Thanks Ned and Sorry for the delay! Which device ID do you need? Should I turn on send data on everything?

The system is working OK now. I think I would need to stop the record engine on the Synology to try to duplicate the problem.

here are the IDs for the Tuners

Thanks Nick.
But that is not what happened. The reason that I set up 3 record engines was just for the situation that occurred. (losing a single device). All I got was a black screen when selecting a channel. I force closed the client. But that did not help. As I mentioned all of the tuners and two ...

The channel list comes from the tuners... if a record engine is detected, it will use a record engine for live. That engine needs to be able to stream and have access to the channel selected (double check you didn't disable recording on an engine). For cablecard drm, it must be marked properly or ...

Here is my setup. I have three tuners. A duo, a Quatro and a 4K. I have three record engines 2 run on Nvidia Shields and one on a Synology NAS. I set them up that way for failover.
I have all of the tuners and record engines running the latest versions of software and firmware.

Last night I could ...

I just wanted to report that I found that 20250603 App/20250818a (UI) seems to have fixed the black screen 30 to 40 second delay opening Live TV issues... On two different Windows clients. Unfortunately the problem is still there on my Galaxy Phone and Shield android clients 20250708 app with the ...

Black. And 20250818a fixed my issue with the 30 to 40 second delay opening live TV after the splash screen. At least with the Windows client.

Wellsame version on my Galaxy A54 still has the delay... Will need to try other Android devices.
Thanks for that.

I thank you for the comprehensive reply.
OTH I don't think that I can justify blowing my whole system up that has been working fine for years until SD made recent changes. Especially when I suspect that it might not fix anything.
I have verified that the updates are there on all of my devices. I ...

I have gotten no reply or acknowledgement on this continuing problem.

I would like to know if SD is aware that the most recent up date has not fixed the 15 to 30 second black screen delay when opening Live TV.

Another thread reporting the same problem was marked as Solved. I just want to make sure ...

I know this is a known issue and I posted the below in an existing topic. Then I noticed it had been labeled as "Solved" No idea if anyone will look at it So I will try a new topic.
Hopefully this does not violate any rules.

The issue has not been fixed for me with the current release. I am getting ...

Fixed in app release 20250708:

The issue has not been fixed for me. I am getting a 15 second or so black screen on startup with two Nvidia Shield Pro 2019 units and a couple of Win 10 client setups (20250603). Which I just forced an ...

Yeah I keep coming back to this thread to see if there is any progress on resolving the issues with the HDHomerun 4K boxes that keep me from watching the three out of 4 local ATSC 3.0 stations. I haven't seen anything that helps me with that in quite some time. It would be great to get some official ...

Thanks for the explanation and help getting this thing updated.

Got it. I wrote instruction for deleting the files from TMP. If I have issues going forward, I will try that first. Any idea why it doesn't get deleted? I just tried it. Upon restarting the service I looked at the log. It says it is deleting the old version at startup.

HDHomeRunDVR: Lets remove any ...

Yeah, I understand that. But, I had stopped the DVR software from the package center several times over the last couple of weeks and it did not update.
Double click >Stop. Then let it stop, and once it shows as stopped, click to run.
Maybe I am stopping it incorrectly?

I decided to try an easy fix first. I had noticed previously that the engine updated after rebooting the Synology. I did that, and sure enough it updated to the correct version.
