Thank you for elaborating more on that. I personally wouldn't be affected by this so I have no dog in this race.

Perhaps asking this on BlueSky may get more engagement?

Could you elaborate on this? Is this more like on Pl3x where you can download a show from the server on to devices?

Are you saying you can run the DVR Server on Android devices like phones or STBs? I wasn't aware that you could store recordings on Android devices.

I think it would be nice to ...

Interesting. I have not had that issue on my RockTek G2 (SEI804) or Xiaomi TV Stick 4K.

I have it opening fine on all of my devices. Firestick HD, 4K & Max, MiBox, Shield.
All are in recorded view on startup.


Hmm. To add to this, I am also seeing this on my windows machine as well. I ...

Looks like the option is there, but it is not working on either of my Android devices. I change the setting, close out of the app, go back in and I am brought right back to the guide.

This will be a welcomed change!

May we also get the "Start in Recorded" option back as well?

That should already be there, I just needed to change it back after the latest UI update.

Any way to verify that the record engines are communicating with each other?

I cannot speak for the other NAS, but on the Unraid server, in docker, when you click on the HDHomerun DVR and click on WebUI, does it show both engines under discovered devices?

For future - just stop the container, and delete the record engine from dvrdata binding then start the container and all should be good.

If I recall correctly, I tried this and it still wasn't updating until I removed it and re-added it. Mind you it was not a huge deal as it took ...

New version 0.2.4 now posted to latest
You may need to force update

Fixed issue where for first time installers there is no current version of the record engine and it caused the version checks to error and not install the engine
Fixed issue where the beta URL download provides the stable driver ...

Posted over in parent forum https://forum.silicondust.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=77403 that beta link is broken.
This highlights an issue with the scripts. Should recognize a 0 file size and only update if the download is valid.
Will work on a fix.
For now do not restart if you use beta engines, or ...

I cannot say if you have such configured to properly check for betas (or even if the docker has such "option" but have seen it saying it will check such from other posts)

You can check for latest beta with the container.
Set Beta engine to 1 (0 is off) the UI manager or edit the dvr.conf in ...

SD is supposed to modify on their server to always pull the latest that way you don't need to specify version number. (when I specified version it did appear to pull the newest)

I cannot say if you have such ...

Thanks for that. I will wait to see if it gets updated. I feared my setup was setup incorrectly and that was why I was not getting the update.
