Macos Hdhomerun Signal Strength App

You use hdhomerun_config to manually configure HDHomeRun to stream video to a PC running VLC…

  1. Mar 11, 2019  OK, signal strength doesn’t seem to be the issue. I have overall signal strength of 100%, and after re-connecting my coaxial cable to the HDHomeRun, overall signal quality between 89% and 92% consistently. When I tune to specific channels and look at the readouts on my tuners, I’m seeing 100% signal strength and signal quality.
  2. May 28, 2007  Check the signal strength using the following command: hdhomerunconfig FFFFFFFF get /tuner0/status. 4) Select the program number. Hdhomerunconfig FFFFFFFF get /tuner0/streaminfo. Hdhomerunconfig FFFFFFFF set /tuner0/program. 5) Launch VLC and open network stream From the command line: vlc udp://@:1234. From the GUI: Launch VLC File - Open.
  3. NAS Install: detect WDC MyCloud drives with app support and auto-install the HDHomeRun DVR app. Mac: New HDHomeRun app for Mac (requires OS X 10.11 or newer). Record engine: Fix problem recording two sporting events of the same series at the same.
  4. A company Geniatech has taken over software support functions for the EyeTV app. Version 3.x of EyetV recommends OSX 10.6 or higher - and currently retails as a stand-alone app for around $89. It seems software development continues as various recent builds of EyeTV v3.6.x support Mac OSX ElCapitan and MacOS Sierra.

You will need:

VLC – http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
hdhomerun_config – http://www.silicondust.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1923

1) Discover HDHomeRun

Run “hdhomerun_config discover” to find the HDHomeRun units on the local network.

Correct, it is not a signal issue. I get the channels just fine with my Tivo. But I do not get the channels well with either the FireTV HDHomeRun app (ethernet) or the Mac HDHomeRun app (wifi). I will try the Macbook right next to the wireless router, but I am already less than 20 feet away with clear line of slight.

If you have more than one HDHomeRun on your network then replace the wildcard FFFFFFFF Device ID in the examples with the Device ID of the HDHomeRun you wish to control.

2) Run a channel scan

hdhomerun_config FFFFFFFF scan /tuner0

3) Set the channel

Antenna:
hdhomerun_config FFFFFFFF set /tuner0/channel 8vsb:Macos Hdhomerun Signal Strength Apps

6) Set the target for the video stream

Signal

hdhomerun_config FFFFFFFF set /tuner0/target :1234

Hdhomerun

Note that the target setting is automatically cleared if the target machine is not listening on the specified port. ie if VLC is not running or you quit VLC.

Troubleshooting

Hdhomerun Signal Strength App

Check the signal strength using the following command:
hdhomerun_config FFFFFFFF get /tuner0/status

Check the target using the following command:
hdhomerun_config FFFFFFFF get /tuner0/target

Hdhomerun Signal Meter

If it reports “none” then most likely the pc was not listening on the target port and the ip/port was automatically cleared. Double check the following and then set the target again:
– Check that VLC is running and is using “udp://@” or “udp://@:1234”.
– Check the IP address of the machine VLC is running on.
– Check that the port is not blocked by a firewall.

If the target is correct and the LED on the HDHomeRun indicates it is streaming video then the most likely problem is a firewall blocking the port (UDP port 1234 used in this example).
