I tried it and saw the same result as reported above.

So finally had time to update today. Didn’t turn on the playback detection or heartbeat- may do that later but it's not high on priority. Mainly looking for the CC options.
Like the new web interface @mackid1993
Had to wipe the adb authorizations on all (3) Osprey's and reauthorize. So all (3) tuners are working correctly now.
On the CC page, I selected "Choose automatically", added CC to every stream, Parakeet Unifed is highlighted and selected. On the client, CC shows as Track 1 and selected but no CC are coming thru. Not sure how to fix "the shared tuner does not answer”

Updating thru Portainer pulling the repull image toggle
Stop the ah4c stack. Go into the Portainer-Stacks Editor. Delete the current Docker Compose, and paste in the latest one as posted here:
You updated your env var overrides (though there are several mistakes), but not the Docker Compose. Check the date of your compose versus the one I put in the linked post.

My bad - I thought repulsing the image would do everything. Corrected.

- PLAYBACK_DETECTION=${PLAYBACK_DETECTION:-false} # Set to TRUE to hold the stream until the device reports media audio playing and the picture is actually moving, then start on a keyframe, so a recording begins on the program rather than on the app's loading screen.

Piped through the bundled ffmpeg with -ss and stream copy; no re-encoding, and the skip starts on the next keyframe so it can run slightly past the configured value. The value is the total tune time, scripts included. Supported range is 2 to 30, since the DVR allows a tune about 30 seconds; values outside the range are clamped and logged. Ignored when PLAYBACK_DETECTION is TRUE; network tuners only. 0 or unset leaves the feature off.
- PLAYBACK_STATIC_TIMEOUT=${PLAYBACK_STATIC_TIMEOUT} # Only used with PLAYBACK_DETECTION=TRUE. How many seconds the box may keep the exact player and media session it already had before the check stops watching adb and gates on motion alone. The default is 2, which suits Ospreys; apps that hold one player across channel changes, like the DirecTV app, need more. 0 or unset uses the default.

Is the iGPU working? Even if it is, you may need to be on the least resource intensive model. Your processor is pretty low-end.

For the most part, it's better. Captions are about 4-5 secs behind. I took it off Automatic and selected the GPU thru Vulcan. Accuracy is acceptable.
I did run it thru the CPU and it takes 35-40%. Running thru the GPU is 3-6%.
I may move this over to my Mac Mini M4 Pro which is only running PrismCast at this time. I'm pretty sure it would handle it better.

The M4 Mac will run it a lot better, but only on CPU, but it's not going to be a problem on the CPU on that machine.
Just as an aside, I want to tease. I've been working on support for longer delays, so you can essentially delay as long as you possibly could want to cover up the tuning process. So I've been able to get it to delay up to 5 minutes, and I haven't tried any longer because I don't have the patience. The environment variable doesn't change at all. It's just typing in 300 instead of 30 if you needed to delay 5 minutes for some reason. I don't know why anyone would need to do that, but it's good if you have a very long tuning process, such as 30 seconds or something, 35 seconds.
Most importantly, I have built pre-roll support. So while you're tuning, it will play a pre-roll either video or still image of whatever you choose. Now, the caveat with pre-roll support if your encoder is spitting out H.264, it works just fine, and ah4c will handle the conversion process of whatever your pre-roll is to H.264 to stitch it all together with the actual video that's going to be played. Now, if your encoder is spinning on H.265, you do have to convert it and supply H.265 yourself, whether it be a still image or a video that loops. And everything will loop automatically, by the way. So, if your timeout or tuning process is longer than the video that is being supplied, it will just loop until it completes.
If anyone's interested in demoing this, feel free to pull mackid1993/ah4c:latest from Docker Hub.
- ENCODER_CODEC=${ENCODER_CODEC:-h264} You need this environment variable if you want to use H.265 in your env. Just set it to h265.
To actually use pre-roll, you must set a new bind mount. This is where the actual video or image is stored.
- ${PREROLL_FILE:-${HOST_DIR}/ah4c/preroll}:/opt/preroll # A video or still image to show the DVR wherever it would otherwise be sent NULL packets: a tune held by PLAYBACK_DELAY or PLAYBACK_DETECTION, and an encoder stall covered by NULL_FRAME_INSERTION. Set PREROLL_FILE to the file's path on the host, or leave it blank and drop the file into this bound host directory, which stays empty unless you use one. Anything ffmpeg reads. It is prepared once at container start (remuxed when its codecs already suit a transport stream, encoded to H.264/AAC otherwise; a still becomes a 10 second clip with silent audio), starts the instant the DVR asks, before the box is even woken, loops for as long as the tune takes, and stops the moment the real stream is ready
I'm linking to my updated README with my changes, so it's a little bit more clear. There are also instructions to use FFmpeg to create your own pre-rolls that work with H.265. I recommend just sticking to H.264 because it's a bit more compatible.
New bnhf/olivetin:latest (aka bnhf/olivetin:2026.08.28) pushed with the Project One-Click for ah4c updated to include support for all of the latest changes. Up to, and including, the enhanced PLAYBACK_DELAY and pre-roll support described just above.
Many thanks to @mackid1993 for another amazing contribution, as pre-roll support now allows you to fill the slot between when you initiate a tune for a channel, and when the channel starts playing.
These pre-rolls can be videos or static images. I'm currently using this one:
Though I like this one too:
Use your imagination, and be sure to post what you're using here so others can use it too. @mackid1993 was testing with a video from the 50s that was an animated encouragement to go get some snacks at the movie theater. There are all kinds of classics out there to choose from! Static images are probably best for those with very quick tune times.

my internet must have had a hiccup this morning, and all my recordings have this screen
log was packed full of
2026/08/28 11:34:27 [CC] tuner0 a minute of audio with no speech found in it; resetting the level detector
can we get ah4c to try to re-tune when the detector is triggered for too long?
Interesting idea!
I saw your other post, but since it records all day it never tried to re-tune. I went ahead and set my padding to end 10 sec early so ah4c tunes for every recording.
another thought I had would be a round-robin setting so even if a tuner has the channel tuned, ah4c grabs another one (but extra tuners/encoders would be needed.)
edit, this is a similar experience when the internet goes out for more than a few minutes
There was nothing to retune, though. What the boxers were putting out was garbage. Like every Osprey was putting out garbage video. So there was nothing to attempt to retune, because AH4C had no understanding of what was being played. It assumed that the regular program was being aired. DirecTV was just playing the same loop of content over and over again, and/or the same commercial over and over again, and/or just buffering and crapping out. There's really no good way for us to detect that. If it happens to be that the service provider has an issue, I don't think we can really fix that.
