Recordings Share & TV Buffer Share disabled

[Bazsl]

Here are the client and server logs. Both the client and server PCs are running XP Pro SP3. The network is 100 megabit ethernet.

You'll need to set the server logging level back to debug, and redo it, and repost the logs.

Sorry. Here are the logs with the server set to debug.

The cause isnt immediately obvious to me.

Does the c:\temp directory exist on the server?

If you disable live preview mode, does live tv work directly on the server?

[Bazsl]

c:\temp does exist. If I disable live preview mode live TV does NOT work on the server. Note that the server has two hard drives, c: and e:. I have the live TV buffer set to e:\temp which does exist, and the video output directory set to e:\MyVideos.

When I tried live TV on the server with live preview mode disabled I got a black window. When I tried to close PVRX2 I could not. I opened the config utility to re-enable live preview and when I tried to close it I got a message to the effect that the program was recording and that if I continued I would lose what was being recorded.

I changed the live TV buffer to c:\temp and was then able to view live TV on the server with live preview disabled, however, I still could not get an image on the client.

SUCCESS! The problem is that the recording service EXE must be added to Windows Firewall as an exception on the server. Viewing live TV now works over both my 100 megabit network and my wireless 802.11g network.
