Live TV freezes when in background or minimized while using the hdhr app on Windows 11

Post by Mx1CjAjK »

If I minimize or put the app in the background the stream freezes after about 30 seconds. I tried reinstalling the app but that didn't make a difference. Any help is appreciated.

Windows 11 Pro
HDHomeRun 1.0.49238.0
Model: HDFX-2US
FW: 20250815

This is a Windows OS "feature" - Windows backgrounds UWP apps when minimized or when it thinks they are not visible to the user, similar to Android.
