I'm making some progress on my tvheadend problems. I've managed to retrieve a log file from the FireTV and it has log lines like:
21:38:05.039 T:18446744072835107104 ERROR: AddOnLog: Tvheadend HTSP Client: pvr.hts - unable to connect to 192.168.1.83:9982
Now if I look in the journal on my linux box using YaST, I see apparently relevant entries but it won't let me select them!!!!!! :( STUPID YAST.
you have a way with words, maybe better and not dissing the devs: STUPID <USER>
So off to find a way to look at the journal that WILL let me select text ...
OK, I found journalctl, so here's an example:
Aug 07 13:23:21 acer-suse kernel: SFW2-INext-DROP-DEFLT IN=eth0 OUT= MAC=d8:cb:8a:9c:3a:a5:60:6d:3c:05:af:5b:08:00 SRC=192.168.1.82 DST=192.168.1.83 LEN=60 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=7538 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=57413 DPT=9982 WINDOW=65535 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0 OPT (020405B40402080A089E4F7C0000000001030306)
from above "SFW2-INext-DROP-DEFLT", you need to open the port, "DPT=9982" for incoming traffic.
Now 192.168.1.82 is my FireTV, 192.168.1.83 is this linux box where tvheadend is running and port 9982 is the HTSP port of the tvheadend server.
So it looks like my box is helpfully :( dropping these packets. The question is why?
the port is colsed, SFW2-INext-DROP-DEFLT
As far as I know I'm not running a firewall, so I go to YaST to check and see a Firewall Configuration box with a popup saying it is trying to connect to a firewalld and then an error (and again YaST won't let me select any of that text - what is that all about?).
SFW2 is SuSEfirewall2
So as they say, WTF? What is going on here. Why is my machine dropping packets when I haven't told it to and apparently haven't even got a firewall installed?
apparently you do an don't know it. systemctl status SuSEfirewall2 -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
