HDHR, Windows Home Server --> No channels found

[elwoodaz]

I've spent hours trying to get a successful channel scan with GBPVR's config.exe. Using the latest downloads from GBPVR and HDHR, I can see the channel strength and quality in the app (and the logs), but channels are never mapped. HDHR's utilities see the PIDs, and I can even watch the channels in WMP on the home server.

I thought it might be a muxing issue, so I installed the Cyberlink mux (no difference), then I installed the DirectX9 redistribution hoping maybe missing VMR9 was the culprit, but no joy there either.

I've attached my logs hoping someone can see something I am missing. I'm no newbie to ATSC OTA programming - I've used mythtv since 2002 with various ATSC hardware. But I'm stumped here!

Thanks

In the logs it looks its hooking up ok, but the device is never delivering any data to GB-PVR. Maybe check your firewall software is allowing config.exe access, otherwise it might be blocking data from the HDHR.

Sub you nailed it. I didn't make the mental connection that the firewall is done per program. When the HDHR and WMP could stream successfully I concluded the firewall wasn't in the way.

Now that I added the exceptions, I'm finding all the channels.

Guess my Windows skills weakened after all those years on linux.

No worries - glad you got to the bottom of it.
