Re: Why is my laptop continuously reading 20Mbps from Flex-4K?

Something on the laptop asked the HDHomeRun to tune a channel and stream the full mux unfiltered.

Nothing told the HDHomeRun to stop so it kept doing its job.

Re: Channel plays through VLC but not HDHomeRun app

There is definitely nothing there for 8.3:
ch=8vsb:183000000 lock=none ss=38 snq=0 seq=0

My guess is this channel was picked up in an earlier scan before the antenna was moved.

Can you please run a new channel scan.

Re: Channel plays through VLC but not HDHomeRun app

Can you please try the HDHomeRun app on Windows again... enable "send diagnostic information" in the Settings menu.

Try the channel again then post back with the Device ID of your HDHomeRun.

Re: Why is my laptop continuously reading 20Mbps from Flex-4K?

20Mbps (19.2Mbps + UDP/IP overhead) is what you get if you take the full mux of a physical channel.

The HDHomeRun app doesn't do this but apps that use BDA drivers often do. It is possible for the stream to continue after the app closed if the app terminated without telling the HDHomeRun combined ...

Re: streaming recorded files to a media player app


Each recorded file is a URL, e.g.:
http://hdhr-<device-id>.local/recorded/play?id=<guid>
I would like to be able to paste that into my media player of choice (VLC, etc.) and stream to the computer where the media player is located, without needing the app installed. However, this doesn't work ...

Re: Closed Captions on iPad

Can you please check the app version (different to the UI version)...

Open the App Store.
Tap the icon for your account so it brings up the Account popup.
Tap Apps in the Accounts popup
Tap HDHomeRun - it should indicate which version is installed.

Re: XMLTV guide data

If you tell curl to show full headers it should show the actual error returned by the server.

Make sure you add -H 'Accept-Encoding: gzip' to the curl command line. The server will reject the request if the client doesn't support gzip encoding.

Re: Second hard drive

Drive is not being detected. It is possible the enclosure doesn't support USB 2.0... you may need to try a different enclosure.

Re: Second hard drive

The diagnostics show using a 1TB drive that was confirmed for recordings. Then a 2TB drive was connected which detected fine but it wasn't blank so the HDHomeRun needs your permission to format it.

No record on an 8TB drive being connected.

It looks like the enclosure has a touch power button and ...

Re: Second hard drive

There is no limit to the size of hard drive you can attach.
If the drive is more than 18TB it will create an 18TB partition leaving any remaining space unused.

If the drive is blank it will automatically be formatted. If the drive is not blank it will ignore the drive (to protect the contents ...

Re: Second hard drive

You are doing it right - have the FLEX initialize the new drive so you know it is the right version of XFS with the right mkfs options.

The you can use a Linux machine to copy the contents of the HDHomeRun folder from the old drive to the new drive. Each file is one recording / each recording is ...
