What Home DVR requires

Home DVR is a separate recording service that Odyssey connects to. It needs a supported host, writable recording storage, an authorised source and a trusted network connection. Installing the desktop companion does not by itself start a configured recording service.

Home DVR is available in the app version covered here. Cloud DVR, local Live Rewind and Catch Up are unavailable in this version.

Odyssey supplies no media. You must have permission to access, record and, if you use sharing, share the source concerned. Recording and sharing are separate permissions.

Prepare o serviço primeiro

Use o Odyssey downloads page and the installation instructions for your host platform. Keep the host powered, connected and available when recordings are scheduled. Confirm that the selected storage has enough free space and remains accessible to the service.

For the Mac companion, Settings... opens the configuration window. It includes Instalação de Folha, Avaliação de gravação (primeira instalação), Trusted HTTPS origin (existing TLS proxy), Install DVR, TLS / Account, Start DVR e Refrigerar o status.

Install DVR leaves the service stopped. TLS / Account provides certificate validation, account approval and DVR-login setup; those are prerequisites for connecting the player, not optional decoration. Follow the companion’s actual setup result before starting the service. A signed Mac installer being able to open is not proof that your server, storage and source configuration have passed a recording test.

Conheça o endereço do servidor

The app connects to HTTPS. The certificate must be valid, trusted by the client device and cover the address you enter. If the DVR backend listens with HTTP on port 3000, it needs a TLS proxy: enter that proxy’s HTTPS address and port in Odyssey.

Do not enter an HTTP backend address and expect the Trust toggle to disable certificate verification. Trusting an intended server and validating its certificate are separate checks.

A local certificate authority can require explicit trust on each client device. An address that works on the host computer may still be unreachable from the television or an outside network. Check the actual route each client will use.

Conecte-se da app

  1. Use the intended connected Odyssey profile, then open Settings → DVR → Open Home DVR.
  2. Se uma conexão já existe, use Gestão de conexão para revê-lo
  3. Entrar Endereço do servidor e, se necessário, Portas (Opcional). Check the resulting HTTPS address shown below.
  4. Possibilitar Confiar neste servidor HTTPS apenas para o servidor que você pretende usar.
  5. Enter the DVR Nome de usuário e PasswordEntão escolha assinando.
  6. Após a ligação, use Atualizar Se necessário, verificar as fontes, registros e horários disponíveis.

Use credentials configured for the DVR service. Do not substitute a media-provider password. Reconectar a conexão salgada É para uma conexão salvo válida. Parar avançado contém um fluxo de ID de companheiro e código de par para um administrador que forneceu esses detalhes.

Verifique a autorização fonte

A connection can succeed while a source remains unavailable for recording or sharing. The source-permission editor contains Recordes, Restream e Salvação de permissões, sob a autoridade do titular da conta e a política de fonte atual.

The service can report that a source is disabled, unsupported, not configured or changed since its permission was approved. Read that status. Do not assume enabling a local toggle overrides service eligibility or a provider’s conditions.

Finish setup with a short recording of content you are authorised to record. Confirm that it reaches the saved state and plays from Library → Recordings before relying on a longer schedule.

Exemplo trabalhado

An owner runs Home DVR on a Mac and has an HTTPS address that resolves from the Apple TV. They install the service, configure its TLS and account approval, set its DVR login and start it. In Odyssey they enter that HTTPS address, trust the intended server and sign in.

They then verify recording permission for one live source and schedule a short permitted programme. Seeing the programme in Scheduled confirms only that a schedule exists; they also wait for a saved recording and test playback.

Desconectar e resolver problemas

Desligar removes the app’s current connection through its confirmation flow. Disconnecting the player and stopping the recording host are different actions. Use the companion’s service controls when you intend to stop the service.

If sign-in fails, check the address, certificate, DVR credentials and account approval in that order. For a missing action, check source permission and active profile. See DVR troubleshooting antes de apagar as configurações ou horários.

Host-specific Linux, Docker and Windows installation steps remain in their supplied installation guides. The Mac companion’s controls differ from the setup tools on other host platforms.
