http://10.8.8.91:5004/auto/v8.2?transcode=None

Thanks for the quick update. Unfortunately it died again. This time it tried to use the url http://10.8.8.91:5004/auto/v8.2?transcode=default and 'default' is no good. 

I was able to fix it. I had to change the following line in hdhomerun.py (line 526):
    if self.transcode == 'none': tranOPT = (tuner.getTranscodeOption() or 'none')
to this:
    if self.transcode == 'default': tranOPT = (tuner.getTranscodeOption() or 'none')

As I was diagnosing things I found that there is a bug in pyHDHR.py.  The function getTranscodeOption was failing a not returning the transcode option set in my HDTC-2US.  It failed raising an exception due to the function "Regex" not being defined. No error was detected because it was caught by the exception handler.  I changed the following lines of code starting at line 586 (the commented out lines were the original lines)

                #cookieisland - start changes
                #regx = Regex('transcodeChanged\(\)">((.|\n)+?)</select>').search(response.read())
                regx = re.search(rb'transcodeChanged\(\)">((.|\n)+?)</select>',response.read())
                selecttags = regx.group(1)

                #regx = Regex('.+"(.*)".+selected=').search(selecttags)
                regx = re.search(rb'.+"(.*)".+selected=',selecttags)
                #self.TranscodeOption = regx.group(1)
                self.TranscodeOption = regx.group(1).decode('utf-8')
                #cookieisland - end changes

Thanks, I no longer own a transcode model HDHR... so my development is dependent on HDHR's API docs.
