DVR setup issue

[realcodeguy]

I was a Kickstarter backer ten years ago when the HDHomeRun DVR campaign went up in May of 2015. I think I stopped using it when the campaign free time expired.

Recently I decided to subscribe again; however, when I run the setup program, on the DVR tab the checkbox for NAS install reads "Store recordings on a Western Digital NAS device". I don't have a Western Digital NAS, I have a QNAP. When I click the "NAS Install" button it only finds some of my Zidoo media players, and my Yamaha AVR, but no NAS.

I enabled SSH on the NAS and tried again but it just doesn't find the QNAP.. It is on the same network and subnet as the tuner. I feel like my machine has so older config file or something from the original install that's preventing the setup app from finding my NAS. I can't figure it out so I'm asking for help please.

For most qnaps you would want to use the docker container version rather than using the NAS install option available from a windows machine.

For a device to show up for NAS install, it gets detected by upnp which typically means you must have a DLNA server running on the NAS but the NAS install option will typically only let the engine survive restarts if it is a WD NAS (which is one of the reasons you should look at installing the docker version if possible).

Docker is definitely the best option for QNAP. There are some instructions at https://github.com/demonrik/HDHR-DVR-do ... -Container for converting from the old QPKG install to Docker, but a clean install is basically the same thing except you also need to create a share to hold the recordings if you don't already have one.
