Re: Recording metadata - TPeterson

@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 wake...

Re: Recording metadata - TPeterson

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 Silic...

Re: Subwoofer in OTA ATSC 1.0?

It's just a cheap Toshiba fireTV edition TV, (50C350KU, 2021 Model) Open the menu on the TV and select Sound. Check what you have for Advanced Settings -> Digital Audio Out Also worth checking the Speakers menu too (under the same Sound menu). Older Toshiba TVs used to have a feature where you can ...

This is likely the root cause of your subwoofer woes
What's the make and model of the TV?

Re: Subwoofer in OTA ATSC 1.0?

Made some progress! After years of being convinced I can't get sub out watching youtube videos I have it now. Interestingly, my processor for my surround system now indicates DD Prologic with red flag instead of DD. I changed the audio setting in my Shield from manual format choices to auto play fo...

Re: Subwoofer in OTA ATSC 1.0?

Looks like I made a mistake in the title which has been corrected. Just to be certain, are you saying you get subwoofer signals over the air? Your sub plays LFE sounds when you watch TV? Yes Not every program is 5.1 - sometimes is AC3 2.0 but even then the subwoofer is active as the soundbars/AVRs ...

Re: HDHR Android app bug

Never say never.. Your X900H is 1 year newer than mine - and I got a new update over the holidays this year! I don't know what it fixed or added really - newer version of android TV (so.. good) and the all the settings menus have completely changed. Anyway, The reason you don't see the message for o...

Re: HDHR Android app bug

AFAIR the error has nothing to do with the app. It is the android system on the TV saying you can't adjust the volume with its interface/remote since it can't send/confirm volume adjust commands with an output. With audio in app set to passthrough as you mention, the app is not involved in volume co...

Re: Recording on NAS or USB drive

Thanks, I think you're on to something. When I right click USB1 in Synology File Station and choose Properties, it tells me the location is /volumeUSB1/usbshare/HDHomeRun. I should have thought to do that before. Unfortunately, HDHomeRun still doesn't see it. Here's the entire hdhomerun.conf file I...

Re: Recording on NAS or USB drive

For the NAS, I followed the instructions at https://info.hdhomerun.com/info/dvr:nas:synology to install the Synology app, and that went fine. I had the NAS format the 5TB drive with EXT4 format and used HDHomeRun Setup to point the DVR at the NAS, but I don't seem to be able to either record to to ...

Re: No Sound on HDHomerun App on Roku with Older Sony Bravia

I think we went down a rabbit hole of seeing if any HDMI extractors would actually decode AC-3, a few years back, and I don't think we found any. Most were extracting PCM to analog. If someone does find an HDMI extractor that can actually decode AC-3 then please tell us, because that would be fanta...

Re: No Sound on HDHomerun App on Roku with Older Sony Bravia

One thing I noticed you mentioned is my Sony Bravia model TV *ONLY* supports PCM Stereo over HDMI. When I checked the audio on my Samsung TV, it too only supports PCM audio (the selection for Dolby was greyed out), but my setup on that system still works. I am wondering if that is because I send au...

Re: No Sound on HDHomerun App on Roku with Older Sony Bravia

...Am I correct in assuming this old TV is not going to work with the app?... Is not compatibility with the App - but how the Roku Express deals with AC3 audio from the broadcaster You have a Roku that can't decode AC3 and pass through allows it to push that audio stream out over HDMI to the next d...

signde wrote: Mon Feb 12, 2024 8:49 am It is just the HDHR app for me and only on the ATSC 3.0 stations. The 1.0 stations in the app do not drift. And restarting the content, no app restart, will resync initially but then it drifts again over time.
One more Q..
Is the stick plugged into the Denon or a TV? Or other?

Re: Audio drifts out of sync over time with ATSC 3 channels on AFTV Stick 4k Max 2023

Is it just the HDHomeRun App, and just ATSC3 channels? Does sync re-establish after restarting the content? or app? I ask, because I see the same drift on other Apps on the 2023 4k MAX also - in particular with the Hulu and PlutoTV. At first, just restarting the app or even just playback of the cont...
