[19:08:21] twiggy2cents: I am having some problems from ATSC channels, channels that are of great signal and quality are creating damaged recordings. I am using HDHR4-US's and I am getting recordings with bad signal artifacts. Can this type of failure happen from network congestions or hdd failures or is it limited to bad signal?
[19:32:32] Kwisher: twiggy2cents: does livetv work fine?
[19:33:25] Kwisher: i have one hdhrprime and 2 hdhr duals that work fine
[19:34:21] Kwisher: i have not problem with multiple recordings going at the same time
[19:37:49] twiggy2cents: yeah seems to, my issue is that I never think to check when the recordings are happening

[19:38:18] twiggy2cents: I cant imagine a near perfect signal according to the hdhr config can drop out so much that I get bad recordings but maybe

[19:38:45] Kwisher: is your lan gigabit?
[19:45:54] twiggy2cents: Yeah but the HDHR4's are only 100mbit
[19:46:20] twiggy2cents: I dont think its network congestion though. I have two and have done 4 streams at once with no issues
[19:46:42] Kwisher: hard disks?
[19:46:52] twiggy2cents: I feel like I really need to be on top of the recordings and try to see signal strength when its recording
[19:47:03] twiggy2cents: Just 3.5 sata hdd
[19:47:22] twiggy2cents: One is failing, I just ordered one for it
[19:47:50] Kwisher: that could be the issue
[19:47:52] twiggy2cents: It just doesnt seem like corrupt file as much as bad signal but my signal seems good
[19:48:00] twiggy2cents: I am going to replace the hdd and see I suppose
[19:48:29] Kwisher: can you remove the failing drive from the recording pool?
[19:49:16] Kwisher: in the b/e setup
[19:49:21] twiggy2cents: yeah, I probably should do that. I have two drives on that machine and I feel if I remove it I am going to lose a lot of shows until I migrate it to the new one.
[19:49:42] twiggy2cents: Unless I can remove it from the recording pool but not a storage group
[19:49:54] twiggy2cents: I have them defined under the default sg for recording
[19:51:34] Toast (Toast!~quassel@w-247.cust-16293.ip.static.uno.uk.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[19:56:58] Kwisher: so manually play some video samplings from both drives to see if you see a pattern of file problems related to the failing drive
[19:57:57] Kwisher: you can move recordings from the failing drive to the other drive if you have the free space
[20:17:04] twiggy2cents: I dont have the space, I will try to pull some samples from each drive. The new drive should be here in a few days so I will probably just hold off on retiring the drive till the new one gets here.
[20:36:34] twiggy2cents: On a side note, it looks like home built dvr systems that support linux might be growing.
[20:37:05] twiggy2cents: I saw that plex offers dvr, with the plex pass $5/mo subscription and hdhomerun is working on their own
[20:37:35] twiggy2cents: I thought about the plex one but I've been with Mythtv for so long and it offers so much more.
[20:37:45] Kwisher: yep
[20:38:02] twiggy2cents: Not that it needs to change but its a shame that development has slowed down to the point of mostly bug fixes and not much feature additions

[21:24:08] twiggy2cents: I think it might be network related, I am watching a channel that the hdhr config says is 100% signal and quality. It still goes blocky intermittently. Looks identical to a bad signal
[21:24:49] Kwisher: is your livetv being stored on the same drive?
[21:25:15] Kwisher: failing drive
[21:25:36] twiggy2cents: This is using the HDHR config. It creates a UDP stream
[21:25:44] twiggy2cents: To a different computer
[21:25:58] Kwisher: ahh, not using the f/e
[21:26:25] twiggy2cents: correct, technically not using mythtv at all
[21:27:08] Kwisher: could be a bad nic on the b/e or a flaky switch ???
[21:27:23] twiggy2cents: So the HDHR'
[21:27:26] twiggy2cents: oops hangon
[21:27:39] Kwisher: well, the b/e wouldn't be the issue with using the hdhr config
[21:28:41] twiggy2cents: So the HDHR's are hooked up to the router, then there is some switches throughout the house for the rest. When streaming over wireless AC to a laptop I see no issue. Now that means I need to see if it is isolated to the computer I'm using or my wired network
[21:30:18] Kwisher: hardwire a laptop to each switch & router
[22:01:38] twiggy2cents: Well I have some news, albeit kind of bad. If I take a computer and plug it straight into the router and the HDHR to the router the stream will still get artifacts, at the same time wireless works fine. If I plug the HDHR straight into the computer and do link-local the stream plays with no issues
[22:02:25] twiggy2cents: It looks like an issue with the router. I'm running DD-WRT right now, I might see about updating the f/w. I love dd-wrt but updating the firmware is so cryptic
[22:03:07] Kwisher: how old is the router?
[22:04:24] twiggy2cents: Not that old. It is a tp-link archer c7
[22:04:28] twiggy2cents: purchased it in '15
[22:04:50] Kwisher: i assume gig switching?
[22:05:07] twiggy2cents: Yep
[22:05:19] Kwisher: got a spare to test with?
[22:06:02] twiggy2cents: yeah, I just dont want to dig it out. It is old reliable, wrt54g
[22:06:20] Kwisher: lol, i have a couple of those

[22:49:36] twiggy2cents: Alright so I updated the firmware of the router and there was no change, did a factory reset(I have a lot of saved settings that I nuked with this process) and the concern is gone.
[22:50:58] twiggy2cents: I think I will try restoring the backup and see if it goes back to screwed up. If it does then I will have to reconfigure by hand. At least I found what is causing the video issues. It's crazy, the concern looked identical to bad signal but ended up being the router screwing everything up
