Server Error during SageTV newbie install attempt during Setup Wizard - on Windows 10

Doing a quick check: now, in Windows 10, HDHomerun configured with the built-in? Quickview, I am seeing a video lag in High Definition about the same as with SageTV.

Configuring HDHomeRun Preview Application with VLC in Setup, it might be a little better.

I don't remember this ever being a noticeable-to-the-level-of-distraction problem in Windows 7. I suppose I could be wrong about something, but I am reporting to the best of my memory/ability.

OK, so it seems you have an issue unrelated to SageTV. There is a recent post on Silicondust's forums about audio sync issues in Win 10. You can find that discussion here. Otherwise, I am out of my element unless someone else chimes in with a few ideas.

Excellent find! Thank you very much.

Just my $0.02. This EPG thing is a bit misleading. I have a key and ended up going back to v7 where the zipcode lookup worked fine.

the V9 install asks for an "EPG license key", which the first time through did not register in my mind as being equivalent to my V7 SageTV Server License. So I did not enter it. And thus could not get the EPG zip lookup to work.

After entering my V7 key in the V9 installer splash screen, the zip to epg lookup seems to be working. It would be much better, if whom ever is compiling the installer could change the text on that message to something like.

"Enter your V7 or V6 SageTV Server License Key below if you would like to continue to use the Original V7 Electronic Program Guide service and provider lookup process. Otherwise you will have to find an alternative EPG Provider"

"SageTV.exe Register" doesn't seem to do anything in V9, so you only seem to get that one shot at entering a key. Rerunning setup only gives an uninstall and repair option.

FYI, you can set the key without using the installer by adding an environment variable from the system control panel - but yes, rerunning the installer is probably easier for most. Still, that doesn't really apply to the OP here, who doesn't have an original sagetv license key.

Both the FFDshow and LAV filters have there own separate configurations, outside of SageTV. I know the LAV filters cofiguration is seperated into one config for video and one config for audio, and IIRC the same is true for FFDshow.

Thank you again, UgaData. I will investigate.
