Docker Container - Internal Server Error

[n0012]

From the terminal within the docker container, I can ping the hdhomerun_host.

Any thoughts? Maddox, you think this issue resides on the Docker side or wallop?

Side note - I've tried using HDHRViewerV2, without a lot of luck on the transcoding side. Would be great if wallop could integrate with PLEX as a Channel like HDHRViewer does, and actually render well over mobile connections. http://hdhrviewer.zynine.net/hdhrviewerv2-initial-setup/

This is where it's erring: https://github.com/maddox/wallop/blob/master/lib/wallop.rb#L128

Do you have a section in your config defining channel logos? It should look like this:

[channel_logos]
506 = "cbs.png"
508 = "abc.png"
511 = "fox.png"
512 = "nbc.png"

Why not just use that plugin instead of Wallop?

I haven't found it to work that well. Lots of buffering etc. Hoping wallop will work better.

Well, the whole point of using Plex channels is to pipe it through their transcoder. So I suspect it'd have the same results. You wouldn't actually use Wallop, you'd just use Plex's internal transcoder.

Gotcha. I'll let you know my feedback after I can compare experiences between the Plex Channel and Wallop.

Got it resolved. My working config for a docker container running on OSX is as follows. So far working much better than HDHRViewerV2 - the ffmpeg transcoder must handle real time mpg2 to mpg4 better than Plex's built in transcoder....

I also like the options you offer up in the settings menu to throttle the stream quality when needed.

hdhomerun_host = "10.0.0.50"
hdhr_transcode = false
ffmpeg_path = "/ffmpeg/bin/ffmpeg"
transcoding_path = "/tmp"
port = "8888"
hd_start = 1

[ffmpeg]
threads = 4
acodec = "libfdk_aac"
framerate = "29.97"
h264_preset = "superfast"
hls_time = 2
hls_wrap = 40
options = "-loglevel warning -async 1 -tune zerolatency -flags -global_header -fflags +genpts -map 0:0 -map 0:1"

[channel_logos]
506 = "cbs.png"
508 = "abc.png"
511 = "fox.png"
512 = "nbc.png"

Great!
