      HDR-FOX T2 to HDHomeRun, my journey

      Hi, yes I looked into using BDA but it is pretty complicated and would take some hours to do although I might be able to find a C# wrapper to simplify things. I also contacted Hauppauge as they have C# code written to control their tuners and asked interested people to email them (presumably it...

      HDR-FOX T2 to HDHomeRun, my journey

      Absolutely, UDP is used for real-time video (Skype/Zoom conference calls etc) because it is light weight, and if packets are lost being real time you can't do a lot about it as the moment is gone. UDP packets also can and do arrive out of order and the network stack delivers them in that out of...

      HDR-FOX T2 to HDHomeRun, my journey

      I've now got an installer working to simplify the setup which was surprisingly complex to do but should be working. Currently the installer is for 64bit Windows, I can do a 32 bit version if anyone has need for one. Set up instructions are in the Google shared folder as a PDF, it is much...

      HDR-FOX T2 to HDHomeRun, my journey

      Ask away if you need to. In terms of the software I've been working on it to keep improving it. The latest version I'm testing is now using TCP rather than UDP from the HDHomeRun, this stops issues with packet loss on busier networks or when Wi-Fi is in the mix. This packet loss looks just...

      HDR-FOX T2 to HDHomeRun, my journey

      The EPG data as others have said isn't encrypted, it is compressed using a sort of look up table that is optimised for the type of text and how common words are repeated, to decompress the event information you need this table however it's pretty trivial to get that table or work it out and it...

      HDR-FOX T2 to HDHomeRun, my journey

      Not much is required, an HDHomeRun networked tuner, either their 2 tuner or 4 tuner boxes, and an always on Windows based PC. I should be able to tweak the software to work with power management so it turns on/off the PC but mine is always on for Plex music and video playback. For playback...

      HDR-FOX T2 to HDHomeRun, my journey

      This is exactly what led me to have a go and create some software as moving from the Humax to something non-Freeview approved with downloaded XML TV guides with less capable software seemed a backward step. Plex's guide data is hopeless, it has reams of complaints since they changed their EPG...

      HDR-FOX T2 to HDHomeRun, my journey

      As I'm not a Linux developer I just worked with what I know and as I have an always on Windows PC for Plex then its a good fit for me. I think for a Pie it would need to be written in C+ to get the performance required and that's a different thing to writing it in C# and the safety/reliability...

      HDR-FOX T2 to HDHomeRun, my journey

      A long time user here of the HDR-FOX T2 from the day it was launched, still going strong but due to finding 2 tuners often caused clashes and the inability to play videos easily elsewhere on other TVs or out of the home (cord cutting) , and the fact it may not last for ever, I thought I'd try a...
