Just installed 1.1.5 on my streaming client (server still 1.0.16) to test out plugins and stuff - everything fine so far...
I had a look at NetRadio for the first time and I'm getting a problem which might be related to ralphy's ... but different symptoms... When I doubleclick on a station nothing appears to happen but I see this in the log...

I suspect it is looking for somewhere to create a buffer for the stream...
When I was running v99.12 I was able to set both of my MVP's to the same net radio channel and they would play in sync with each other. It's great for streaming music through the whole house. But since the upgrade to 1.0.16 and then 1.1.5 they won't play in sync any longer. There is a a delay between them now. Has the behavior of GBPVR changed with respect to this?
Recently I had a spectacular computer failure. My Silent AOpen I855GMe-LFS, Pentium M 1.5GHz, GBPVR PC has been running continuously for 1.5 years. I was away recently for a number of weeks and one night the family noticed a funny burning smell, after investigating they couldn't find any noticable buring items.
Well the next day the GBPVR system didn't boot up when the kids tried to use it. I could only attempt so much tech support over the phone from 3000km away. The best remedy was to unplug it from the power and check it out later.
Upon closer examination I found that one chip had basically erupted. That would cause a failure and a nice burnt smell. I had never seen that happen before so I took a pictures just in case others wanted to see what could happen.
Has this happened or similar to anyone else's GBPVR PC?
It seems that my channel tuning is slightly off. Only change was an upgrade to the video card. I get a green vertical band on the LiveTV feed and the colorization is off in general. However, the Tuning assistant displays perfectly as does using the DScaler app with the tuner as the input.
I tried updated to the new version, but I'm thinking perhaps the channel designations from SD is off from my local service? Is there a way to change the tuning frequency manually?
There is a new thread on the Community Skin support forum that will be used for all future release notifications. I will no longer clutter up "Community Announcements" with update posts.
This is a sticky thread that will be used from this point foward to announce the latest releases and change log. I will also try to include a todo list on each update.
From .5 survival guide
A bug has been found in multi-tuner environments that can cause the first of recording in back to back recordings to cut short. Its resolved by applying the attached patch.
oh crap, I am in sooo much trouble.
Does anyone has the last 5mins of the Classical Star final that was on this evening that they could make available to me?
Maybe these cards are overkill, but if you can suggest a cheaper card that will ensure no HDTV juddering in PVRx2, then i would be open to suggestions. If not which of the two cards would be optimal for a DVR PC. I don't have power, noise, or heat restrictions. I will mainly be using DVI as output, but i also have a DVI-HDMI converter.
