Hi - I have been trying Channels DVR this weekend after using SageTV for many years. It looks very promising. I have an HDHR-Quatro and HDHR-Prime plus TVEverywhere setup with Channels and everything has been running mostly great except for two things:
(1) TV playback sometimes gets frequent pauses while watching either of the HDHR sources (it's not my network or settings) - I can tell you that my SageTV DVR running on a very similar PC does not have this issue with the tuners, same network, same switches - this does NOT happen with TVE channels
(2) I cannot get any ripped movies or TV shows to show up in my library - previously this was working, but I changed Channels to run as a service, then I deleted the folders from the Channels DVR library setup, I re-organized some files (re-named) and added the folders back - now I can't get anything to show up - not sure if it has something to do with running as a service or something else - the library folders for movies and tv are on a network share
Some background: I work as an engineer at a company making networking equipment (33 years experience) and have been a heavy user of cablecard and OTA tuners for over 10 years, mostly with SageTV and WMC with Ceton, Hauppauge and HDHR equipment.
Any thoughts on either of these issues?
