HDHR tuner scan

What:

A command line utility to scan a HDHomeRun tuner and report the channels found

Contents:

• channel_scan.sh and channel_report.sh from https://github.com/shmick/TV_Stuff

Usage:

In order for hdhomerun_config to discover the HDHR Tuners on the network, the container needs to use host networking

Auto discovery is not possible with Docker on MacOS, so an IP of a tuner will need to be used.

Run a scan (default behaviour)

$ docker run --network host ghcr.io/shmick/hdhomerun-scan

Run a scan using the IP of a tuner

$ docker run ghcr.io/shmick/hdhomerun-scan channel_scan.sh -d <IP of HDHR>

Log the results to a CSV file

$ docker run -v $HOME:/app/data ghcr.io/shmick/hdhomerun-scan channel_scan.sh -d 192.168.1.31 -l data/homerunlog.csv

Run a report on the CSV file

$ docker run -v $HOME:/app/data ghcr.io/shmick/hdhomerun-scan channel_report.sh data/homerunlog.csv
