HDHR-DVRUI - A PHP/Web Interface to your HDHR DVR Setup

This should probably be posted in the Third Party Software section, under the HDHR-DVRUI topic.

And through the magic of moderator powers, it now is.

Neither, it's the external HDHR-DVRUI web based stuff.

Someone is not checking for the unix epoch zero date (and special casing it as "NULL"/"None"/NaN depending on your persuasion). This should probably be posted in the Third Party Software section, under the HDHR-DVRUI topic.

air date is not provided in this case.
completely cosmetic since start is the important data piece..
will add to the list.. should return something other than 0

How do I change the time zone on a Synology NAS; the DVRUI isn't displaying the correct time? On a Qnap NAS I changed a line in the php.ini file to read date.timezone = "America/New_York". I can't find a php.ini file on the Synology NAS.

Thanks in advance.

Synology doesn't provide option in menus to override date.timezone on my device.. I haven't bothered to look for where it's stored either since, once I set up the regional options under the Control Panel it seemed to be setup ok for me.
I did notice that they do provide date.default_longtitude and date.default_latitude.. maybe you can get it by setting these?? Am not sure.

You can always override in the vars.php file too if you need to.

Thanks for the help. My regional options were set wrong; I changed them using the control panel.

If you haven't seen other posts..
The API with the new beta engine has changed for delete and poke - see viewtopic.php?f=125&t=71542
Will be doing an update and some better handing of multiple engine over coming days..
Just wanted to let you know they are top of my priority list now I got the Engine packages out of the way.
Will include the TZ fixes which are already up on github.

Anyway - as of now.. existing UI doesn't fully support the new beta engine.. use at your own risk.

First,
Apologies to @handyd and @lunar
I've been really busy at work, and all my free time that I dedicate to these has been focused on major updates to the DVR managers. Now done, so I get to focus on this for a little while.

This is the issues found by @airdrummer
Is fixed in the github, and will be in the next release

If I try to use the latest version, I get this error when starting:
Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Undefined class constant 'DVRUI_DEBUG' in C:\xampp\htdocs\HDHR65\includes\dvrui_debug.php:8 Stack trace: #0 C:\xampp\htdocs\HDHR65\index.php(4): require_once() #1 {main} thrown in C:\xampp\htdocs\HDHR65\includes\dvrui_debug.php on line 8

This is a strange one.
Can you check the vars.php file in your installed folder. It should have a line similar to

Code: Select all

const DVRUI_DEBUG = false;

If not - then something went wrong when it should have created that file

you need to make sure the http service can write the .css
i.e. make sure .../themes/default is writable by the http user on your system

Ok, so I've gotten some success by doing that, but still not 100% yet. Now the page is formatted correctly, but I'm still receiving the invalid status error as soon as the page loads. I'm not sure what I'm doing different this time from the last time I was running the UI.

This is what I'm seeing now.

EDIT: Also, I've tried going back a couple of versions with the same results.

500 is basically the web server can't serve the requested resource (file or URL) to your browser.
So something is up with either permissions or bad install.
Make sure your webserver has read access to everything in the install folder
AND has write access to the themes folder
AND has ownership/write access of the themes/default/style.css

there are other possibilities such as external URLs being blocked..
try opening the diagnostics page directly
http://192.168.1.6/hdhr/diagnostics.php

FWIW - will be focusing on this for next few days to get all known fixes in, add container recipe, add list/tiles option on recordings, etc.

Thank you for the assistance. I too have been really busy since you last responded. I opened the diagnostics page as you suggested, and below is what information it provided. I've double checked permissions, and I'm at a loss as to what's going on. It seems like everything should be working, but it's not. What's even more strange, is I did nothing different when setting up this server as I did when I last had the UI up and running.

the diagnostics output is cut short before it dumps the found tuners
so something is wrong as it builds that list.
either it cant write to the cache in /tmp
or cant get to the discover url

Hello,

A new issue came up. My internet went down for a few day. When it finally came back up, HDHR is no longer seeing my DVR. MyHDHomerun and my Apps all see the DVR. It's been a full day since I came back up.

Thanks.

I came here with a similar issue, though in my case there was no Internet outage. Do the known issues with the current DVR beta (just recently delivered from the user-maintained Debian repository) include problems locating the DVR?

- Both the UI and diagnostics page show the tuner device.
- The web UI shows rules (if I add them).
- No recordings are shown.
- my.hdhomerun.com shows both tuner and DVR without issues.
- HDHR apps have no problem finding the DVR.

make sure it has access to the internet.
The DVRUI looks to api.hdhomerun.com/discover to get the relevant discovery data. If that's not accessible it has nothing to work with.

if the DVRUI is detecting the tuners it should be detecting the DVR engine.
The DVRUI was written for multiple record engines, so does work with the latest versions. However, the change to deleting recordings and poking the engine is needed for the interface change. Plan to get to that next weekend when I return to the US.
Try looking at api.hdhomerun.com/discover and see if the record engine(s) are listed. If they're not there then something is up.

I have the same problem as Axxel. Last week I wanted to try out the new record engine running on multiple machines so I upgraded to 20190516beta2. Everything seemed to work fine. A few days later I noticed the HDHR-DVRUI could see my rules and display upcoming recordings but would not see any of my recorded programs. I figured the problem had something to do with switching to record engine 20190516beta2 so I switched back to 20190417 but the HDHR-DVRUI still doesn't see my recordings.

On the machine running the web server I found php-dvrui.log in /temp. It has a bunch of PHP notices and warnings. I tried to copy relevant parts in a code box but Cloudflare won't let me post it on the forum. I uploaded the log to Google drive if you want to take a look.

All the machines are on the internet and running. HDHR-DVRUI is not seeing the recording engine and it' been 2 days. I have rebooted several times as well.
