Hello,
Been using NPVR for about a year now, have had almost no issues once I set it up. Currently using Comcast and an HDHomeRun Prime.
As of late i've been losing my ability to tune specific channels. I think this has to do with Comcast switching over to H.264 starting October 26, but I am unsure what to do next.
Specifically, as of last night I am unable to tune AMC (you can understand my distress at not being able to record TWD!). This also happens with several other channels, MTV and FX come to mind as well.
My best description of the problem I can provide is this. When I try to tune or record a program from AMC, the tuner starts, the HDHomeRun lights up that a tuner is in use, and a file IS created. The file that is created is 0-32 KB in size and when the recording is supposed to finish, the tuner remains active and NPVR essentially shows the show is recording until I restart the computer. Restarting the recording service doesn't always work.
When I try to tune AMC, I get a black screen and it eventually gives me an error saying this tuner was require for a recording and gives me an option to exit. If I try to tune a channel after trying to tune AMC, I get "unable to communicate with recording service".
When I tune other channels (CBS for example), I have no issues. I can tune, I can record. No problems.
When I open AMC in HDHomeRun VIEW, I can tune it without issue.
I am attaching logs from this morning. Notably, I tried to record on AMC at ~7:55 am and once again at ~8:24 am. Looks like that corresponds with NRecord.log.1 and .log.2.
I have tried changing the channel in NPVR settings from MPEG-2 to H.264, it didn't change anything. I have also tried disabling windows firewall, no change either.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
