Luna, autotune now works as expected with favorite channels. I still have the HDHomerun as a path under the file manager. That may be the magic bullet for those having trouble.

HDHR auto tuning is "independent", hehe from Kodi... So doubtful source paths matter....

I have two kodi installs the one was running an older version of PseudoTV Live and it was working with the HDHomerun Prime. When I upgraded that one to the new version it did continue to recognize my channels after the upgrade. I then tried an experiment where I reran the autotune and now I have the same problem as my new installation. It does not see the channels from the HDHomerun Prime. Maybe this has something to do with the new firmware. I just upgraded the firmware on the HDHomerun Prime a few days ago.

If you have a HDHR Prime, and a XMLTV file that includes channels the HDHR found...

Then setting up is extremely simple... using strms is only required for the old "Dual" HDHR tuners..
Which is the reason you don't see a prompt for a directory location for strms... they are not needed with the prime.

So if you have prime, and xmltv file... follow these steps!

Open HDHR's webpage for your device and favorite the channels you want in PTVL...

Open PTVL settings

Start clean :: Utilities clear channel configurations.

Go to DVR make sure xmltv path is correct

If you want full artwork in EPG then make sure "find missing info" is enabled in tweaks.

Select autotune HDHR Prime, click okay

PTVL will prompt you to correct any mismatched listings... Thats it.

The above instructions were what I received as the proper integration for the HDHomerun Prime with PTVL (0.6.3i). It looks like you are using the uPNP resources to integrate your HDHomerun Prime.

I have had no luck following these instructions. A Wireshark packet trace showed me that my HDHR Prime was NOT responding to the packets sent by PTVL. This started me asking about Firmware as my HDHR Prime updated late last month. I will do another update, tonight, to see if this makes any change.

BUT, the fact remains. A Wireshark trace does not lie. I'm a data networks tech support guy by decades of background. If I see a one-way transaction, I know that something ain't happening.

I am using a Beelink R89 ARM server with Android Kitkat and XBMC Gotham (Kodi). I've been working on integrating my HDHR Prime with PTVL since 0.6.3a. I was able to get PTVL to recognize my HDHR Prime when set to AutoTune with HDHomerun Dual - STRMs mode and the directory location of the .strm files I created with the http url for every channel in my HDHR Prime. A valid xmltv.xml file was also requred. I got this file from my account at Schedules Direct. But, the EPG would be totally screwed-up. I posted this info with some screen shots of the messed-up channel order and EPG.

I was told that I needed to use the HDHomerun Prime/Extended - Favourites selection in AutoTune. I was also provided some great answers with regard to the difference between AutoTuning with the Prime/Extended - Favourites and the HDHomerun Dual - STRMs selections. You should check it out.

But, there was no mention as to using the uPNP configuration option for the HDHomerun Prime.

If you're experience is with using PTVL with Kodi on Windows PC servers, then it seems that there might be a coincidence in HDHR Prime integration on more than one platform with the current PTVL release.

It looks like you and I, and all those to chicken to post for getting flamed or ignored, are having this same issue.

Would you provide/post info as to your server platform?

Also, what Firmware are you running in your HDHR Prime?

I'll provide mine in the next post.

You might have better luck getting support as I'm certain I'm heading for the cagado list from all the postings I've made due to my continuing HDHR Prime support problems on the Android platform.

Might I STRONGLY suggest the Silicondust HDHomerun PVR solution? This solution is currently supported for Kodi with WD My Cloud NAS units. This was a Kickstarter campaign $249 Bundle. In beta, it has been much kinder to me than PTVL. I started out looking for a Live TV application that would allow me to use direct tuning of channels. The Kodi Live TV did not do this, but PTVL did. The Sillicondust product also supports direct tuning and PVR functionality with a tech-support department. The almost daily updates, forum responses and problems/suggestions implementation, as well as their quick email tech-support interaction, are refreshingly positive and supportive.

I'm just giving this application the ol' college try in order to sharpen my troubleshooting skills and update my XBMC knowledge from that of my salad days when I used an original XBOX to run original XBMC. I've already started developing a complex. Can you tell?

Best regards,
