Trying to switch to Npvr, encountered some issues (Win 7)

[imagn]

My main use of GBPVR has been recording QAM channels on a server and playing them back on a client PC (3 to be accurate). Everything is connected on a wired 1gbit switch

Previous setup was GBPVR on Server Win XP SP3, 2 win 7 clients and one XP client. Everything works great for recording playback using file sharing client mode.

I decided this weekend to install Win 7 on the server and move over to Npvr. So forth i went installed all requirements, Npvr and patches posted in the Npvr support thread.

I then did same on clients, and set all up as needed. All went smooth for install.

but..., I tried to playback recording and on every client it would stutter, no matter what codec i used. I would like to know if there is something i should know about Npvr and the client setup that is different from GBPVR, I feel as though file sharing method support in NPVR has been removed and may be an issue for me. I dont know why it would be stuttering, everything is up to date.

Can someone shed some light on how i should set this up or what i should look into to get stutter free video.

GBPVR is still working as it did under previous setup. Really looking forward to using NPVR

Thanks

I'v done some investigating playing videos and recordings from a PC-client. What I'v found is that if I use the Cyberlink PDVD10 video decoders and enables DXVA in the decoders settings the stutter is very minimal, so small that one can live with it :p. You can get the decoders from http://www.dvbsupport.net/, SD Pack and HD Pack (maybe also clvd pack).

Good luck.

there might be a fix in next release, Sub added ability to specify demux used..
but that may only be for .mpg files..
livetv is same on client?

That is only for .mpg files, and not the ability to specify the demux, but rather give you the choice to use Microsoft's older 'MPEG-2 Splitter' instead of their current 'MPEG-2 Demultiplexer'.

I did not get around to setting up tuners to test live TV, but i did notice that things worked better through the video library
