Does the HDHomerun work with Dvbviewer? I'm running latest beta and tuner is found under hardware but I'm getting no hardware message when scanning.

[Lars_MQ]

what's hdhomerun?

[boborg]

Look here http://www.silicondust.com/

[Lars_MQ]

I'm not sure if the viewer does work with it. As what is it detected in the DVBViewer?

[boborg]

Detected as SiliconDust HDHomeRun Tuner.

[Lars_MQ]

you know what? why don't you just start the dvbviewer via Start -> Programs -> DVBViewer program group -> support -> dvbviewer (debug mode) and try to scan some channels. Then you post a support.zip and we'll see if we can make sense of it.

OK this can not work. The BDA tuner filter can not be located with this information. The question is, how can this device be identified... I'll do some research.

[Lars_MQ]

Does the transedit version in the membersarea work with this device?

May be helpful...

I've read it. But this doesn't explain the missing deviceID. And we're talking danish Cable/DVB-T here not some obscure ATSC.

Hi again,

No messages when scanning in Transedit but no channels are found. It's DVB-T and DVB-C tuners by the way. I'm testing DVB-T. I'm just testing it for a product review so I just thought I would test if it worked in DVBViewer. Seems interesting with dual tuners but no worries if it does not work

They seem to add support for lots of players. In the setup I can choose from GB-PVR, Mediaportal and many more. So maybe SilliconDust can add support for DVBViewer?

Please attach TransEdit.ini. I'd like to see how the device is detected.

OK it seems to be a problem in the DVBViewer Pro detection routine.

Please try select "Use standard Interface" in the Transedit Hardware settings.

[Griga]

It's DVB-T and DVB-C tuners by the way.

Hmm,TransEdit detects two DVB-T tuners... according to the Silicondust PDF the detected type may depend on how it is configured by the user. What did you try to receive? DVB-T, DVB-C or both? Of course TransEdit doesn't find anything if you try to receive DVB-C with a DVB-T tuner. However, the hardware settings allow to change the tuner type. Dunno if it does the trick in this case...

Is it a DVB-C/T hybrid tuner (which means, only one of the tuners can be used at a time), or a dual tuner device?

Please try select "Use standard Interface" in the Transedit Hardware settings.

...and also try the second tuner by setting the status of the first one to "Don't use".

@Lars: I suspect the tuner filter exposes two demodulator nodes, and TransEdit/DVBViewer only find the first one...

[Lars_MQ]

well at least Transedit finds something. I found the problem in the pro and I suspect this is also the cause it doesn't find the correct node...

@boborg
If you are willing to run some fast tests with a modified transedit test version, we should be hopefully able to fix this.

[boborg]

@Griga it is dual tuner and both tuners are DVB-C/T hybrid tuners.

Use standard Interface did not help finding the DVB-T channels.

I could run some tests if you want.

[Lars_MQ]

This is a special transedit version, modified to (hopefully) detect and open the HDHomeRun device. it does scan but thats all nothing fancy, it's just to check if the device is responding.

You can simply put it into the dvbviewer program folder and start it. Do a hardware search and make sure the direct tuning setting for the device is OFF.
It does log several additional things in the BDADevice handling code, so even if it doesn't work, the created debug.log will be helpfull.

Thank you for your help.
