Cannot open Add/Edit Autorec dialog in Firefox

I'm running TVH 4.3-2375g653bd0400 on a Raspberry Pi Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm) arm64. I access the control site (port 9981) from various devices, but r...

DeltaMikeCharlie Good to hear that I'm not the only one having this problem. I'll keep an eye on this thread, and I'll use MS Edge for those time when I need to add/edit Autorecs till it's fixed.

I've just realised that the other Windows PC that I have which uses Firefox is running V 115.19.0 ESR, not V134 because it's Win7 and V134 is reputed not to work on Win7. So I've only one Windows PC running FF 134. I'll try my Linux PCs tomorrow (Ubuntu, Cinnamon Mint and MX) and see whether they have the fault - assuming they are running V134.

I am standing down from this. There is already a fix under consideration.

I have this problem too and patched it like this.
You have to run the following command in TVHeadend's /share/tvheadend/src/webui/static

cp tvh.js.gz tvh.js.gz.orig; gunzip -c tvh.js.gz.orig | sed 's/RegExp.escape(r.get(this.valueField))/RegExp.escape(String(r.get(this.valueField)))/' | gzip > tvh.js.gz

If something goes wrong copy "tvh.js.gz.orig" back to "tvh.js.gz".

Edit: The above line has to be on one line of course. Unfortunately the Browser breaks it up.

Thank you for posting that. I'm running tvheadend on buster and today I couldn't edit timers. Putting sudo in front of your commands didn't work so I broke it down in pieces and eventually got it to patch my tvheadend.

If I had done sudo bash and then run the commands, would that have worked? I'm not much of a linux guy but I try.

Thanks for a fix

Yes. I can confirm this issue with Firefox 134.0.2 in Linux as well. The patch posted works for me as well. Thank you.

I'm having the same problem with Chrome and Edge. Seeing that there were issues with Firefox, I installed the Opera (portable) browser and it was fixed. I hope they can find a permanent solution to this problem and that there's an update for the Asustor NAS (I have the APP Central version, with no issues until this week).
I hope this helps. Best regards!

jmortiz77 I suddenly started getting this over the weekend on both Chrome/Edge on my desktop, and Chrome on my Android phone.

The temporary solution, atleast for the desktop was found in this github Pull Request.. It worked just fine for me - hopefully the merge it into the codebase and release a new version soon.

Thank you so much for your response!
I'm glad it works for you!
I don't have the knowledge to make those kinds of modifications. In fact, I can't find the "tvh.js.gz" file in my installation (I installed it directly from App Central on an Asustor NAS; it installs automatically on Portainer).
I hope they release updates for the different devices.
Thank you for your help!

tvheadend/tvheadend1786 was merged yesterday and is in the latest releases available from our deb/rpm repo on Cloudsmith.

How about just updating to the latest Tvheadend version instead of messing around with the old version to get the change in manually?

The pi4 is running buster. Is there an upgrade that will run on it? Come this winter, I plan to set up a new pi with latest os and current build but for now, its working.
