DeviceHostWindows runs continuously even when browser closed? (Solved)

[sub]

Do you have 'Keep digital tuners primed' ticked on the Setting->Devices screen?

Do you have your channel setup on the HDHomeRun using the 'DVB-T' device type or 'HDHR' device type on the Settings->Devices screen?

Need to modify what I said about the recordings.

Even though everything said that the recording was happening, NOTHING was actually  recorded.

[IanC]

Both tuners are DVB-T, and "Yes" I have keep tuners primed ticked.

[IanC]

HDHR and DVB-C devices are disabled.

Just cancelled a recording five minutes ago and closed the browser. The process is still running and receiving at 37Mbs.

There is also a second instance of DeviceHostWindows running but is only at 0.1 Mbs.

I can confirm the same thing here when on my HDHR in ATSC mode when the device is primed the streaming process doesn't stop. Even when the server stops it is still locked.

Deselecting "Keep Primed" fixes it.

That's what 'keep digital tuners primed' is meant to do. It keeps the device running and ready to use, for instant live tv startup etc. It probably makes less sense to use this if you're using an HDHomeRun with the BDA drivers (when compared to a regular PCIe/USB tuner), since a lot more is going on in the background, with data continuing to flow across the network etc, but you can easily disable it by unticking that checkbox.

"Fixes it" was the wrong thing to say. It's now behaving as I expected would be better.

Thank you both for your help.

Yours
