Recordings listed twice, crashes when deleting

[SpiceWare]

I have a Mac mini set up as my DVR. It stores all recordings on a Drobo 8D, over 9 TB worth.

For quite some time when running HDHomeRun on the mini all the recordings get listed twice. If I run HDHomeRun on my Mac Pro or iPad they're all listed just once. The mini's connected to my TV, and is the primary system I use to watch HDHomeRun.

The duplicate listings hasn't been much of an issue, but after the recent update (love the updated progress bar) when I delete a recording on the mini HDHomeRun will sometimes crash. I can delete recordings without crashing on my Mac Pro.

Each recording listed twice on mini:

Only one of each episode on the Drobo:

I also have a 2nd Connect Quatro, 1071392F, but it stopped working last week - it just shows a flashing red light on the network port. I deleted it from the Account Info screen so it would stop prompting me about it every time I launched HDHomeRun.

Looks like the app is finding the DVR via two different addresses and isn't recognizing they're the same DVR. I have brought this up to the development team to investigate.

Good eye - on my Mac Pro and iPad the Account Info screen only shows 1 instance of RECORD.

I just opened/close HDHomeRun on my Pro, then on my mini, log in the code box at end of this reply. In the log I see:

• IP address of the Pro is 10.1.10.72, which matches the streaming of live channel 2.1
• IP address of the mini is 10.1.10.223, but the streaming of live channel 26.1 is going to 169.254.103.7

Second code box at end of reply is output of ifconfig command. I see 169.254.103.7 in there under en1. Checked the network preferences and found that it's associated with WiFi, though WiFi is turned off.

Problem solved!

Was talking with a friend who works IT at a law firm with a bunch of Mac equipment - he's actually why I own Macs, he gave me a PowerMac G3 back in 2003 so I could try OS X when I was deciding what to use after having run OS/2 for almost a decade.

Anyway, he asked "Can you work around it by deleting the WiFi item in the Network system preference?"

I didn't realize that was possible. Just select Wi-Fi in the panel on the left, then click on the minus at the bottom to delete it, finally click on Apply. Once done, I launched the HDHomeRun client on the mini and it showed just one HDHomeRun RECORD, and I was able to delete a number of recordings without the client crashing.
