i've been trying to get hdhomerun to work in my jail, i was able to get the source code to build using gmake instead of make, and installing the linux-compat libs and make sure to use bash instead of csh.
now the hdhomerun util cannot find the homerun on my network, i have a feeling this has something to do with multicast not available in jails, and with a ton of googling i think using something called vnet might be the answer to my problem but i'm totally lost on how to enable this.

Re: hdhomerun in a jail
Short answer: Wait.
Long answer: Until FreeBSD and Nas4Free standardize and implement the virtual network stack (vnet/vimage), multicasting to jails is not possible. Most network service device is done via multicast, and then the responsible entities respond. In this case, the multicast packets are not being forwarded to the jail properly. VIMAGE is a kernel module, and would require compiling a custom Nas4Free kernel, with unknown implications to the rest of the system.
