Not all clients have access to plugin settings/preferences. I usually use Plex/Web to set the settings/preferences.

Clients that can't access settings/preferences:

  • Plex for iOS
  • Plex for Roku

HDHomeRun IP

Enter the HDHomeRun IP address. It is recommended to set a static IP address for the HDHomeRun device.

You can set a static IP for your homerun device by configuring DHCP Static Leases in your router. If you do not have this option, increasing the Client Lease Time to a large number. Refer to your Router’s Manual.

Set it to auto to let HDHR Viewer 2 automatically discover the tuners.

You can manually specify multiple tuners. Field is space delimited.
