I have set up GBPVR with a client server set up. I must say it works really well! Best settings are TS mux (cyberlink mux stuttered very badly) and I'm using file sharing, not streaming. My server is only a fanless Via Epia system and CPU usage is low, network only peaks at about 8% on a 100Mb LAN. I'm very optimistic that it will work fine over 54g wireless - I plan to try it at some point.
Anyway the problem I have now is that the server goes into standby after 1hr. When I turn my client machine on, if the server isn't there it creates some problems. Trying to run PVRX2 only results in me having to use the task manager to shut it down. I had to wake up the server first using wake on lan, then close down GBPVR tray, restart recording status, and then start everything back up for it to work. What would be much better would be to have a client that recognizes when the server isnt there and have an option to wake up the server. If PVRX2 could run without crashing then I could have my own custom task in the main menu to run wake on lan from the comand prompt. But I would still need better server / client comunication for it to work without having to manually click on restart recording service.
