Could not tune channel. Please check your tuner or antenna.

Im running Locast2Plex on my Synology in a docker container. I couldnt get it to work with the Docker image natively in the DS but the Docker command in the installation worked.

Got through the setup, added the tuner, selected the Locast OTA Broadcast, shows the channels and the guide. When I try to watch something in Plex I get the error "Could not tune channel. Please check your tuner or antenna." I did donate and I can watch live on locast directly. Nothing jumping out in the logs.

Similar issue. Using Terminal. I was able to add and scan for channels. However whenever I try to watch something. "Could not tune channel. Please check your tuner or antenna."

Im a novice when with Python. Im guessing this is the issue I need to fix "OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory" Im unclear as to how.

was able to figure it out.. i was installing ffmpeg manually.

but i installed homebrew and had that install ffmpeg

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"
brew install ffmpeg

What version of ffmpeg is installed? I am having the same problem, but I have been unable to resolve. I have ffmpeg installed via brew as well.

Mine is running in a docker container... does it need ffmpeg installed?

Running docker container. Also having same issue.

I was having this same issue within docker as well. I resolved it by setting 'plex_accessible_ip = locast2plex' in the config.ini file. locast2plex being the container name so it is resolvable.

I was having this same issue within docker as well. I resolved it by setting 'plex_accessible_ip = locast2plex' in the config.ini file. locast2plex being the container name so it is resolvable.

That didnt work for me.

I, too, have the same issue. FYI, I have ZERO programming experience, but I can sometimes follow instructions. My scenario... Synology NAS running Plex server, installed Locast2plex version 4.2 via Synology's built in Docker. EPG loads but can't get Plex to tune. I assume it's because I don't have FFMPEG installed, but I don't know how (through Synology). However, I do notice that the time stamp in the L2P log is 7 hours ahead (it's 14:30 right now, log shows 21:30), so perhaps that's an issue? Any help for this floundering fish is appreciated.

Several different possible problems listed in this issue. Couple notes:

If you're using the docker image (tgorg/locast2plex from Docker Hub) you do not need to do anything extra for FFmpeg. It's included in the image.
Running on a Synology NAS is a little bit of an odd duck environment. The Synology Plex 'package' runs directly on the NAS, while the docker container runs in an isolated bridge with only the ports in the container configuration exposed through from the host to the container. DMS already runs a UPnP service on UDP\1900, so that can't be exposed from the container without disabling the UPnP services in DMS, or using an alternative Docker network type (like macvlan).

Anyway, if you're running on a Synology, just to make sure there aren't any config issues:

Is your Plex server on the NAS? If so, are you running the Synology Plex package, or a Plex docker container?
What do you have configured for the plex_accessible_ip and plex_accessible_port in the config.ini file? (unless you're doing some non-bridge networking this should typically be the IP of your NAS)
Is the plex_accessible_port mapped in the docker configuration? (see below)
Just to validate\sanity check, go to http://`plex_accessible_ip`:`plex_accessible_portin a browser. What is returned in the ` field?
What IP:Port are you using to add the tuner in Plex?

I couldnt get the locast2plex docker container to run natively on the Synology through the docker UI (it would just keep restarting), so I ran the docker command in the instructions and it created it, and works.

My plex server is running on a separate Fedora server. 192.168.1.101.

My Synology IP is 192.168.1.102, port 6077 is configured in the locast2plex docker container.

My plex_accessible_ip is 192.168.1.101 but I dont have the plex_accessible_port configured.

Halfway through typing checking some settings, I changed the following and now it works.

plex_accessible_ip=192.168.1.102 (IP of my Synology, it was 192.168.1.101) The external_addy was 192.168.1.102 in the docker container, I changed it to 192.168.1.101.

Not sure which one fixed it, but Im guessing it was one of the 2. Maybe add more descriptive notes on which one does which?

Ahh, yup I could definitely refine the readme. plex_accessible_ip is the IP address of the locast2plex server, not the IP address of the Plex server (my thought for naming it that way was "the IP that Plex can use to access locast2plex")

Also note, the external_addy argument isn't necessary anymore.

