I have a desktop Windows machine with a Haupauge 2250 that I have setup as a media machine using qbittorrent for downloading a few movies and documentaries and WinTV to record a few over the air broadcast programs. It works fine however because I have to leave it on it is consuming power. When I found the low power consumption of the Raspberry PI 3 and could be left on 24/7 I got one and a Haupauge 955Q and have been setting it up (not easy because I am a self taught Windows boy…writing code is not in my playbook). So far qbittorent is working fine. I called Hauppauge about what media player would work with this linux based unit and they said Kaffeine so I installed it. Live TV is jerky but that’s okay because I don’t watch it on the PI; I transfer to my regular network and it plays fine. However the issues I have are; 1-When it is running (playing live TV) I get a temperature warning and when I go to shut off Kaffeine it warns me I have recordings scheduled, which I take to mean they won’t record when I shut it off. Will it still record if I shut it down? Or is there a way to “minimize” it so the temp doesn’t go so high? 2-When I have shut it down it seems to lose all of my saved TV stations. The names/numbers are still in the left window but all I get is black screen. How to fix that?
Kaffeine works correctly when configured properly. 1. This can happen if you record to SDCard on your PI! Change Kaffeine to store on a USB drive, make sure its externally powered or like me your mouse/keyboard may become flaky. on PI4 I'm able to record two shows at the same time while watching another show on Chromium. After setting up a show to record on the guide I'd recommend clicking the Stop button so live video doesn't display. 2. Click one of the channels to watch.
Created attachment 125046 [details] attachment-17012-0.html I already have everything go to a 64 gig flash drive. also only noticed heat warning when I left live TV going. it's the saving as an m2t file that's really a bitch. won't recognize on my samsung tv's so have to try and convert using VLC. convert to 1080 or 720 for TV it seems the audio won't sync plus it takes forever for them to convert. but on my 2250 in windows it seems to record and play fine. any ideas on that?

Converting formats is CPU intensive. CPU was the main cause of my overheating in the past. Simplest solution is to play the recording/recorded video using the Pi over an HDMI to the TV. The MPlayer (SMPlayer is better because it remembers your spot when you resume) can play the format and seems to perform better for me. I am using an external Sata III hard drive, which seems faster than a flash drive.
