It was quite happily recording two shows and a live TV channel, plus playing back one of the recordings and the live channel. Ran for about 5 minutes with no glitches or buffering pauses. I stopped one of the playback sessions and a few second later the system crashed and rebooted. The crash report ...

I did a clean install of 10.13 on a Mac Mini and installed all updates. Plugged 4 x 4TB WDC USB drives into the 4 USB ports. Using the Disk Utility RAID assistant I created a RAID1 mirror with the first two drives. The RAID set was created but the system crashed (reboot with crash screen) when it go...

Please install the new 20210301 release - it will fix the problem.

I ran a test on Big Sur with a RAID1 setup on two USB drives - that worked without issue. I have a Mac with 10.13 but it does a screen-of-death when creating the filesystem on the RAID1 array. I will try reinstalling the OS. If that works I will try a 4-disk setup as close as I can to your setup. In...

HDHomeRun RECORD (20210301) * Windows: fix problem in last release causing video glitches playing back recordings. * Mac: add new SendfileDisable=1 option for use with complex disk/filesystem configurations that do not work reliably with sendfile. HDHomeRun Firmware (20210301) * HDVR/HHDD models: P...

For the HDHR5-4K the 20210224 firmware is functionally the same as 20210210.

Not related to the problem seen on Windows (fixed internally pending release). The 20210227 release upgrades the Mac platform to use the sendfile kernel feature which improves playback performance. The sendfile feature really needs the filesystem to be 100% kernel based. Double checking - are the My...

Problem found and fixed. The bug was specific to Windows.

It will be pushed to QA shortly.

Problem reproduced - investigating.

Is the problem seen with both live TV and recordings or only live TV?

Nick

Hi,

What disk is MacOS recording to and what filesystem is it running?

Nick

The captures are perfect - thanks!

I will try to replicate things tomorrow.

Nick

My current best guess is that one of the audio devices is tripping something up.

If you can figure out which device it is we can order one and test it here.

Nick

Does it still crash with the USB DAC device disconnected?
