Thanks it happened again and I did need the force not none before clearing the target and the channel.

As a follow up I could connect to the HDHR and BDA could still control and stop them, but that this should be able to be done with hdhomerun_config

Last night I was was doing some BDA development and I mustn't have done a clean shutdown so this morning I see steady UDP/RTP traffic from a HDHR to my Windows PC and booting the Windows PC doesn't stop it

Even without DRM for ATSC 3, since FFmpeg doesn't officially have AC-4 codec support then comskip won't work on the volume and silence changes and I suspect it won't be as good at detecting the breaks. Has anyone tested that?

Or pretty much any PVR most support the HDHR and IPTV these days.

Here is how many times tsduck found the LCN's in a 1 minutes mux https://pastebin.com/X6WKaDaP It looks like they were sent between 1 and 8 times in that minute. The one I noted was sid 0x4a75 which was twice.

I have a test stream that I loop and the LCN descriptor is not always being sent. Sometimes I get the correct LCN and sometimes it it is in the 5000 range depending on which NIT it picks up. Is there a way to wait longer in the HDHR scan?

You can gain a lot of additional information (presuming the device has recent firmware) from the http://<hdhr>/discover.json, and then decoding the json output.

Thanks I don't have access to the API where I am calling from so this is perfect https://github.com/Silicondust/libhdhomerun/blob ...

Is there a way to tell from the device ID if a device is legacy or not? If it is not legacy and perhaps an edge case in my own system can the device ID show if the device is ATSC/QAM vs DVB-T/C?

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 ...
