Happy Anniversary to me!

[ydekmekji]

Today marks my two year anniversary married to GB-PVR. It's been a for the most part good journey. A few times, we got the bugs, but with Dr. Sub and the rest of the on call physicians, we got healing. I do have to confess that on two occasions I cheated on GB, but I quickly saw the folly of my ways. I am not proud of those moments...

At times, my wife has found herself jealous of my relationship, but when she has the remote in her hand and scrolling through the menus, she quickly forgives me.

More than two years ago I was lonely. Today I have a hobby, a friend, a relationship. Happy Anniversary to me!

I'm so happy for you

You have a good imagination....ever thought of writing a romance novel?

I just did a check when I did my first post and its coming upto 3 years in a few months. since that humble beginning I have filled up 800GB of hard drive at least 10 times over.

Well my experience is pritty much identical. The only problem I have with GB is that I am every time tempted to upgrade immediately when a new release is out....one two occasions there were -though minor- bugs.....the WAF gets a small push down then.

However when I then show her how nicely these new features work she's all happy again and finally the WAF goes up. Thx SUB and all the others.


Maybe even more showing how good GBPVR is is how easily some of my neighbours adopted the program (instead of buying a dedicated harddrive recorder). This leaves only one whish to make a serverpark as we have a wireless neighbourhood network. The client side is done by simply adding the shared drives to the video drives list, however it would be great if we could share tuners and thus avoid recording conflicts more often.

I must be a non-typical user
After installing v0.95.16, more then one year ago, I did not do any upgrades. We use PriorityRecording and the EWA for recording scheduling and playback through UPnP.
I sometimes consider upgrading but I am too afraid things will brake and a recording will go wrong. We have come used to GBPVR never letting us down.
Any advice on the stability of the current release? We never reboot the server.

wow... i'd like to reach a similar stable system. unfortunately, i'm still a little bit away from that. then again, maybe stopping to mess/tweak/tune would help to add stability
do you really never reboot on a regular basis (like at least once a month)?

This current one has been fantastic! In my (humble) opinion, it's been the most stable release for me. It hasn't missed a recording nor crashed on me.

Regarding Koen's, why stay in your neighborhood??? What if we could create a global neighborhood of GBPVR users who make their recordings available to one another--i know there are stuff like Bittorrent, but what if there is a plugin that could access one another's recordings streamed through an online server or something... If we could make it so that it can't be saved, to avoid copyright issues, but maybe even sharing might be copyright violation

No, when we go on holliday I reboot, just to be sure. But it is not realy needed.
However I do run a rather clean system (see below for what is running). Out of the box windows install, no tweaks.
And no monitor or keyboard attached to it. I indeed think it is the people that make systems unstable.
And NEVER download and try all those nice little programs that are advertised everywhere.
