Once again, babgvant came through like a ROCK STAR! The patch is tiny, takes seconds to download and apply, and totally fixed the problem.

I can't express my gratitude adequately!

I concur. I have SageDCT 2.6 working with the latest HDR Prime firmware. Thank you, thank you.

This is what I get for not leaving well enough alone, but...

I am trying to add a HDHR Prime on my system (Sage 7.1.9, Java 1.8.0_40, 2 HDHRs for OTA, HD-PVR/Comcast cable box). The Comcast CableCARD is paired, HDHR software installed, and I am able to view channels using VLC or HDHR View. I tried PrimeNetEncoder with no success and thought I would try SageDCT since it looks a bit more user friendly. SageDCT 2.6.0.0 is installed, when I click Scan on the Discover tab nothing happens. The log files show that the scan was completed, but no tuners are shown and the "Generate Assignments" button stays grayed out. Within SageTV I can add the Prime Tuners, but when I try to watch any of the CableCARD stations I get a "No Signal" message .

As far as I can tell UPNP is enabled in Windows and on my router. FWIW, the HDHR Prime is listed in the Verbose logs.

In the HDHR Setup software should the Source Type for the Prime be set as a CableCARD or Digital Cable? I've read both in various threads.

Any help would be appreciated,

Windows Firewall is active and on a "Public Network".

A long time ago, nyplayer posted a batch file that could be run from task scheduler to restart SageDCT, SageTV, or the PC (or run any other command) only when SageTV was not recording.

Here's the link to that batch file: http://forums.sagetv.com/forums/show...20&postcount=4

I need to get something like that working so I can run a command to restart the HDHomeRun Prime tuners themselves, using this command:

"C:\Program Files\Silicondust\HDHomeRun\hdhomerun_config.exe" <HDHRP Device ID> set /sys/restart self

The problem is that I cannot get this batch file to work. The hangup appears to be that nothing is returned from the wget command that accesses the SageTV http 8080 port (wget.exe --tries=1 --directory-prefix="%temppath%" "http://userassword@127.0.0.1:8080/sage/Home"). I'm using sage:frey as the userassword.

I saw reference in another post that a user was able to directly access http://127.0.0.1:8080/sage/Home in a web browser, getting a login/password request in return. But when I attempt that, I get an HTTP 404 page not found error.

Is there something I need to do in sage.properties or Detailed Setup to enable that web interface? I've looked but haven't found anything.

Any other hints to getting that batch file to work, or any other similar batch routines that folks have used?

I would assume you need to be running the webserver or a similar plugin that listens on port 8080 for this to work.

That is correct also you have to make sure that wget is in the same folder as the batchfile.

That's what I figured, but I don't know which plugin or which property. It looks like there are potentially several different elements of SageTV or associated plugins that might listen on 8080.

Make Sure plugin "Sagetv Web Interface" is installed.... on the server. Then you can configure "Jetty Web Server" Plugin to what port you want and user etc... then you can make sure batch file is setup correctly.

What ever port and user is in the "Jetty Web Server" is what the batchfile must use.

Thanks! I'll give it a try.

All have any of you had your channels converted from mpeg2 to h.264(mpeg4) yet? Comcast in my area has converted a couple of channels and now it seems like these channels are not working with sage dct.

How would we know?

[KryptoNyte]

Download "MediaInfo" and check the file attributes with it.

[Gustovier]

What's strange is that i can go into the sage dct service control app and from there I can send a command to record one of my h264 channels (in this case cnn hd) to a file. The file is created and from there I can see it's an h264 file and it plays fine in vlc. But somehow the sage doesn't interface properly with these h264 channel captures.

[KryptoNyte]

I wonder if this has something to do with the "dump" versus "ffmpeg" method in the SageDCT settings. Which method are you using?

[Gustovier]

I use ffmpeg. Are you getting h264 channels? Which method do you use?
