No. I can't think of anything, except when you are viewing the files on the MVP, the MVP session is holding ZProcess open. According to the records, GB-PVR is killing the instance of ZProcess, which in turn kills Hunter and the Transcode process...
So for some reason ZProcess is forced closed because GB-PVR isn't happy about something. And as I said, most of the time, it's because there's not enough file being created.
Try this. Start a manual transcode, restore the transcode window so you can watch it grind. With FFmpeg watch the the time=xxxx. Is it much faster than a full second for every real second...? Next start the same video inside MVP then on the server, restore the transcode window and look at the time again. You should have as fast a transcode...
Or you could try it with MEncoder... It gives the current fps at the bottom. You can really see if it's able to crank at the same speed while being called with or without GB-PVR...
