I'm slowly getting the bugs sorted out. Only two left that I am aware of.<br>
This one is regarding communication with the HDHR.I thought I had it sorted on Saturday.<br>
The only way I could get the HDHR to work on ethernet port was to set the network connections<br>
ipv4 settings to manual , no MAC address and 196.254.1.10 ; 255.255.0.0 ; 0.0.0.0 for the ip netmask and gateway settings.<br>
It seemed to be reliable but since a power outage upset things I can only get it to work in a haphazard fashion.<br>
<br>
in Mythbackend the capture cards screen is set to use the device IDs: 11111EB-0 / 11111EB-1<br>
<br>
I tried the suggestions from Nick Rout in this forum thread : <a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2062279" target="_blank">http://ubuntuforums.org/<u></u>showthread.php?t=2062279</a><br>
<br>
These are the symptoms: (from the forum post)<br>
<br>
" Nothing records and when you go to watch tv it tries to work then boots you back to the main menu. Also, the light on the hdhomerun that turns solid when it is connected, instead of being solid, continues to blink. After running hdhomerun_config and restarting mythtv-backend recording works as does watching live tv and the light on the hdhomerun stays turns solid green and stays that way until the next time the computer is rebooted."<br>
<br>
My network indicator says connected and HDHomerun set up talks to the device.<br>
<br>
The original poster did not mark the thread solved and Nick's suggestion won't work for me.<br></blockquote><div><br>It's quite likely that the network connection between the backend machine and the HDHR is not up when mythbackend is started. Link local ddresses take a while to acquire as the HDHR will be timing out trying to find a DHCP server first. But if you provided us with some logs it would be easier to say. <br>
<br>Basic troubleshooting=logs.<br><br>I still haven't figured out why you insist on putting the HDHR on a separate subnet, but if you insist on doing so why don't you run a dhcp server and give out a real IP address to the HDHR?<br>
