The old reliable HDhomerun quit working.

[AJ Bertelson]

This is quite frustrating, my old reliable 100% working hdhomerun quit working with sagetv over the weekend. The HD homerun works just not with sagetv. I have verified this as I can watch live video from the HDHR through VLC. When I have attempted to watch live tv through the HDHR the light on the tuner just blinks once and I get this error with it

“There was a Capture Error in playback. Details: ERROR (-3,0x80070005): There was a problem accessing the filesystem for capture.”

And its that same error every single time. The system is just a WHS, with HD PVR and HD home run on a phenom X4. The strange thing about it is that my HD PVR is dead nuts reliable now no issues with recording. I have tried uninstalling the HDHR software removing the HDHR tuners from sage and I can not get it to work.

Try backing up, then deleting your sage.properties file. And then try to set up the HDHR in SageTv again and see what it says. I can't remember because it hasn't happened in a looong time and really only happened once when I was setting up/messing with my system, but I think I got a similar error once. I also think I was able to isolate the error in the properties file, but I can;t be sure.

Good luck!

This sure makes it sound like the problem is on the server end and has nothing directly to do with the HDHR. Something is preventing Sage from creating new files in your recording directory. Make sure your disk is in proper working order and has enough free space for new recordings.

I was getting that same error message (not sure about the number) with my recently setup Sage server -- in my case it was the Ethernet adapter built into the system on the motherboard (after I swapped the disk drive for a newer one with no obvious change).. I bought a $29 gigabit ethernet PCI adapter and the problem disappeared... Perhaps some windows patches were installed that might be causing some sort of issue? This is one reason (that I see occasionally at work) when the auto-patching feature of Windows should be disabled... If the system aint broken then don't mess with it..

Obviously I can't say that is the case here but just a thought..

If you Google 0x80070005 you'll find that it's an Access Denied error. So apparently something has changed on your system the prevents Sage from writing to the recording drive. Check your directory permissions and make sure Sage is running as a user with appropriate permissions.

I guess you weren't around a couple of years ago when the daylight-savings rules changed and a lot of people found their Sage systems recording the wrong programs because they hadn't been keeping up with Windows patches. In a connected world, your system can get broken even if you don't mess with it.

Fixed this a couple of days ago, it was a permissions issue that I missed.
