⁠Summary

Pushes HDHomeRun App's Discovery to another Network accross VLANs

⁠Problem

The mobile app doesn't allow you to enter an IP address.

If you are trying to use HDHomeRUn mobile app from wireless network, you may have issues finding the LAN attach hdhomerun hardware especially if you are NATed or across VLANs.

⁠This Solution

Using as Raspi running Docker. I have the Pi connected in same wifi network as my mobile devices. I run this workload on the wlan0 interface of the Pi and using socat listing on hdhomerun broadcast I forward to the IP of my HDHomeRun tuner appliance on my LAN. Once discovered on startup, the mobile devices no longer need the connection.

⁠Run

Set ${HDHOMERUN} environment variable to the IP of your HDHomeRun Appliance (ex. Flex)

docker run -d \
--name disc-hdhome \
-h disc-hdhome  \
-p 65001:65001/udp \
-e HDHOMERUN=192.168.1.100 \
