Besides the well-publicized command to start video streaming, is there an HTTP command equivalent to the hdhomerun_config.exe command , i.e., just to set the tuner to the channel but without initiating a stream?

It still says nothing on the webpage about DRM (and the diagram shows the TV connected via HDMI).

The recording engine is still logging superfluous phoning-home activity every 10 minutes when the PC is awake. I hear you that it's "understood", but is it fixable anytime soon?

It should not be checking every 10 minutes... that suggests the record engine thinks the sync failed triggering a faster than normal retry.

The sync is required because the guide servers need to know what images to keep around for recordings to have images.

Nick, do you need more information ...

Open to feedback - what features/areas do you think there is room to improve on? I hope that you have this already on the to-do list?

The record engine already supports playout only operation (ie disabling recording) by setting the RecordStreamsMax to 0 in the conf file.

We can't disable ...

so you really just want a DVR playout engine - not record engine.
i.e. something to parse the metdata on the TS files in a folder structure, provide a recordings list, and stream requested recordings (and stay awake ;)) to the client, all through HDHomeRun APIs to the client.
Makes sense.
Now we ...

@rikd, thanks for your reply. Since you're new to this conversation, some background seems to be in order. CW_EPG, my HDHR PVR app (user manual here ), has been using HDHR tuners (and others before there were HDHR tuners) for many years. It handles scheduling and recording sessions via Windows ...

I see from the logs that the DVR engine creates that it rather frequently "phones home" to find out, among other things, whether I've subscribed to the DVR service. Given that I only intend to use the HDHomerun viewer app to play local recordings, that seems unnecessary O/H for both Silicondust and ...

Thanks for the additional info. I have to apologize for misleading folks about the progress bar's mis tracking. It turns out that is only an issue on the LG TV-hosted app, which is a shame since that's the one that does AC4 audio!

Thanks, Ken! I assume that you then see the progress bar move proportionately during file play, right?

The actual time the recording started or ended is not stored. Thanks, Nick. That's what I guessed they were, and is what I used. But using those values in an unedited recording still doesn't seem to give a proportionate display of the progress bar in the player. And then I have the question of what ...

No. Please tell me how they should be calculated.
