Hi all,
Bit of a newbie, but hopefully I won't appear so for long
System Details - In case it matters
Shuttle SN95G5V2 - Win XP SP2
1Gb RAM
2 x 160Gb 7200rpm HD's
GeForce 5200 FX
Hauppage MediaMVP (got it on Saturday)
Hauppage Nova-T-USB2 (got it today so not even out of the box)
I've installed GBPVR and configured it to do most of the basics running the interface locally (I'll call this machine Host) as well as via the MediaMVP so I'm quite happy with all that.
In addition, I have a medium spec PC upstairs (I'll call this Client) connected via a 54MBit Wireless LAN (running @ 48Mbits) which I wanted to stream to (video/music/films/TV pretty much everything if possible). The machine has no TV capture card and the hard drive only has 1Gb spare so not much room for storing media.
I installed GBPVR on Client and configured a shortcut on the desktop to c:\program files\devnz\gbpvr\gbpvr.exe with the 'Start In' pointing to the Host ("\\host\c$\program files\devnz\gbpvr" for example).
I then reconfigured the Host video and music library directories to point to shares I created called \\host\films & \\host\music respectivly so that the Client would recognise the directories on the network.
Surprisingly (to me anyways) this works! :eek:
I was wondering if anyone else had come across this kind of configuration and if there was a 'preffered' method for running in a PC Client -> PC Host configuration?
Any other comments would be appreciated.
Cheers
J
