Hi

I purchased a new HDHomeRun recently and installed NextPVR in preparation of it's arrival. Once plugged in, I ran the HDHR setup program and updated it's firmware. I then opened NextPVR with anticipation. I found the HDHR listed in devices, but was unable to connect to it to update the channels, etc. I ended up rebuilding the server NextPVR was running on and now can't find any devices at all. I installed NextPVR on an older Windows 7 machine and again, no devices found.

Giving up, I went to my plex server and installed the PlexDVR distribution. This immediately found the HDHR, installed the channels and with a quick test recording, captured TV and even recoded and updated my library for me.

Now the thing is, I don't really want Plex doing this. Ideally, I wanted something to capture TV, allow me to watch what I wanted and archive onto Plex anything I wanted to keep, sans adverts, etc.

I've attached the logs files from my system, but as far as I can see, it's an issue with the updated firmware and the current version of NextPVR. Can you check this and confirm?

Many thanks

When you rebuilt the server did your reinstall the Silcon Dust software?

Since you seem to be new to HDHomeRun software. In HDHomeRun SetUp, under Configuration, make sure that BDA Compatibility Mode is set to Default or Media Portal. Using the setting of NextPVR is known to cause problems with NextPVR software (this should be added to the Wiki if not already there).

Please check that the HDHomeRun View(Wind10 app or program) is working for you.

What HDHomeRun hardware do you have(Connect, Extend or Prime)?

Could be a Windows Firewall problem.

I never installed the software on the server, just on a laptop to configure the HDHR.

It's currently set as default, but have tried them all.
Can access and view live TV on the server/PC directly, but NextPVR doesn't see it.
HDHomeRun Connect
Firewall is disabled.

Tried installing the HDHomeRun software on the server and PC. The server (server2012) now sees the DVB tuners, but still can't start them, the PC now connects and is running as expected.

Do you need BDA support to use HDHR devices on Windows Server 2012? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDHomeRun
