Purpose

The HDHomeRun software sends a UDP broadcast out to the HDHomeRun tuner as part of the discovery process. If your HDHomeRun is on a separate VLAN, you need some sort of proxy to push this UDP broadcast out to the target network.

Also socat is a useful tool and maybe you want to cross-compile it for your UDMP(SE)

Compiling socat

In the build directory, there is a Docker file to cross compile a socat binary for the Dream Machine Pro.

docker build -t build_socat . docker run -v $PWD:/tmp/release build_socat

The first command builds the container, and the second runs the container. The container will copy the binary inside the container to /tmp/release. The -v volume mapping will case the file to apper in the current working directory of the host.

Precompiled binary is provided. Use at your own risk.

Setting up the on.boot script

  1. Update the 99-hdhomerun.sh script with the IP address of your HDHomeRun tuner.
  2. Place it in your on_boot.d folder and make it executable.
  3. Reboot your UDMP(SE) or restart the service with something like systemctl restart udm-boot
  4. You can verify the script is running with ps aux | grep "socat"
  5. The HDHomeRun software should now be able to discover the tuner on the other VLAN.

Testing

This was tested with an HDHomeRun PRIME. I do not know if it works with other hardware.
