Hi gED, Thank you for your reply. The theme was working alright however upon refreshing was not. Cannot explain really as worked fine in IE7 (normally do not like using IE as prefer Firefox).

Are you able to help with the VLC problem at all please?.

Am I right in saying that all that needs to be done in order to schedule recordings remotely via the internet is to port forward port 7674 (for the IP address of the PC that GB-PVR is running on)?.

This is correct. And if you install VLC you will also have the ability to stream videos and music at various bitrates and sizes.....if you want to do this you need to install VLC and then open port 7648 and have your router forward it to the GBPVR PC. Make sure to open the ports 7647/7648 on the GBPVR pc as well.

Just need to work out why WMP won't play a recorded program. Think that WMP 11 download is needed.

I think that this may be because WMP cannot find a compliant mpeg codec. upgrading to WMP11 may not fix this.


download VLC instead - it will play anything and is needed if you want to watch videos via the web interface.

Hi gED,

Thank you for your reply. You're 100% it is a codec problem. WMP11 made no difference whatsoever. Not sure what VLC is but shall do a search on the GB-PVR forum and download asap.

WMP wants to download the whole file before it begins playing it. VLC will not do this. If you install VLC you will have a new button to Stream rather than Play or Download. If you Stream then WMP will work fine as well.

But I must say....VLC still beats WMP for playing files.

Hi UncleJohnsBand,

Thank you for your reply. Think that I'd prefer to use VLC once configured correctly via the web-interface config/set-up. If you could advise how you'd recommend going about doing this that'd be appreciated.

Thank you .

Download VLC.
Install it.....I just use the defualt install directory.
During the install I select to associate all media file extensions that VLC supports to VLC.
After it is installed start up VLC.
Click on the settings menu option.
Select Add Interface.
Select Web Interface.
Close VLC.

Start EWA and go to the Config Tab.
Set the VLC location to where you installed it. Mine looks like this: C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\Vlc\
Set stream player to VLC
Check the box to open stream in external player.
Here is a snapshot of how I have my stuff configured.

Hi UncleJohnsBand,

Thank you for your reply. I'll try to re-configure VLC this evening and post back on this thread.
