I have a gigabit LAN, so bandwidth is of little concern.
Is there a was to stream video in its native format (ts, dvr-ms etc), to be decoded at the client side with for instance the Dscaler5 or Nvidia purevideo decoders?

The VLC tool is great, but transcoding gives poor quality regardless of settings, and I get bad deinterlacing compared to Nvidia purevideo standards for sure.

Or is it possible to configure VLC to do this?

Instead of clicking on stream click on download button.....then instead of saving the file open it with a player on your client....this simply will stream the native file and all decoding will occur on the client.

On what basis does EWA decide a recording Fails to Schedule? I ask as I get the error, but there are no conflicts at that time. Can I surmise it doesn't like quotes perhaps? If so I will need to get my Grabber to strip out ALL quotes in future.

Can anyone help me get EWA to be accessible via IIS. I have read the numerous posts on the subject but I can still not get it working.

Current set-up. IIS 6.0, GBPVR 97.13, using SQL lite

Within IIS tv.PublicDomainName port 80 is mapped to C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\web (I run multiple web sites with different names on the server) - currently with full access and permissions

This is the error I receive when page accessed locally from the server URL http://tv.PublicDomainName/guide.aspx

NB I have tried disabling and enabling EWA on port 7467 via GBPVR config but this has no effect.

Many thanks,

Well, both IE and Firefox saves a local copy before starting the selected application. So I end up with waiting for a 1.2 GB download before the application starts.

Am I doing something wrong?

Would it not be possible to let VLC stream the data unchanged as an "original quality" setup? In that case it should be possible to play it in any application that could play the original file on the server. For instance my favourite zoom player.

I.e let VLC transcode to serve lower bandwidth scenarios, and stream the original data for true 1:1 quality playback on the client in high bandwidth scenarios.

Hmmm.....the configuration settings for VLC are not hidden in any way.....when you reinstalled VLC did you also reinstall the EWA 43.1? I am thinking perhaps that the friendly gbpvr auto-restore kicked in at some time and overlaid EWA files with an older version.....

Let me know.

It is possible I somehow confused versions. I did install 43.1 at some point, but it is possible I did not go into the config tab before I also reinstalled VLC. I simply do not remember, I tried so many things...

But as my memory serves me I did not get those streaming options in config tab until I had VLC reinstalled. However, where those options not available in the version of EWA in the latest GBPVR. Version 40 I think it was? If that was so then it may very well be that the options got there at the same time EWA 43.1 was installed - but I did not see it.

I only installed 43.1 once, and I don't think auto-restore has interfered.

Are you using MS Access as your DB or SQLite? If Access this type of problem is fairly common......I have nto see this occur except one rare occasion using SQLite.

Let me know.

Correct...the current version of GBPVR is shipping with build 40. Streaming was added with build 41. Current build is build 43.1.

Ypu need to set your download options in IE and Firefox to ask rather than default to download.....it should be in the config options for both....then when the download starts you will be prompted to open or save the incomming file.

I had already the ask option as default in both. The file is saved in a temp directory prior to opening, even if I ask for it to be opened in an application directly. This is a behaviour that changed a good while back if I remember correctly. Previously at least IE did not cache the file but opened it directly. ...as I remember. I could be wrong...

I am using the SQLite DB for GBPVR....
