Re: Recording metadata - TPeterson

@rikd, thanks for your reply. Since you're new to this conversation, some background seems to be in order. CW_EPG, my HDHR PVR app (user manual here ), has been using HDHR tuners (and others before there were HDHR tuners) for many years. It handles scheduling and recording sessions via Windows wake...

Re: Recording metadata - TPeterson

I see from the logs that the DVR engine creates that it rather frequently "phones home" to find out, among other things, whether I've subscribed to the DVR service. Given that I only intend to use the HDHomerun viewer app to play local recordings, that seems unnecessary O/H for both Silic...

Re: Subwoofer in OTA ATSC 1.0?

It's just a cheap Toshiba fireTV edition TV, (50C350KU, 2021 Model) Open the menu on the TV and select Sound. Check what you have for Advanced Settings -> Digital Audio Out Also worth checking the Speakers menu too (under the same Sound menu). Older Toshiba TVs used to have a feature where you can ...

This is likely the root cause of your subwoofer woes
What's the make and model of the TV?

Re: Subwoofer in OTA ATSC 1.0?

Made some progress! After years of being convinced I can't get sub out watching youtube videos I have it now. Interestingly, my processor for my surround system now indicates DD Prologic with red flag instead of DD. I changed the audio setting in my Shield from manual format choices to auto play fo...

Re: Subwoofer in OTA ATSC 1.0?

Looks like I made a mistake in the title which has been corrected. Just to be certain, are you saying you get subwoofer signals over the air? Your sub plays LFE sounds when you watch TV? Yes Not every program is 5.1 - sometimes is AC3 2.0 but even then the subwoofer is active as the soundbars/AVRs ...

Re: HDHR Android app bug

Never say never.. Your X900H is 1 year newer than mine - and I got a new update over the holidays this year! I don't know what it fixed or added really - newer version of android TV (so.. good) and the all the settings menus have completely changed. Anyway, The reason you don't see the message for o...

Re: HDHR Android app bug

AFAIR the error has nothing to do with the app. It is the android system on the TV saying you can't adjust the volume with its interface/remote since it can't send/confirm volume adjust commands with an output. With audio in app set to passthrough as you mention, the app is not involved in volume co...

Re: Recording on NAS or USB drive

Thanks, I think you're on to something. When I right click USB1 in Synology File Station and choose Properties, it tells me the location is /volumeUSB1/usbshare/HDHomeRun. I should have thought to do that before. Unfortunately, HDHomeRun still doesn't see it. Here's the entire hdhomerun.conf file I...

Re: Recording on NAS or USB drive

For the NAS, I followed the instructions at https://info.hdhomerun.com/info/dvr:nas:synology to install the Synology app, and that went fine. I had the NAS format the 5TB drive with EXT4 format and used HDHomeRun Setup to point the DVR at the NAS, but I don't seem to be able to either record to to ...

Re: Samsung 4K TV with Nvidia Shield blurry/stuttering on fast motion like sports

@rikd sorry missed your reply. Definitely a deinterlace issue, thanks for the terminology fix. I have never seen it so bad, but it definitely is most noticeable on sports & tickers. That's typically where deinterlace issues are most noticeable. Also what are the Shields settings for AI Upscalin...

Re: Samsung 4K TV with Nvidia Shield blurry/stuttering on fast motion like sports

Are there any specific channels you see the issue on more than others? What your describing sounds like a deinterlace issue which tends to be more visible in high motion such as sports and tickers. But also need to confirm - great thing about the English language is we have so many different ways of...

Re: Synology SPK for DVR Record Engine

My other issue is as I mentioned in another post, I don't see any of my previous recordings except for one folder with 2 episodes. I should have dozens of previously recorded shows, and even the one folder showing up only shows 2 episodes, when it should have 59. Is there anyway to get all my recor...

Re: Synology SPK for DVR Record Engine

Hello, Installed hdhomerun_record_synology_20221106beta1.spk according to instructions. Everything worked fine. DS218+ running DMR 711-42962 update 1, HDHomeRun app version 20221031 on my mac (OS 13.0.1). I then tried to change the record path in hdhomerun.conf: It is: RecordPath=/volume1/HDHomeRun...
