What is the best way to update this? Should I just overwrite the existing folder or start fresh with each update?

Thanks

Correct Overwrite, I typically just extract the files over top the old ones in the same directory

@mcheng89 In regards to the icon, I like the way the iphone makes one if you add a shortcut to your home screen for the iphone.html I'm not sure if you programmed it that way or the iphone makes it either way it's clean and looks nice.

I want to record the cable feed, and set recordings a-la Comcast via EPG

FYI Your image links don't seem to go anywhere actually might also be spammy. Mike has suggested that the ability to record is forth coming in a later release but if you want to be able to do this now outside of WMC you can install Remote potato http://www.remotepotato.com/ it will let you schedule recordings from your phone or PC remotely and also watch them if you want to buy the $5 App in the iTunes app store. I haven't bought the app I use the remote potato webpage <serverip>:9080/mainmenu to schedule then use plex for remote playback myself.

Pretty sure this is spam. Same user posted same comment exactly a week ago (page 103 I believe) and I gave them pretty much the identical response. Guess we'll find out in a week...

Hi All,

I'm new to the forum and to this program, but thanks to everyone for all your work on this.

This may be a silly question that's answered somewhere obvious, but I've yet to find it. Is the HDHomerun Dual (OTA Tuner) supported by this app?

If so, then I'll list my problem. When the server is up and running and pulls up the 127.1.1.1 homepage, when I go to "add device", nothing happens when I hit the "Save" button in that dialog. Of course, if this is because the program doesn't support the Duals, then my question is answered.

I can ping my Dual from the server and I've tried on Firefox v20 and IE 9. This is on a Windows Server 2012 x64 OS.

Thanks for all of your help!

This program is written for CableCard tuners, the only three on the market being the InfiniTV 4, the HDHR prime, and the Hauppage 2650. The HDHR dual is not among those so it won't work. You could use WMC with RemotePotato if that suits your needs. This link indicates you might be able to use the dual in XBMC natively but I'm no expert on the matter.

Hey, I'm having the same issue that metro088 and cinemagic seem to be having...I start up the tvserver exe file, and go to "Add device" to add my InfiniTV device. I select "Ceton InfiniTV4" in device type, type in the IP address, but when I click "Save", it doesn't do anything. I'm on a Windows machine, tried it in Chrome, FF, and IE, and nothing seems to work.

I'll post another build for you later tonight that will make hls streams easier to work with.

The url for this new build would look like:

Code:

http://192.168.2.125:8888/play?channel=7&format=hls&bitrate=500&resolution=480&redirect=true

(the redirect doesnt work for hls streams with the current server, but I have a fix for it)

[dsc1000]

Thanks! I am pretty new to this so i don't understand all of the code. Does the stream need to end in .m3u8?

Replace your tv.exe with this file http://www.mediafire.com/?u53aipd7fayp1d7

It actually does end in .m3u8. The redirect option will forward the client to http://<server ip>:8888/hls/tuner0.m3u8

If you restart the server does it work?

Same thing here. Tried restarting, etc, no success, 5.10 shows the same behaviour. 5.9 worked fine.

I downloaded the new tv.exe and started it as administrator. When I ran "http://192.168.2.125:8888/play?channel=7&format=hls&bitrate=500&resolution=480&redirect=true" in a browser on the server, the hdhomerun started on chaannel 7 at the bitrate specified. Then it asked me where I wanted to save the tuner0.m3u8 file. I saved it to the tvtuner/webfiles folder. I changed the line in the roku channel code to "http://192.168.2.125:888/hls/tuner0.m3u8" but it is not working. I tested on my ipad and it isn't working either. What did I do wrong.
