Client / server issues

[Dave_M]

I'm trying to get a client / server setup running smoothly. But I've hit 2 major show stopping problems.

1) Client cannot schedule a program to be recorded. Record or quick record simply does nothing. Using the web interface, programs can be recorded no problems.

2) Stuttery playback. I made a recording of a program that was smooth but then started stuttering for no reason... opening the file in media player classic showed the video to break up a little like the TV signal wasn't strong enough, but it was perfectly watchable. Playing the file in PVRX2 (using the same codecs) just stuttered constantly and was completely unwatchable. Most channels play smoothly, but BBC stutters most of the time. It must be more susceptible to interference.

I've updated both client and server with these patches from the survival guide... http://forums.gbpvr.com/showpost.php?p=3...ostcount=8 http://forums.gbpvr.com/showpost.php?p=3...ostcount=4

Whats the link between client and server ? Wired or wireless ? Maybe a factor.

1) Client cannot schedule a program to be recorded. Record or quick record simply does nothing.

Schedule a recording then zip and attach the pvrx2.exe.log from the client and I'll take a look.

Here is the log. I tried a quick record of one program, then a regular record on another program before exiting and grabbing the log file.


With the suttering playback, I'm on 100Mb LAN so no problems there. I'm sure it only stutters when the video is broken due to interference in the TV reception. So it's not exactly a fault with gbpvr, but if it could simply display the broken video as is, instead of stuttering then that would be much better. If you know of any any alternative filters etc that could do it I'd like to try them.

It looks like your share is readonly, so the app cant update the database.

hmmm I just checked it again. I have selected Allow for... full control, change and read for "everyone". But I cannot copy a file to the gbpvr folder over the network... "access is denied". :confused:

change the user name to be the same on both pcs
also make sure you have gbpvr folder as a full share
