Unexpected socket exception calling StartStream()

[mvallevand]

I do suspect the the recording service is hanging causing problems on port 8968 but that has nothing to do with Iain's post.

This problem is still happening for me. COMCAST sent a technician and all he did was measure the signal strength and said it was OK. I asked SiliconDust about it and they asked "Have you reported this problem to NPVR?"

In 2012 "imilne" posted a nearly identical stack trace on this forum for the same exception: Skip Problem #177.

The channels are copy-freely and they are not encrypted. "HDHomeRun Config GUI" shows that it is streaming the channels to the target machine when NextPVR does not play them and I can view the channels with VLC (by clicking on the "View" command button in "HDHomeRun Config GUI").

It's a mystery to me.

Lets collect more info on what what we're being sent from the HDHR. Create a c:\temp directory, and set HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\NPVR\LogNetPush=1 (DWORD), try watching that channel, then post the npvr logs, and the c:\temp\netpush.txt

Sorry - I was not notified of your post asking for more information - thank you for asking.

This problem may very well be a COMCAST problem - see the following three TIVO forum posts that seem related to me: Comcast Mpeg-4 issues: View but not Record, Comcast MPEG-4 in Bay Area/ and None of my minis will tune in channel that comes in fine on roamio/

You may be able to find a work-around for this COMCAST problem in NextPVR, but I'm not sure that is the best use of your time. That being said, the information (files) you requested are attached to this post.

Thank you.

Yes! That fixed the problem. What was the problem?

Great!

Technical description...It related to a "long PMT", containing extra "CA descriptors", which the app had to strip out.
