So I was trying to figure out why several items that I had scheduled were not recording as expected.
It seems that unfortunately the “DRM” detection is not always correct on the Prime. In this particular case, it seems that the HDHR is NOT detecting that channel 606 is DRM. Channels will try to stream, but will get an error 503. The TA responds with “Channel is temporarily unavailable” and the hdhr responds with “rejecting request from 192.168.1.223 - no video data”
The only way around it is to manually disable the channel from either the HDHR web interface or the DVR interface…
Validated that it is not a channels issue by using VLC to try to stream the channel from that tuner. Other channels (702, 704, 711) all streamed OK.
606 is STARZHD here (which is understandably DRM protected…) but as mentioned, unfortunately was not being auto detected as DRM by the HDHR and thus neither could Channels DVR on its own.
BTW during this time period there was no other tuner activity on this unit (all three tuners were available). The next scheduled item was 4 hrs away.
– [times are not exact between HDHR and Channels logs… but the items are the same repeating]
