I am using Apple macOS 10.15.6 Supplemental Update 64-bit "Catalina" and I just installed, licensed, and gave the correct permission for JRiver Media Center 27 64-bit Master License. I was able to log into my JRiver Cloudplay account, but the television feature does not see my Silicondust HDHomeRun Connect Quatro device on my Verizon FiOS Mix & Match home network. Yet, the official Silicondust HDHomeRun app for Apple macOS allows me to watch over the air television just fine. I would like to know if and when JRiver enables and turns on their implementation of the television feature in JRiver Media Center 27 64-bit for Apple macOS and which specific version I should look out for to get it to just work. Please tell me what I need to know. Thank you.

I read the instructions, but the setup wizard is still quite buggy. Sometimes, I can log into my Perc Data accout and sometimes I can not log in. It consistently fails to load the Perc Data after I log into my account successfully and it does not download the EPG data and information. I understand that it is still early days and more patches and updates are needed, but can you fix the problem with logging into Perc Data and it not downloading the data and information for the EPG so it just works? Thanks.

MC needs to find the device as a DLNA device via SSDP. Does it show up in the tree under DLNA servers?
I assume Media Network is enabled on your MC27 install?
Since you said your network is "Mix and Match" I'm wondering if you have segmented your network into multiple LAN segments with different IPV4 networks and your Mac and HDHomeRun aren't on the same segment?


I have an HDHomeRun Connect which works fine with my Mac and this build of MC.

It says that Perc Data execution of external program failed and the program guide is invalid or it does not contain any program data for your channels.

So, I am using Murus Pro and Vallum which are third-party Apple macOS firewall software products and I configured both of them correctly so that both the Silicondust HDHomeRun and JRiver Media Center 27 64-bit Master License software products do indeed see my Silicondust HDHomeRun Connect Quatro. The official Silicondust HDHomeRun app allows me to watch over the air television just fine. The JRiver app allows me to see the Silicondust HDHomeRun Connect Quatro and I can log into my Perc Data, but it keeps saying that execution of the external program failed followed by the program guide is invalid or it does not contain any program data for your channels. I am getting one step closer to getting this to work, but this is the first time that JRiver enabled and turned on the television feature for Media Center 27 64-bit for Apple macOS and I am wondering if it is a bug that needs to be fixed or am I doing something wrong? Why is it that Perc Data can not download the EPG data and information?

JimH:
At this point, only the Silicondust EPG may work.

It's possible that MC is trying to execute the Percdata program but the name is different than on Windows.
