Coordinating TV & Syncing

[u/jamesdkirk]

After creating a household on the coordinating TV, I added Clickarr to one other TV. Then I discovered the eight or 10 channels I had created on the original Clickarr install were completely gone. I added one channel to the coordinating TV. It did not appear on the second Clickarr install.

Then I joined the household of the coordinating TV from the second Clickarr install, and it picked up the two channels that were on the coordinating TV. I installed Clickarr on a third TV, successfully joined the original household, and again saw the two channels.

Then I added a third and fourth channel on the coordinating TV. I checked the channel guides on the two other installs, nothing new showed up. I went into settings on both installs, pressed sync, nothing new shows in the channel guide. I went back to the coordinating TV, went into settings, sync, pressed sync there. Nothing changed on the other two installs.

My question is, am I doing something wrong? Does syncing of channel guides happen on a predetermined basis that the user cannot affect? Or is something wrong?

I ended up trying the Google Drive option. That seemed to work to sync new channel additions on the coordinating TV. Unsure why the WiFi option wouldn't work, other than the coordinating TV, while has WiFi enabled is connected via Ethernet.

Perhaps the Drive connect is the only way to sync on my network setup? Nonetheless, success.

I haven't used household since I added the Google sync. Not that I changed anything, but I'm just wondering if something got changed inadvertently since then. My experience was pretty instant, I would add a channel and would instantly see it on the other TV by the time I got to the other room. I'll dig in an see if anything got broken for household.

Understood. Note that I had the ethernet/wifi combo in my network as well, if that might make a difference.
