Casting HDHomeRun / IPTV to Rivian display screen - my solution

[tjrivian]

@dfacto I spun this up via docker, but I'm getting the following error. Any idea what might be causing this and how to fix it?

It barfs on anything >1080

Ah ha! That's why I hadn't seen any issues: the vast majority of my content is at 1080 already.

Thanks for putting in the work to put this together!

How does one cast to the Rivian when the server running netv is on a home network behind a router/firewall. I can make a vpn connection on my phone into my home network, but then I don't think I can cast that to the Rivian, because the Rivian will not be on that vpn. Is there someway to workaround this?

Expose the server to the internet.

Apologies for the bug. This should be fixed now; do a git pull.

Thanks. Did a git pull and redployed and it's now working! Putting in my xtream source didn't work automatically though, I had to click each of these 3 refresh buttons manually. I also originaly set "max_streams = 2", but then changed it to 0 before clicking the refresh buttons, so not sure whether that had any impact or not.

Anyway, looks great so far though! I was able to stream a few different channels. Need to figure out the best way to prune the massive list of channels down to something manageable.

Is there any way to set the timezone?

I also don't see the cast button on the bottom right of the video playing screen. Is there anything that needs to be done to enable casting?

Ummmm, no.

 

[godfodder0901]

Ummmm, no.

Ok... Then how do you think the Rivian is going to access said server?

Sorry about the bugs. Can you file an issue for these?

You can only cast if your server is https. (Blame google--nothing I can do about it)

Sure I will file an issue on the github for needing to do the manual refresh. I figured out how to do the timezone, no issue there.

My server is https. First time I've ever done that, but I jumped through all the hoops to setup a cloudflare tunnel, nginx proxy, install a cert, etc. When accessing my server, chrome shows it's a secure site - so I'm pretty confident that https is setup properly. But even so, I'm not getting the chromecast button on the playing video. I can use chrome "tab casting" and it works, but that's not really useful for video due to low quality/framerate.

In that case Im stumped. It does work for me... Ill poke around and try to see whats up. If you can have Claude help you debug it that'd be even easier. (Its very very hard to guess what could be all the issues on a remote system. Or put differently, Ive already made my best guesses.)

neTV now supports AI upscaling! (Its a WIP; the results are mixed.)
