Hello all,
I recently purchased a HD Homerun Dual, and am trying to run NPVR on a computer that is running Windows XP.
I was able to install the HD Homerun included software. At first, the included Quick TV was not working. I installed a codec library, and was then able to view TV in the included Quick TV application.
I then installed NPVR. After following the instructions on the forums here, I was able to configure the application to pick up the channels from the HD Homerun device as well as getting the XMLTV guide data loaded up.
However, I still cannot seem to get the Live TV to work. I saw on the forums the various firewall issues, so I added the exception programs and even completely disabled the firewall temporarily. That did not seem to fix the issue.
I am guessing it is a decoder problem. I've installed a couple different codec packs now, and have tried several different decoders without any luck yet.
I can post the log file if it will help, but at this point there are no errors listed in the log.
When I select Live TV, the application opens up like it is viewing the channel, but nothing is displayed on the screen and there is no audio. I can access the right-click menu, or press ESC to go back to the menu, but nothing else.
Anyone have any tips or ideas that I may be missing?
Thanks for the help.
