981',
    'tvhProxyURL': os.environ.get('TVH_PROXY_URL') or 'http://externalip:5004',
    'tunerCount': os.environ.get('TVH_TUNER_COUNT') or 1,  # number of tuners in tvh
    'tvhWeight': os.environ.get('TVH_WEIGHT') or 300,  # subscription priority
    'chunkSize': os.environ.get('TVH_CHUNK_SIZE') or 1024*1024  # usually you don't need to edit this
}

Do any of you guys see what I'm missing?

EDIT: Just tried the IPTV channel from the UAS and that one works fine with the same m3u and xmltv files as provided to TVHeadend/tvhProxy. Meanwhile the live TV portion of DVR is still spewing up -1 and occasionally 404 errors when posting to the /.../tune URL.

[matbor]

@mKeRix had similar problems as you see my config file here... https://github.com/jkaberg/tvhProxy/issues/15#issuecomment-306679456 I kept the proxy URL has localhost!

[petrmenzel]

Similar problem. I have recorded video to describe this.

Make sure you change your user name (or home directory/install location) in tvhProxy.service before copying it and starting.
