Firewall settings for Tvheadend

CM11ES

I operate Tvheadend 4.3-2229_g6b5defc76 behind a firewall. I would like to know what ports need to be opened.
I opened:

9981 tcp, 9982 tcp (for webgui and stream)
streams of the sat tuners as defined under "Configuration" -> "DVB Inputs" -> advanced settings -> UDP RTP port number (2 pots): e. g. 53000 und 53001
554 tcp for DVB-C stream of Router/Streaming Device
However, this still does not work. There is always on more udp port that needs to be open and which seems to be assigned dynamically. Is there any means to clearly set this port to a defined value? Otherwise a firewall cannot be configured meaningfully.

What is the other port used for? Have a look at the traffic to find that out.

TCP:9981 is basic for WebUI and streaming.
TCP:9982 for HTSP main for Kodi PVR plugin,
No other ports need to be used for end user.

There is always on more upd-port nedded in the range above 30000 (dynamically assigned after each start, thus changing). This port is used to detect the tv adapters. If I close this port, there are no tv adapters shown in tvheadend. This phenomenom has started after updating from tvheadend 4.2.8-36g5bdcfd8ac to tvheadend 4.3-2228gce429efe9 on Ubuntu 20.04 Server. Before the update, you are right, no other ports were needed, but now it is. The tvheadend-process on this "additional" port has the user "hts", whereas the ports 9981 and 9982 are used by "root". This is also strange. Any ideas?

No UDP port's used at all by TVH
But other PC process can do some other.

Flole

Saen Acro That is not correct. UPNP, SAT>IP, RTSP all use UDP.

With of this need to be forwarded to WAN interface?

Flole

Saen Acro It is nowhere mentioned that this question is about exposing Tvheadend to WAN.

I have the same "issue" what Ports exactly TVHeadend needs for searching the TV Adpaters (SAT IP) ?

At this time i have UDP Ports from 40000 to 55000 open for the SAT IP Adapter, but can i define a specific Port ?

For the Adapters itself i can define a port but that is only when TVHeadend has located the whole TV Adapters.

If i restart TVHeadend and dont open the ports 40000 to 55000 no TVAdapter is found...
