[SOLVED] Android startup issue ever since introduction of BLUE/RED fire startup animation (version 20250607 ?)

Post by dugiehowsa »

DEVICE MODEL: HDFX-4US
DEVICE ID: 10B11FBE


Ever since the introduction of BLUE/RED fire startup animation (version 20250607 ?) in the Android app, I have been experiencing the following startup issue on both Google TV and Fire TV.

After the BLUE/RED fire startup animation, the screen goes black. I cannot BACK ARROW out of the app. I have to hit the HOME button. I then have to open another app. I then exit that app, and re-open the HDHOMERUN app. After re-opening the app, it displays the HDHOMERUN device discovery process (successfully finds TUNER & DVR), and the app resumes normal operation.

I noticed a few notes in the changelog about fixes for startup issues in the past couple of releases, but I am still experiencing the issue described above.

I am currently running 20250627.

It is being worked on. Each update fixes some devices, but there are still a few causing problems.

Thanks. I still see this sporadically on my RockTek G2 (SEI804 series).
