How to disable HdHomeRun discovery

TOXIC TOXIC

Hello,

I'm seeing permanent recurring UDP broadcasts on port 65001 coming out from my raspberry pi, I've now understood this is used by tvheadend to try to discover some device on the network which I don't realy know about called HDHomeRun...

I'd really like to find a way to shut that down, I've read some bug report from back in 2014 stating it had disabled the permanent discovery thing in favor of a single discovery on startup, but I'm using the latest thvheadend available in the raspbian repos : 4.2.4-dmol~bpo9+1~rptl

And I'm still seeing this discovery behaviour about every 30 secs...

I've been looking around in /etc/default/tvheadend and in /var/lib/hts/.hts/tvheadend but I'm not seeing any obvious place where to disable this feature...

Any help in finding out how to stop tvheadend from broadcasting this would be greatly appreciated !

Thanks a lot in advance for your reading and kind help,

Best regards,

Toxic0

Update to latest master, 4.2 most likely never got that improvement/fix.

So if the fix never got in, is there maybe a config option somewhere to disable hdhomerun entirely?

Thanks for the reply and congrats on the reactivity !!!

There is a flag during compilation, but you should rather update than trying to recompile 4.2 with hdhomerun disabled.

I'll get around to updating to the latest master, going outside prepackaged will take me some time though... Was hoping for some settings somewhere...
Will report back when I have built the latest master

I'm looking at the current tvheadend code (4.3), but I do not see any way to disable the broadcasts at runtime. Is there anything I'm not seeing, or is the recompilation the only way to do it?
I also do not see any requests on the issue tracker, although some people have asked in the past about this.

I never got to actually disable it, I'm running tvheadend on librelec and the convenience of not having to build it is just too much for me to care about, even if that pollutes my firewall logs significantly. Sorry I haven't better news ;)

Thank you for your response. It seems that opening a new issue on the tracker is warranted, since I can't find one that addresses this specific issue.
