Thread: HDHomerun Prime profile?

    Peter provided me a new Roku profile which works with the HDHomerun live stream. I've tested it and it works. It does take a few seconds for Roku to retrieve the stream and display. I presume that is due to transcoding. I actually use the HDHomerun DVR with Mezzmo and like PVR it drops them into folders where Mezzmo discovers them. VLC does have a Firefox extension for the reason Peter described, to act as a DMR. Folks wanted to play videos via from DLNA sources like (but much better than) the MS Media player. For a long time VLC didn't have this option nor to use a browser to launch VLC.

    That's good news. They've always been quick to fix any problems.
    I'm looking forward to trying the fix.

    Thanks for the update jbinkley60

    OK, seems to work on the standard definition channels, but it stops after 15 seconds or so the first time. If I restart and pause a few minutes and resume, it seems to be good. This being the same channel tested. CPU usage is at 30-40 percent (ffmpeg).

    Testing with an HD channel plays for about 3-4 seconds and stops. Restarting makes it severely pixilated. Unwatchable and PC is at 100% CPU again by ffmpeg. I assume that my computer just doesn't have the power needed.

    It's a Dell running an I5 quad core @3.1 GHz
    With 8gb ram. ffmpeg is 64bit ver.

    I wonder why my saved HD shows are playing OK. Could it be my bandwidth is not enough when retrieving the signal from the hdhomerun and Mezzmo transcoding?

    Thanks in advance,

    Ron

    A full transcode is being done of the stream from mpeg2video to h264 so this is probably too slow for HD. You can try going to 'Media Devices' and double-click the device then on the Performance tab set the max resolution to 720p or lower and this should speed up transcoding.

    Which specific i5 processor are you running ? You may be able to enable IQS HW encoding in the transcoding settings to resolve. I had no problem with HD channels but I have an nVidia card doing HW encoding.

    Here's a thread from May where we discussed the various CPU impacts. On my May 11th response I posted some test results. The 12mbs results were using the HDHomerun MPEG2 files. I just ran a test on an HD channel with HDHomerun and Mezzmo transcoding to my Roku unit. The CPU was 30% using an old AMD-FX8120 processor and an nVidia 1060 GPU. Based upon my IQS results for Intel you should see about 40% CPU with IQS enabled (maybe higher due to me using an i7 for my testing vs.your i5) if your processor can support IQS. But it should be less than 100%. This whole topic is why I avoid transcoding as much as possible and don't really like Roku units for streaming clients unless I can preformat the source files / streams into something Roku support natively.

    That did the trick. Working very good now, CPU is about 60% plus or minus. Picture still looks real good.

    As usual, great support!

    Thanks so much Peter.

    Thanks for the link, I'll take a look later.

    I'm not sure which specific CPU it is, but it's at least a few years old.

    I don't see any settings for IQS anywhere including the BIOS, and I Don't have an aftermarket video card in the PC.

    I agree about transcoding. Since I've got 3 Rokus and one Roku TV, I rip everything to support them (MP4 H264).

    The hdhomerun was sort of an experiment to see what I could do with it.

    One thing I found interesting is my Roku TV must have mpeg2 support built in, as hdhomerun works fine using The Roku media player. Hmmmm.

    Thanks for your input.

    IQS has been around for quite awhile and most Intel desktop CPUs (except the high end chips) have IQS support., You need to install the Intel IQS DLL so that Mezzmo can see it. See this Mezzmo Wiki page for more info. It isn't surprising that your TV has MPEG2 support. most do. The TV manufacturer included it not Roku. Roku has been the ones who have limited codec support including MPEG2. I don't believe any Roku hardware has MPEG2 support in their provided software.