I am having this issue , but running Windows error is =

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

I have seen it actually show the correct device status as if it was a physical tuner connected, but I didn't change anything to get there, nor did I change anything since then and it's back to device not found.

When attempting to launch a live program I receive Playback Error Could not tune channel. Please check your tuner or antenna. I've attached the plex log for when I attempted to play a live program. I chopped it in an attempt to only include the time period in question, but let me know if I'm missing data I should include. Plex Media Server.log The docker container log for locast2plex shows no new entries

Hopefully this helps determine where the problem lays. Anything I can provide to help, just let me know!

@zathrath03 Could you change the plex_accessible_ip value to 127.0.0.1 in config.ini, then restart the docker container, then retry adding the tuner in Plex?

@cguay What version of Python are you running?

@tgorgdotcom

BLUF: I was able to get everything working.

Background: My config file has been updated as follows:

[main]
locast_username = <redacted>@gmail.com
locast_password = <redacted>
plex_accessible_ip = 127.0.0.1
uuid = twuolptv

The docker container wouldn't start. Unfortunately, the docker implementation in Terramaster isn't robust, so the docker log doesn't reflect the reason it won't start, simply the fact that I directed it to enable. Nothing appears in the container's log at all. I tried deleting all the environment variables from the container creation (since it appears they're not longer required with the change to the config file) and the container still wouldn't spin.

Deleted and downloaded a new image and attempted to spin up a new container using the following settings:

--General
---Container name: locast2plex
---Enable automatic restart: true
--Volume
---File/Directory: /mnt/md0/appdata/locast2plex/config.ini
---Loading path: /app/config.ini
---Read Only: false
--Network: bridge
--Port Settings
---Local Port: 6077
---Network Port: 6077
---Type: tcp
---Local Port: 1900
---Network Port: 1900
---Type: udp
--Environment
---PATH: /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
---LD_LIBRARY_PATH: /usr/local/lib:/usr/local/lib64

Same result. The container created, but did not start despite giving no indications as to why.

I deleted the container, edited config.ini back to plex_accessible_ip = 192.168.50.144, and spun up a new container with no problems. I edited the config.ini back to plex_accessible_ip = 127.0.0.1 on that existing container and hit restart and it restarted no problem. Log showed:

The channels are visible in Plex and tunable, so everything seems to be working at the end of it. Thanks!

Running on Windows 10 64 bit Python 2.7.18 , reinstalled off github , i am still getting the issue.

here is my config.ini , [main] locast_username = XXX locast_password = XXXX plex_accessible_ip = 127.0.0.1 uuid = nnvmijkr override_latitude=42.578106 override_longitude=-70.925290

I had a similar issue and was able to get it to work by using the terminal command:

sudo python main.py

locast2Plex: 0.5.3 Plex Server: 1.20.1.3252 MacOS: 10.15.6

I was having the same problem until I read the comment above from FozzieBear that said:

Just to validate\sanity check, go to http://plex_accessible_ip:plex_accessible_port in a browser. What is returned in the field?

I tried it and it gave me in the URLBase field 127.0.0.1:6077:6077, so the 6077 port was doubled, and that was in the config.ini file. I had in the config.ini file 127.0.0.1:6077, I removed the :6077, restarted the container and it all works now. I am not a developer nor a programmer, just an average person that has been spending hours trying to set this all up and figure this all out and OMG, I was about to give up until I read this. The simple things...

I was receiving the same error on a Mac with a manual Terminal install: "Could not tune channel. Please check your tuner or antenna."

The fix for me was to make sure ffmpeg, and supporting apps, were installed. I followed the instructions in the video below and that fixed the issue for me. Don't forget to stop and restart the locast2plex python script after you have finished. Hope this helps others!

@tgorgdotcom I'm having the same issue. I have Plex server setup on a Mac mini and configured locast2plex on the same server. I'm able to successfully add the tuner to Plex and refresh the guide. When I go to play the connect, I get the same error 'Could not tune channel. Please check your tuner and antenna.". I have ffmpeg installed based on the instructions from the YouTube link in the previous post.
