Re: 20260313 DVR

We had to rebuild part of our build system and it wasn't clear if anyone was still using the FreeBSD build.

What version of FreeBSD are you running?

Re: Fast Forwarding Issue - patnick44

This looks to be a bug in the MPEG2 system codec provided by the chipset - it stalls triggering a series of log errors from Android.

I made a change to the app config to block using this codec such that the app switches to software decode of MPEG2 channels. This fixes the stall.

Re: Roku hopeless


I'm investigating for purchase. But Roku problems could be a show stopper.

Not sure if the company provides support here or if it's user support.

Re: Fast Forwarding Issue - patnick44

What exact model of Google device are you seeing this on?

If you have a link to Amazon or similar that would help.

I am testing here on a Google "Chromecast HD" without issue.

Edit - is it a Google TV Streamer 4K? I think I just reproduced the problem...

Re: Why did you remove the channel lights?

Confirming the newer ones do not have tuner LEDs... we stopped doing tuner LEDs on HDHomeRun models ~9 years ago.

The change was made for HDHR5 as it enabled a new case design that is what you see in the HDHomeRun FLEX today.

When the HDHR3-CC was discontinued (the first time) the PRIME case ...

Re: Missing Close Window X Button - larrywalk

Navigation in the HDHomeRun app is based around up/down/left/right, OK, and Back.

The X icon in the top right is only there on platforms with a touchscreen on mouse. On platforms with a remote control the Back button is used to exit any screen.

The HDHomeRun app is trying to play live TV and Windows is returning a MF_MEDIA_ENGINE_ERR_SRC_NOT_SUPPORTED error.

Things to try in this order...

2) Open the Microsoft ...

Re: HDHOMERUN stopped working on Win11 HTPC

Simple thing first - uninstall the HDHomeRun app, then go to the Microsoft Store and install it again from there.

If that doesn't solve the problem I will help.

Re: Roku hopeless

Roku - checking what you mean... does it start playing ok, but at some point playback stops with a malformed data error?

iPad - I am not following. Can you please explain the issue or point to where you previously reported.
