Alex, I am not sure it does whatever you want, but for streaming youtube and similar videos online, I find mpv to be quite sufficient and good for my needs. HTH! Best wishes, Ranjan On Mon Nov27'23 06:46:04PM, Mario Marietto wrote:

ps ax | grep -E 'tty2|pts/21' and see what is starting it on those terminals.

if you installed their software then it could be doing anything. it is very likely that they do not have anyone still around who remembers what the software does. You would have to look at it and see if it is a bunch of scripts and/or how it works. I use my HDhomeruns via mythtv. The hardest part of mythtv is the initial setup, once you get it setup about all I have had to do is update the channel list and/or run a scan every so often because the broadcast channels keep changing frequencies.

Hi, On Wed, Nov 29, 2023 at 2:48 PM Tim via users <users(a)lists.fedoraproject.org&gt; wrote: It just displays "udp://127.0.0.1:5000" in the Title. It does, but there's no ability to control which app is used. This was also confirmed by silicondust support in a roundabout way, at least. They said there's no ability to configure which app is used. It appears to me that it's hardcoded/compiled into the HDHomeRun app. strings and strace on a running binary appears to confirm this. Oh, I've also now looked at the fedora SRPM and see that it's hardcoded: $ grep -r vlc * src/Viewer.cpp: ExeName = "vlc"; src/Viewer.cpp: OSStatus appStatus = LSFindApplicationForInfo(kLSUnknownCreator, CFSTR("org.videolan.vlc"), NULL, NULL, &appURL); src/Viewer.cpp: g_string_sprintf(DebugPrefix, "%08lX-%u vlc:", (unsigned long)Dev->DeviceID, Dev->TunerIndex); I also tried to follow the instructions on starting vlc first from the command-line, so I can later try it with smplayer, but couldn't get it to work: https://forum.silicondust.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1924 Thanks, Alex
