Thanks for the clarification, Jason. My question is how exactly do I get the app to recognize those existing recordings? I gather from the mere existence of utilities that add the necessary metadata to ts files that lack it--and from emveepee's post above--that such files are not necessarily all cre...

TPeterson

IOW, the app works via the subscribed DVR system only, is that right?

"Shows up" where? Does the app look in a particular folder for recordings?

What syntax did you use, if not a dedicated folder? Also, what utility did you use?

@nickk: I used Gary Buhrmaster's GitHub python app `HDHR-DVR-fileImport.py` from https://github.com/garybuhrmaster/HDHRUtil to put the relevant metadata into a ts file recorded from one of my HDHR units. (Thanks, @gtb!) VLC was still happy to play the result, but `HDHomeRunApp.exe` (the Windows alia...

@mrrrk: Thanks!

Tuners are dynamically allocated. Keep in mind that you don't know what tuners are available when you go to tune because another app on another device may be using one or more tuners.... libhdhomerun - typically the only thing you use libhdhomerun for these days is the discover API in hdhomerun_dis...

As an oldtimer, I didn't recognize HDHomerun_config by its new name. That utility, of course, does provide (after a rather lengthy delay) a tuner-specific lineup. However, my hope is to avoid requiring that CW_EPG users with HTTP-capable HDHR units install the "Windows software" package an...

TPeterson

Nick, this is the Developer Support forum.... My use case is not selecting a single channel but constructing resources for CW_EPG to use when recording from HDHomerun units.

TPeterson

Of course one can parse the list, which also includes the modulation type of each channel, and use external knowledge of the model and its tuner complement to decide which channels to assign each. But why force each user to that effort when the fw could issue a correct tuner-specific list instead?

True, but the 4k units show atsc3 channels in those lists that tuners 2 and 3 cannot lock. That's the reason for my wish to have tuner-specific lists.

TPeterson

The pages lineup.xml and lineup.json were OK as long as all tuners in the device were the same. But now, with some tuners in the device not able to lock on all of the channels shown, it would be very nice to have a modified call to show the lineup for only one of the tuners. Is there such a call alr...

@techpro2004, thanks for the tip.

It's something I've been meaning to document. I'll try to get something put together soon.

Hi, Ned! Have you made any progress on this? Have an ETA or URL for it?
