Popcorn Hour A-100

[Lasoul]

Samething happening here. I thought I got it somewhat working last week. Watched a movie with some minor glitches. But now I can't start Live TV anymore. Tried restarting the PH and GBPVR but haven't got it to work again. This is very strange because I don't do anything differently than last week.

I now know why it did not start the Live TV, but I find it very strange. I have an upcoming recording in 3 hours which is blocking the Live TV. The strangest thing is that I am activating the Live TV from the TV guide, so it should start the Live TV for the programm I selected (I thought).
How much free time does GBPVR need for Live TV? (Time between start Live TV and scheduled recording).

It's still working for me.

Sorry, there is a known is a known problem. Because of some tricks I had to do to get the PH to play live tv, it actually schedules a recording for 5 hours, then cancels it when live tv stops. Unfortunately I didnt think to check how long was available for until the next recording, so a recording in 3 hours would cause problems. I'll fix it for the next update.

Can you watch LiveTV on your pc? I know mine has been having troubles lately, i.e. It plays for a second then stops. Perhaps one of the MS updates broke something.

Yeah, its still working here.

Thanks Sub.....
Do you know when there will be an update, because my wife uses the Live TV function a lot. And likes the PH/GBPVR combo for watching some of the digital channels which are not available on all our TV's.
Keep up the good work!

Hi Lasoul,

I'm curious: I see you're living in the Netherlands. Who is your TV-provider? How do you watch digital channels in GBPVR?

Thanks,
Chris

Chris,

My TV provider is TVHome (Essent/@Home) and I am using the combo ProgDVB/DVBSBridge/GBPVR/PopcornHour for watching digital channels. I have got an DVB-C tuner from Terratec 1200 C.

Thanks, Lasoul. I'm going to give this a try. I'll stop messing up this thread now, since it should be about the PCH.

Sub,

I still can't get video files to play using the LinkTheater. The problem is the link that is set and loaded when you hit "ENTER" when you have a "PLAY" button selected in the GBPVR interface. The "play" link, <A HREF="<% GetPlayFile(); %>" name="startplayback" <% GetDemandType(); %> ONFOCUSLOAD>.</A>, that loads as, <A HREF="/stream?f=C:\Shows\TV\24_20002100_20080112.mpg" name="startplayback" vod ONFOCUSLOAD>.</A> doesn't work.

What would work is a link to the file similar to the following:

<A HREF="http://192.168.1.100:PORT/Recordings/TV/24_20002100_20080112.mpg" name="startplayback" vod ONFOCUSLOAD>.</A>

Where "Recordings" is a virtual directory defined in the web server. Can the PCHServer provide the PORT and the virtual directory?
