Can't connect to HDHomeRun (Network TV Tuner)

[jimal 1]

A couple of weeks ago Emby stopped connecting to my HDHomeRun tuner.  The tuner is visible to the HDHomeRun Roku app, so it wouldn't appear to be a problem with the tuner itself.

Emby could neither "discover" the tuner, nor was it able to connect to it when I put in the tuner's IP address. I also tried disabling DNLA, but no difference.

I've attached a log that was generated after an Emby reboot and attempt to both discover and directly connect via IP address.

Thanks,

Jim

Also:

- I'm running MacOS 15.5.  However, it wasn't able to connect on 15.4x either.

- I've tried upgrading the firmware on the HDHomeRun

- I can connect to the tuner from the same Mac that I'm running the Emby server.

Hi there, are you sure you have the correct ip address for the tuner?

What happens if you put the tuner ip address into a web browser address bar, what comes up?

Yes; I confirmed the address in my router.  And I can access the tuner web-server with a browser from the same Mac that hosts my Emby server.

Here's the tuner's JSON response if I call "http://192.168.1.121/discover.json":

OK -- well, I found the problem.  I guess a previous OS update changed the local network access rights for Emby.

For anyone else who might have this problem check: Settings->Privacy and Security->Local Network.

Thanks and sorry for the turbulence.

Unfortunately I think this can also happen periodically even without an iOS update.
