Help regarding TV-Server & FreeNAS

[Hisma]

hxall, I did your trick of uncommenting the "mod_cgi" line in my httpd.conf. That helped, I no longer got the "file not found" error, but instead it gave me a "403 forbidden" error.

So I checked /var/log/httpd-error.log. It gave me a nice descriptive error "ExecCGI not enabled for directory ../mythweb.pl".

I tried adding "Option ExecCGI" to the <directory> portion of my httpd.conf, but it still gave me the same error.

After googling around a bit, I found out that simply appending -

Code:

<Location />
   Options +ExecCGI
</Location> 

to the end of httpd.conf was enough to fix it. Again, feels like a dirty fix, but all this jail does is run mythtv & mythweb, so I'm okay with it.

Man, what a pita to get it all set up. I don't have issues w/ fast moving scenes btw. I also use an hdhomerun prime. My provider is comcast. No issues there.

I also realized I had mod_php56 already installed, so I need to update my personal notes to reflect that.

Glad you got it working... interesting how you got there, I didn't need to do that, but my mythweb.conf includes at the bottom:

<Files *.pl>

SetHandler cgi-script
Options +ExecCGI​

</Files>

I expect that this tells apache to allow execution of CGI perl scripts...

BTW Hisma, what firmware version do you have in your HDHomerun Prime?

I'm using 20150127beta1 firmware.

If you are having issues with blurring with fast motion, I'd try checking your de-interlacing settings in vlc. De-interlacing is off by default, according to the vlc wiki
https://wiki.videolan.org/Deinterlacing

Same with whatever other app you are using to watch the videos. Make sure deinterlacing is turned on, as live TV needs to be deinterlaced (many apps have it on by default which is why you may not think to mess with it)

Thanks Hisma, that was it, both Kodi Helix and VLC were set to deinterlacing off, once I changed the setting all is good...
