Are the recordings from ATSC 3.0 encrypted? It would seem that if they are not, media servers like Plex should be able to handle the recordings like any other video. Is this correct or am I missing something?

They are not like any another "video" because of the AC-4 audio so even without DRM ...

Thanks for checking that, I've passed that on to the author. I rebooted my PC a couple of days ago and the scheduled updates have started working.

It would be nice if the BDA dead connection timeout issue could be looked at deeper, the rtp method on Linux seems more stable.

Thanks again.

Thanks for looking.

From the description "The BDA driver detected a dead connection" it does sounds like BDA doesn't timeout on its own and it took NextPVR reintialized BDA on the manual run to make the tuner available.

Can you tell me how long it took 587 to respond after 539 in the earlier ...

At 4:44 you would also see a Linux test using rtp which was successful.

Hours later I still get

Please turn on "send diagnostic information" in HDHomeRun Setup... then we can see what the BDA driver is doing.

OK thanks I just enabled it. You should focus on 10528531-0

I am running a control now, basically you should see an 8197 PID scan with the found PID's being added and running for ...

There is a keepalive system. If the original app terminates the HDHomeRun will drop the lock in about a minute or so.

After terminating the app with taskkill I didn't see it timeout after much more than a minute, that is why I thought BDA internals were potentially keeping it alive. I expect ...

So if BDA locks the tuner and the original calling program fails and is no longer running is there a solution other than reboot?

I am trying to figure out why NextPVR OTA updates fail for me on Windows every night after a connection. In debugging this does using a BDA tuner prevent use from hdhomerun_config on the "hung" tuner? I couldn't do anything with the HDHR until an HDHR reboot. I am running on 172.16.3.3

From the perspective of someone here in Pahrump, like me, who cannot get the Black Mountain transmission, the gold standard has to be RF 33. The RF 14 signal should carry programming identical to that from RF 33. So we can look at RF 33 to see what RF 14 should look like. RF 14 gets its input ...

emveepee

Thanks for that. The rf14 file confirms that there is no PAT (PID 0) in the mux but there are lots of programs in it. Perhaps it is out of spec and send infrequently if it works sometimes. ffprobe is a good tool to view them and with ffplay you can toggle through the audio and video. Do those ...

emveepee

Sorry, but I asked for curl output. ffmpeg is like vlc and will parse the ts file so not a valid test of the mux. However your upload to OneDrive didn't work well either mabye zip them so they are treated as photos.

VLC remuxes which might explain why it can play a bad stream. Maybe try to capture those 30 seconds as a file with curl and place the file on OneDrive or GoggleDrive.

It was @signcarver that noticed it. It is working now and the correct JSON is being returned here.
