Attached are 4 log files. The two that start with Placeshifter are the logs from where it works successfully. The other two are from the Sage Client SW where the generation fails.

The only difference I see is that in the failing log files, the file name is preceded with "stv://127.0.0.1/".

I will look into this hopefully in a few days. Work has been crazy, and I am trying to catch up so I can do my fun side work

I think you are probably on the right track. I did add some work arounds to this. I wonder if there is a new one I need to add.

Thanks! I appreciate your efforts in keeping SageTV alive!

I reviewed the code, and that is definitely the issue! This should be an easy fix. Hopefully I will have a patch out in a week or so.

I am addressing stv://localhost, but not stv://127.0.0.1. This should hopefully be an easy fix. In general this version of the SageTVTranscoder does not support the stv:// protocol. I am just translating these by removing the stv://localhost portion so that it accesses the file using UNC or local file access.

Adding support for STV:// protocol is in the backlog for enhancement in the future.

First, thank you for your work on this. I've been using Sage since before the Google acquisition and really appreciate some of the with to modernize with the mini client and updated transcoder.

I just installed the new transcoder plugin and the required safe.jar. One of the quirks I've noticed is when watching on an Android tv device (tivo stream 4k), I get some flashing on the screen (best way I can describe it). I've tried playing with the transcoder settings in the mini client but it continues to do this. Any ideas?

In settings for the android client set opengl this solved it for me on the tivo 4k

That is interesting! I am glad there was a fix. I wonder why the other rendering option is causing that issue. I have not seen this behavior on the devices I have at home. I might need to get a tivo stream for testing.

I believe this issue is resolved in version 1.0.2. Let me know if you are still seeing issues with it.

Thanks,
