HD-300 No video

[vividweb]

I have an HD300 that has recently quit playing any video. It boots just fine into the menu's, everything looks good until you playback a file. Doesn't seem to matter if it is a HDPVR recording, or an MKV it just outputs a black screen, you can press play or pause and it will bring up the OSD when the screen goes black, but no audio or video are output.

Not sure where to start troubleshooting, I think I am going to swap it with another HD300 and see what that does. Looked briefly through the logs, but didn't really show anything.

Any one else have this issue?

A lot of times if this happens to me, I find unplugging the sage device, waiting about a minute, then plugging it back in fixes it. If not, after unplugging I will reboot the computer running as the server.

I am guessing that all of the video is black.. no sound, etc?

This happens to me when I play something that is corrupt and then everything I play after that does not properly display.


If in doubt, reboot.

all video is black and no sound.

Unplugged it to replace with a spare HD200. (May have to find a spare 300 now). and tested it on another TV, and everything worked again. Seems like the disconnect power will be the next test if this happens again.
