Webif and terrestrial channels

Fearless

I've been having an issue with displaying terrestrial channels in Webif. They won't display at all anymore. It started a while ago and I would play around a bit and it would finally show the channel list, Now I can't get it to show at all;

It happens with all the Edisions and Octagons with ATSC tuners. Running TNAP 5.1 and 6. One of my locals went from VHF to UHF and I want to download the M3U files for streaming to the PC. They will scan in just fine and play on the STBs but won't show on Webif. Now when I click on the streaming icon for satellite channels it no longer downloads an M3U file but opens another browser window for streaming but fails to do so. I can't figure what's happening here.
 
FWIW, there was a time when TNAP 5.1 didn't support my Hauppauge 950Q USB tuner on my Edision Mio+. But it works fine now with TNAP 6 either directly on the receiver or when using Webif. For streaming, I have disabled "Require authentication for http streams" using either Webif or in Menu>Setup>System>Customize. I did this only so I didn't have to enter my root/password credentials each time I stream as requested by a popup window from Potplayer, VLC, etc.

Thanks for the reply. I found a work-around to get the M3U files downloaded for streaming my locals. I used the full remote remote display in the menu to view and change channels. Then right click on the streaming icon for current channel playing and "save link as" I did not have the "require authentication" box checked and never encountered the password prompt. Me thinks some recent changes in Win11 may have caused some of the strange behavior I have encountered with webif lately.
 
All I have to do is click the tv screen or phone icon in the top left and it triggers a file download. This "file" is nothing more than a glorified stream link. You may want to try deleting and re-scanning the ATSC channels if the satellite channels are working correctly.

I know this as it is the way I have always done it before. But it is not working like before. I've tried different computers and different receivers. Something changed and it wasn't me. The only thing changed is windows 11 on all four of my computers. :(
 
Windows may be seeing that stream file as a pop-up or something malicious. You may try re-scanning ATSC or even updating to the 1101 image that is in the feeds now. The image though I doubt is the problem, but some updates to OpenWebif have been done lately (last month).
 
That's what got me started into this mess, rescanning ATSC for my locals that went from VHF to UHF last night. I have three receivers with Hauppauge tuners and rescanned them all. All of them won't show terrestrial channels in the webif channel lists. It tries but just shows "loading" and never shows the list. I can make the locals a favorites list and they still don't show, just "loading". Works normally when viewing on the TV using a remote. Like I said I can work around and download the streaming links and they work fine, just can't access it the way I used to. Not a big problem at this point but makes me wonder.
I do need to update the image as it has been months.
 
Yes the satellite channels play. The ATSC channels play. That was never a problem. The problem was the ATSC channel list wouldn't display in Webif like it used to and like the satellite channels still do. I can pull them up with a "full remote" in Webif like it shows on the TV but not with the terrestrial & satellite lists under the television button in Webif.
 
Update/upgrade just one receiver and see if anything changes. There has been over 30 versions of TNAP 6 put on the Server...Let's see what the latest one does. Be sure to backup first in case you want or need to restore!

I use Windows 10 only. I won't be "upgrading" to 11 until I buy a new computer even though Microsoft has declared the 10 World is dead. Too much potential for app issues considering all the things I do with my PCs.

I was reading an article on Tom's Hardware about bypassing hardware checks and installing Win 11 on a Win 10 machine. They showed a few methods, even an official MS method. I have a couple Win10 HP mini PCs serving sat feeds that were just minus the next gen CPU for Win11 requirements. So I picked "Rufus" to create Win11 install media for these PCs. Did an upgrade and kept my apps and files. One of the PCs needed a chipset driver from Intel when finished but that was the only thing that came up. Worked real well.
