Error trying to watch Live TV

[Terrian]

I am completely new to media servers (never did Plex etc) and this is all a bit overwhelming, plus I am new to Linux (2yr old). So talk to me like I know nothing, please. 

My goal is to simply use JF to watch/record OTA TV from my roof antenna.

Ubuntu 24.04 LTS [minimal install with codecs]
Beelink SR12 Pro 16GB/500GB + 2TB internal SSD 
Jellyfin Server v10.10.3 (static IP)
HDHomerun Flex Quatro (static IP)
(+Schedules Direct)

Issue: When I first installed JF server a few nights ago it could play Live TV for that one night, but ever since it has failed with, "Playback Error: There was an error processing the request. Please try again later." However, Kodi (installed on same PC server) plays Live TV fine.

I am clueless to all the settings and just kept defaults for the most part aside from filling in Static IPs and a few other basic things. Any guidance would be appreciated. And if logs are needed, I will need directions on where they are/ how to obtain them. Apologies for the hand-holding. TIA

Can you share your server logs via pastebin?

[Terrian]

Thanks.. I'm posting here on my laptop, separate from the server (difficult using a mobile keyboard with the server for things like this).

The pastebin would not accept the log saying it was too big... I took the first 503 lines and pasted it in, second 500..
https://pastebin.com/y07T8n5b
https://pastebin.com/UR0wm08m ... but there's over 3000 lines left...

Like I said, I've never done this. Maybe there's an easier way I'm not seeing. I'll leave at the first 1000 lines for now though I wish I could have sent the whole thing.

Code:

[2024-12-05 10:22:36.014 -08:00] [ERR] Error getting channels
System.Net.Http.HttpRequestException: No route to host (10.0.14.13:80)
---> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException (113): No route to host

I'm assuming 10.0.14.13 is your HDHomeRun?

Can you describe your network setup? It looks like your server and HDHR are on the same subnet, based on their addresses.

[Terrian]

Yes and the server is on xxx.14.9 ... I don't know anything about networking or subnets. I just install stuff like directions say and made static IPs in the router like I think I read I should...

But it's odd that the JF server initially DID play live TV with it setup exactly like it is now. Cause I haven't changed anything.

Also FTR I installed the JF media player last night to see if I'd have better luck and it couldn't even find the server. It had a default 198xxx setting I copied in... did not work... so I put in the router's static IP for it.. also didn't work. I realize this is all user error. Just relaying what I did. And thanks for helping.

[TheDreadPirate]

You should be putting in 10.0.14.9 in Jellyfin Media Player. Since that is the IP of the server.

Can you double check that your static IPs for the HDHR were set right and that it is still at .13?

[Terrian]

OK... router still has the HDHR on .13 but I notice there is no 'lease' assigned to it... like the printer (also has a static IP) is turned off and so it has no lease because it's offline. But seems like the tuner should have a lease? It is working though if Kodi is any indication cause tested that again this morning, and again it played live ota fine.

Thanks for that about Jellyfin media -I did try the static IP but I'm not concerned about the media player... if I get JF server working I think the media player will follow.

[TheDreadPirate]

Reboot the jellyfin server? Restart the router? Not sure what else it could be if it works for other devices and apps can connect to it.

[Terrian]

Thanks, you got me on the right track. I'm confident I can work it out now. Problem is the router is assigning a different IP to a second HDHR device... looked closer at the MAC address I assigned to the static IP HDHR and it's different. Since I copy/pasted not sure what the deal is except I just read a device can have two MACs if they have both Ethernet and wifi... whatever... I'll figure it out now! (And change the IP in JF Server Live TV Tuner to the correct one.) Thanks a million.
