Problem
On a new install of Eden Upgraded to Frodo cannot get live TV working, Error is no PVR clients started yet.

TVHEAD is the backend running on a QNAP NAS (ARM processor) and from the web interface i can see and watch all channels. I installed tvheadend with no particular user permissions.

I have enabled the TVHEAD addon in XBMC (set the ip addr to my NAS) and when i go to use live TV it errors – usually with something about no PVR client started.

I noticed that for the first 3 or 5 mins the CPU usage was 90% plus
just as i went to use the XBMC Debug log Addon to capture the log file it said it had lost the connection to tvheadend.

First post - on a steep learning curve here so may have made some basic erros

Code:
ERROR: AddOnLog: Tvheadend HTSP Client: Connect - failed to connect to the backend (Operation timed out)

There is something wrong with your network or with the settings (ip, account) of the htsp addon.

Thanks
I see these errors in the log file but in htsp addon i have put the ip of where my TVHEADEND is running. entered no user id and password . Do i need to setup an XBMC user in tvheadend access control and specify that in the htsp config screen?

My network setup is that the QNAP NAS on which TVHEAD resides sits 192.168.1.230
my atv is running on 192.168.1.108.

A windows pc on 192.168.1.250 can connect to the web session of tvhead using 192.168,1.230.9982 and watch all tv channels so it seems as you say the issue is the htsp addon connecting, everything is running on wired connection no wireless,

any ideas on what else i can do, is it worth trying to run xbmc and htsp from my windows box to see if it also has the connection issue ?

i never tried this without adding a user account. I guess this is needed for accessing htsp outside of the webinterface (which we do in xbmc)

Hi again
made a few changes as below and still no luck
added a xbmc user to the QNAP
added a xbmc use to TVHEADEND
set xbmc as the user in the XBMC HTS addon
enabled the hts addon and then exited and restarted XBMC

Still same connection error

then realised that my QNAP has a security feature set on high where you have to allow specifc ip's to connect DOOOH
Soon as i added the apple TV ip it came good or at least i have a live TV channel list
However I cannot actually watch any channels although there are plenty of them
more investigation in progress

thanks for pointing me in the right direction
