New Setup - WHS - Sage (Converting from Media Center)
OK... I am looking at switching from Windows Media Center to Sage...
Platform: WHS – P4 3gig – 1Gig or RAM 500Gig HD Space Loaded HDHomerun Drivers Loaded Sage WHS Version – Latest from the WWW Site Testing Client version of sage on Laptop 1.2gig 512 RAM Only Loaded with XP Pro and Sage Client – Fresh Install ISSUE: I tested HDHomerun on the Server and confirmed that I can see video and Audio through VLC Media Player. I then went to the client and through the Setup Wizard. Video would not play where it asked you to test Basic/Standard/Advanced. It seemed to find the HDHomerun, but it will not play any video. I even tested a Divx File and still not video. I am not sure where to go to continue testing... Do I need divx/xvid drivers on the client? Any Help would be greatly greatly appreciated... |

I have a divx Movie that I can play with out issue through Media player, but when I try the Sage client, I get a rendering error... *Confused* |

The video will not show up when doing that testing. They really should fix that or explain it better. Just skip it and proceed as normal as if it did. Let us know if you still can't see video after running through the whole setup.

SageTV setup on WHS machines can get tricky, but not difficult to solve, so will be glad to help.

Make sure to actually choose your video decoder on the Sage client-don't leave it at default.
Turn off the firewall on the WHS server and the client and see if that does any better. Make sure to finish the configuration of your tuner and skip through the preview. Just choose the correct tuner input and proceed. Gerry

Thank you for thaking the time to reply...
I will give our sugestions a try tonight... I also purchased the Sage Hauppauge Media Extender. Thinking that this might eliminate any issues that might be related to the client. That way I can confirm that the WHS side is working well. It sounds like I need to use a different video decoder on the client, I left the one that came with the software thinking that would be best.. Thank you for your help.. Will report tomorrow. Can you Recomend a Decoder? ffdshow? Last edited by wsturner; 06-13-2008 at 06:59 AM. |

Uggg. Make sure you didn't actually buy the Hauppauge media extender. It is SD only.
You need to buy the SageTV HD Media Extender. It should be $200. |

I did.... For the kids TV.... If this works I will get 2 of the HD Versions..
$100 - If it works.. Kids are set.. If not, I will return it to Amazon... This should be good for TESTING? Right? That was the intent... Last edited by wsturner; 06-13-2008 at 05:28 PM. |

UPDATE: Installed the MVP media Extender... - All Videos XVID/DIVX now seem to play on the extender... My Connection to the HDHomeRun is still not working... There is a TON of traffic between the HDHomerun and WHS along with Traffic between WHS and MVP... Just no video....
