Re: Latency on HDHomeRun stream over VPN during a business setup stay in Dubai

For TS streaming the further away you get from the source the harder it is to have reliable bandwidth from one end to the other.
Even if going through a VPN - the data still needs to be routed, and it's here that your data can be slowed down or even just dropped. Worse, each packet can be routed ...

Re: Next Gen Channel Freeze


I’ll believe I can record it with the DVR and then see if I have a repeatable issue in playback. If I don’t, then I don’t know how you would experience it. Then I guess I might need help figuring out how to reduce the size of the recording to upload.

This is probably the best shot.
If you ...

Re: Next Gen Channel Freeze


So any idea what issue is and how to fix it?

Just my thoughts...

Basically suggests your TV is doing something different with the Audio and in the case with eARC that something is incompatible with your soundbar and that's causing a push back to the video player which stops because it can't ...

Re: HDHomeRun PRIME – H.264 MPEG-TS stream does not report video bitrate to Plex/ffprobe

Streaming (html)/Network (status.json) rate reported by the HDHomeRun is a report of the number of bits sent of the TS stream for that channel to your device.
It is not a bandwidth needed or guaranteed number that a 3rd party device can necessarily depend on.

MPEG-TS is not like MP4/MKV and doesn ...

Re: Unable to find Tuner if not on the same Vlan as TV - walkerx


I've updated all my IPv6 to use SLAAC (was using a mixture as my ISP supports both SLAAC and DHCPv6)

The tuners are receiving an IPv6 address and Link-Local address as well as their IPv4 address
And the IPv6 matches the IPv6 prefix expected for that VLAN segment?

Re: Unable to find Tuner if not on the same Vlan as TV - walkerx

How is your IPv6 managed in the vlans?
Currently the tuners only support SLAAC while the DVR service on a server will support whatever the server supports (SLAAC, dhcpv6, etc.)
Since the app on your devices can see the DVR it looks like site multicast is working (is our own service not mDNS) across ...

Step 8 of https://info.hdhomerun.com/info/dvr:linux
You need to pass it path for the config file, otherwise it defaults to look in the path that it runs in.

Re: Switched Record Engine from Windows to Linux, no recordings


I added Port=4999 to the configuration file and restarted. The hdhomerun_record status shows it as running, but I can't access this from a Windows computer/browser (refused to connect)? I have the IP address to the Linux machine correct.

Make sure you're typing in http://<ip address> in the ...

Re: Playback of DVR recording suddenly stops


Checking in again, since this is still happening. Based on the information I provided earlier in this thread, is there anything else that can be done to address this issue? I can submit diagnostics if that would be helpful. This is still quite a problem.

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?

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


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 ...
