Bug using hdhomerun scan ( will only show small potion of the entire channels found )

Post by wazer »

So using a new scan will result in the web only showing partials of channels that had been successfully scanned

Testing channels that does not show up in the screenshot still does work like channel 1 or channel 2, video at the bottom.

I tested on 4 different units where 3 of them is expand units and 1 quattro unit.

They are EU units with digital cable.


I have to rescan yet again to fix this issues.

The way I do to reproduce this is by the following way...

Step1

Set your network id to nothing


hdhomerun_config.exe deviceID set /lineup/network_id ""
// This I do whenever I have bought old used units that has network ID locked for some reason I cannot change it via gui or via web, so this method is the only way to clear the network_id

Step2

In HDHomeRun Setup GUI

Set QAM to something that's not on your network.

I would pick

a8qam256-1000

Step3

Do a channel scan to clear all channels

Step4
Set your QAM back, in my case its

a8qam256-6875
Image

Step5
Do a new scan in hdhomerun setup gui

Result will look something like this

Step6

In order to fix this I have to re-re-scan

Here's a video showing where I did the re-re-scan again and channels started to appear correctly now.

all units has their latest beta firmware and software possible.
