Title: Cannot record/watch TV
Post by: curiousMonkey on July 25, 2021, 03:16:21 pm

I updated to the SiliconDust HD Homerun 4K network tuner about 2 months ago. Everything was working fine until about 3 weeks ago. I noticed that the few programs I had scheduled for recording did not record. This continues to be a problem. When the scheduled program is supposed to be recorded, the guide indicates that it is being recorded. However I don't see an entry in the list of recently recorded shows. I checked the directory where programming is stored and there are empty directories for the missing records. So apparently the recording tried to start but was unable to capture anything.

Yesterday I was able to watch live TV. Last night and this morning live TV is not available either. When I select "watch" there is a brief pause and then MC just returns to the previous Guide screen.

I am able to watch live TV just fine with the HDHomerun application that is running on my Mac Mini in a different room.

It is working now. I should have tried that after I tried restarting MC.

Recording has stopped again. I rebooted the PC but it did not help.
I am able to watch TV but no file is created although I did start recording from the Guide view.

Recording has been working again for the last few days. If I see another failure, I will provide a log.
