Plex jail - TV Headend-ng plugin not working (404 on 127.0.0.1 callback)

[trantoriana]

Hi,

I successfully created and configured a plex jail as replacement for my regular plex VM in another server.

Plex works just fine, but a TVHeadend plugin (https://github.com/realriot/tvheadend-ng.bundle) seem to have problems in the plex jail.

I installed and setup the plugin identical in the plex jail as in my external vm (user, port, settings), and I can successfully see my tv headend channel list.

However, when starting a stream, the new plex jail does not start the tv-headend stream, it throws following 404 error instead:

Sep 06, 2017 23:20:13.539 [0x80c250b00] ERROR - HTTP 404 downloading url http://127.0.0.1:32400/video/tvheadend-ng/:/function/createTVChannelObject?function_args=Y2VyZ........

I know tvheadend and the plugin work because of my main plex installation. The problem must be rooted in setup of the jail itself. Given the 404 it looks like plex is not listening to 127.0.0.1.

Any idea whether and how the plex jail is configured and how this can be fixed ?

Thanks, Tran.

Were you able to figure this out?

Yes, I gotten following tip:

Use LiveTVH https://forums.plex.tv/discussion/271068/rel-livetvh-live-tv-streaming-with-tvheadend/p1 It has content posters and metadata scanning and everything.

it works quite well, though I do not like the posters and metadata on my channels.
So I ditched tvheadend-ng in favor of LiveTVH on the new machine.
