PC client Error: Failure playing back file

[StupaFly]

Just installed the latest version to find client functionality...That is soooo cool. Anyway, the Live TV portion doesn't work right. I see the service (on the server) and that it tries to play, but a second later the client dies with "Failure playing back file". Do I need to set the live tv buffer directory or something?

My guess is that you dont have the client share paths set correctly in the config app.

For server I have the PC name, database share is \\pcname\gbpvr (the gbpvr directory with the database...duh).

Is the error meaningful to you at all?

Post the whole logs. That little snippet doesnt tell me anything.

How incredibly bizarre. I tried a repair (with the installer) and it miraculously works now. This is REALLY cool...good job!

I'll try a repair as well, I get a similar error - I've been trying various shares with no luck as yet. If I cut and paste the share+filename it's trying to open into explorer or something then it will open it in media player fine.
More in a moment when I try the 'repair' (and I'll clean the logs to get fresh ones to post if needed).

[martint123]

OK - wierd - doing nothing but the repair from the install script it has started working and plays previous recordings fine. I haven't experimented with live TV or anything, buy my hours of trying things out failed.

I really like this - a major step forward Sub - well done.

Same issue. Will try the repair when I am at home. Are the only settings for the client to work well in the config app from gbpvr or do we have to edit config.xml to adjust someting ? Read someting like that in another topic if i'm right.

You should be able to do everything from the config app.
