KarterJK 35 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 (edited) the app works well (using it on my android phone as a test), but one interesting thing... Where I live I have Comcast TV (cable) and on our lower channels, example 2 - 75 we get SD Standard definition TV while HD channels example 722 - 775 are our HD High Definition TV the channels and guide are the same except one is SD and the other HD what is interesting I can watch the lower channels in SD but when I try to view the HD channels they won't play. I have boosted my bitrate thinking that might matter but, doesn't seem to make a difference. Any ideas? Edited March 5, 2015 by KarterJK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSattler 387 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Could be a couple of different things. What tuners are you using? If HDHomerun can you use their view app on a pc to watch the channels? What do the serverwmc logs say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If HDHomerun can you use their view app on a pc to watch the channels? What do the serverwmc logs say? Yes I run HDHomerun Primes 3 of them and the view app works fine, no problem. Everything works great for every other function Media browser app, local ip, network connection, Windows Media Center, all browsers. In the Android app the only thing that I can't display, are the HD Channels. I will have to delete the log and do testing to get a good ServerWMC log. I thought, it might be a common problem, with an easy fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you try turning down the transcoding/bandwidth? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSattler 387 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Are the android devices connecting via WIFI? Can you try turning down the transcoding/bandwidth? So was just doing some reading in the HdHomerun threads, and apparently not many Android devices support mpeg-2 natively. Some devices have the decoder built in, but not enabled, many devices simply do not have it. That's why SD works because it's a smaller stream and the device can handle transcoding it, where as with HD it fails. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarterJK 35 Posted March 7, 2015 Author Share Posted March 7, 2015 (edited) Are the android devices connecting via WIFI? Can you try turning down the transcoding/bandwidth? ahhh success, I had tried it both WIFI and on roaming, but I turned my bandwidth down to 850kbps and that did it, Prior I had tried 2.5mbps on up to 25, I guess the higher limit was to much for my cheapie $29 dollar phone to keep up with. I knew, it would be a easy fix LOL Thanks alot Edited March 7, 2015 by KarterJK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
