Re: Need Help -- Reception conundrum (either too strong or too weak!)


Separately, I would very much like to be instructed on how, exactly, I would "modify broadcast to unicast" in this situation/setup. I really have no idea how to do that.

It would be an option on your Asus wifi router - typically under advanced options of the wifi settings.
If it isn't there ...

Re: Need Help -- Reception conundrum (either too strong or too weak!)


So, problem solved... mostly. But this is still perplexing and I'd like someone to explain it to me. I do know a bit about networking, and I do know quite completely about the essentially unreliable nature of UDP (and I understand that HdHomeRun output streams are sent out via UDP), however I have ...

Re: QNAP QPKG for DVR Record Engine

This project was more or less abandoned about 5yrs ago
Sources are available https://github.com/Silicondust/dvr_install
Note - is just the wrapper which downloads the latest DVR engine and installs/configures.

The preference for QNAP is to use the container on docker station

Re: Technicolor/InterDigital Advanced HDR Support?


I have a Samsung TV and Apple iPad, Mac Pro, and iPhone. The TV is connected to a Google 4K Streamer running the HDHR app (and could also use a Firestick 4k Plus). However it appears that it’s well known that Samsung doesn’t support Advanced HDR, choosing the open HDR 10 and HDR 10+. Similarly ...

Re: Technicolor/InterDigital Advanced HDR Support?


Thanks. Still not quite sure what Advanced HDR does.

Advanced HDR is HDR input which is down converted to SDR (typically - there are 3 modes) through a particular set of Look Up Table (LUT) entries.
Because the LUT entries are known the inverse is also known and the index to the entry to ...

Re: Signal Strength App


It still does not seem to want to install with Bridge as the default. Here are the steps that I performed:

Stopped the docker
Removed the docker (with the 'also remove image' checkbox checked
From the community Apps screen, clicked on 'Previous Apps', then 'Docker'
Checked the checkbox next ...

Re: Signal Strength App



I just pushed an updated template. The new one should use bridge mode by default with the correct port mappings.
Hmmm, I just removed the docker and then installed it again. It's still installing as a "Host" Network Type. Maybe I need to try again later?

You will need to delete your local ...

Re: Signal Strength App


I think I'm in a catch-22. From what I can tell, Unraid will not allow you to override the port number when the container is set to host mode. If I set the container to bridge mode, I can override the port number, and I can bring up the HDHomeRun signal monitor website, but it does not find any of ...

Re: unofficial Docker Container for Record Engine


For the installation: should I use the 2022 instructions which I found here or is there an easier method now available?
I know my way around a command line but at my age time becomes quite precious.

Re: unofficial Docker Container for Record Engine


UnRaid apps do not contain a HDHomeRun docker, but then I found this thread and it seems to be viable.

The thread seems to suggest any updates to the HDHomeRun application will update if the docker is started and stopped.

I noticed the actual docker is several years old so is it still viable ...

Re: unofficial Docker Container for Record Engine


I'm having trouble getting this working fully on a UGreen Nas. I have this image created and running on docker inside UGOS. The engine is running and I was able to record shows inside the HDHomeRun app. I can also confirm the shows are recorded in the shared folders. I can watch the recordings ...

Re: unofficial Docker Container for Record Engine


How can I verify which version of the recording engine I am running? I am using Unraid. I understand with every docker image restart it is pulling down a new version if needed. Thanks

You have multiple ways
1. The container contains a simple web based UI at the DVRUI_PORT you provided to the ...

Re: unofficial Docker Container for Record Engine


All,

I tried to set this up. My recordings are currently going to an old QNAP server I have, but I'd like to utilize my more beefy UnRAID server.

What seems to happen now is that when I watch live TV, I see it recording inside the UnRAID docker. But the rest of my recordings all seem to still ...
