Can't play HDHR streams on new install

[nclou]

So, thanks to some help on here, I had this up and working on a my laptop, combining an IPTV device and a HDHR tuner.  Everything combined in once instance.

However, I have a standalone PC that I'd like to use instead of that laptop, and so I've installed NextPVR, and I can't get the HDHR tuners to play.  They are recognized, they scan and the channels are picked up, but when I choose to watch it says starting device....cannot be streamed and transcoder exited.

The HDHR streams play perfectly in the HDHR app.  My IPTV service plays perfectly.  I just can't get the HDHR tuners to play.  This is on both the desktop and web client.

I've tried removing and adding the device over an over, and I've tried a total uninstall and reinstall.  Hopefully it's something simple.

Is is possibly because I had NextPVR running on another pc on the network?  I shut that one down completely before this install so its not on the network now (but I didn't want to uninstall until I know it was working), but could that be a factor?

Logs attached, thanks...

You need to install the HDHR software on your PC

Ok, weird...I installed it from the Windows 10 store, and I can open it and watch the tuners on it...let me see if there's another version I can install in that location...

Ah, I see I installed the Windows 10 app, instead of the software. Dumb. Hopefully it will take care of it when I install the actual software. Thanks.

Yep, that took care of it, thanks!

Glad you got it working.

The software only required with older HDHR devices. NextPVR can work without it with newer devices.
