Re: Black screen with "Audio only", etc.

A few nights ago I reset the MeCool KM2 Plus TV box to factory defaults, re-installed HDHomeRun only, and updated the bundled apps via Google PlayStore. I've left Android Settings practically bone stock, only disabling WiFi, changing the "Standby mode definition" (aka power key function) f...

Re: Black screen with "Audio only", etc.

Yes, I did turn off recording on the PC before re-enabling on the MeCool TV box. I think the smoking gun here is the Video Quality options in the gear menu on the MeCool box that only appeared when I first disabled recording there. They went away after I re-enabled recording on the MeCool box and ba...

Re: Black screen with "Audio only", etc.

On the MeCool KM2 I made repeated attempts at watching recordings made on my PC. Playback always worked as expected and it never got stuck on the black "Audio only" screen. Something possibly related: After turning off recording on the MeCool and exiting HDHomeRun, I noticed after launchin...

Re: Black screen with "Audio only", etc.

Thanks Jason for explaining that there is no need to mess with my Subscription settings. I was pretty certain that there was an option to "Use this device for making recordings" in the gear menu but I swear I couldn't find it when I first looked there. I finally saw it and just turned it O...

Thanks Jason. Please check my PM to you regarding an issue with my subscription that might preclude disabling recording.

Re: Black screen with "Audio only", etc.

I figured out that to be safe I can just shut down the MeCool, disconnect the external drive, then restart the device and disable DVR service from within HDHomeRun Settings -- I assume by clicking the "Not Me" button next to my email address?

Re: Black screen with "Audio only", etc.

Thanks Jason. Will my current recordings remain on the MeCool after I disable recording there, or do I need to take special steps to make sure we don't lose them?

Re: Black screen with "Audio only", etc.

After cleanly restarting the Android TV, I opened the HDHomeRun app there I repeatedly opened and closed Live TV (probably 20 times), but I was unable to trigger the black "Audio only" screen. Doing the same thing with a Recording took only a few tries to get the black Audio only screen. A...

Re: Black screen with "Audio only", etc.

Confirmed no problem watching Recordings made on Android TV from here on my PC, on my wife's iPad, and on an Android phone, even when Recordings won't playback on the Android TV. Also confirmed no problem watching Live TV from any of those devices, even when Live TV won't work on the Android TV (so...

The wife will be pleased to know that at least she can watch her recordings from a tablet, thanks. :)

Re: Black screen with "Audio only", etc.

Right after I posted that last reply I checked the Android TV again and tried to watch a scheduled recording made today. I got the black Audio only screen with audio. I immediately tried to watch the same episode from here on my PC and I had no problem doing that. Exited the recording on the Android...

Re: Black screen with "Audio only", etc.

Do you see any issues with live TV in the HDHomeRun app? We don't spend a lot of time in Live TV in the HDHomeRun app. Wife will usually just switch the TV inputs back to OTA antenna and watch it from there. I believe I saw a problem in Live TV in the HDHomeRun app only once myself, but I think tha...

Black screen with "Audio only", etc.

I recently moved my HDHomeRun DVR instance to a MECOOL KM2 Plus 4K Android TV Box with 2GB RAM and an external SSD configured as Removable Storage (full specs below), being fed by an HDHR5-4US CONNECT QUATRO running the latest firmware. HDHomeRun (latest version) and several streaming apps (Pluto TV...
