Switched Record Engine from Windows to Linux, no recordings

Post by cncb »

I just switched my DVR Record engine from Windows to Linux. I copied all the recordings over and installed the Linux Record engine as instructed. I looked in the Linux-generated log file and it shows that it found the recordings in the RecordPath, but displays no recordings in the HDHomeRun app? Is there some kind of "hook-up" I need to do so the app finds the recordings? I tried rebooting everything. Thanks.

Most likely your Linux system is running a firewall that is blocking communication.

1) Explicitly set the port number in the conf file, for example:
Port=4999
(can be any port number you want).

2) Configure the firewall to allow incoming TCP connections on the port number you chose, and incoming UDP packets on port 65001.

I have Linux Mint where the firewall is disabled by default. Do I need to have an entry for port in the configuration? The instructions only mentioned RecordPath.
