Using MS Loopback Driver for UNC path with a HD Homerun (HDHR)

[jprine01]

Not sure if hardware support is the right category, Its a software but not sage software

I'm using MS loopback device so I can use my UNC paths (everything in sage is setup this way) if my network gets disconnected. I got all my media extenders working from the right IP and all the little bugs out. But every time I reboot my computer, the HDHomeRun manager errors connecting to the HDHomeRun's. My Sage GUI opens full screen on startup and I cannot tune channels because my capture devices are missing. I have to exit out of sage, open up HDHomeRun Manager that is already running, click rescan. All my HDHomeRuns popup instantly, I start Sage and all is well until the next reboot.

My HDHomeRun Manager 100% did connect automatically before I installed the loopback driver. Anyone have this problem or a solution??

Thanks!

You could try changing the order of the network connections.

Open "Network Connections" in Control Panel, select the "Advanced" menu, then "Advanced Settings..." Try swapping the order of the "loop back adapter" and the actual network connection.

Worked perfectly! Thanks! The Loopback device was the last thing I added, but it was listed on top. HDHR Manager connects on startup now.
