Connect Odyssey to Home DVR

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.

首先準備服務

使用 The 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, 設置... opens the configuration window. It includes 安裝文件夾, 存儲存儲(初安裝), Trusted HTTPS origin (existing TLS proxy), Install DVR, TLS / Account, Start DVR 和 更新狀態.

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.

瞭解服務器地址

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.

連接到應用程序

1. Use the intended connected Odyssey profile, then open Settings → DVR → Open Home DVR.
2. 如果連接已經存在,使用 管理連接 要審查它。
3. 進入 服務器地址 而且,如果需要的話, 港口(可選). Check the resulting HTTPS address shown below.
4. 能 Trust this HTTPS server 只適用於您打算使用的服務器。
5. Enter the DVR 用戶名 和 密碼然後選擇 登記.
6. 連接後,使用 刷新 必要時,檢查並查看可用的來源、記錄和時間表。

Use credentials configured for the DVR service. Do not substitute a media-provider password. 重新連接保存的連接 這是一個有效的保存聯繫。 先進的配對 包含一個單獨的伴侶ID和伴侶代碼流,對於已提供這些信息的管理員。

查看源許可

A connection can succeed while a source remains unavailable for recording or sharing. The source-permission editor contains 記錄, 雷斯特里姆 和 保存許可根據會計主管權和現行源政策。

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.

工作例子

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.

連接和解決問題

斷開連接 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 刪除設置或時間表之前。

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.
