HVR-1300 BDA demux to TIF problem

[Ed__]

I did post on the forums but I think they're all on holiday and my impatience got the better of me so I reinstalled Vista. Needless to say, gb-pvr is up and the tuner is running fine (sorry for suggesting it was gbpvr that broke things in the first place!)

However I'm having a little bit of trouble getting it to run over the the network. I've set everything up as per the wiki and I'm able to view the tv guide from my laptop, so I think it's able to access the directory. But, when I try and watch anything the program stops responding and I have to cancel the process. I've tried it both over the wireless, and by plugging the laptop directly into the main pc, with the same results each time.

It looks like either a firewall is getting in the way, or you got the server name set wrong.

Ahh, forgot to turn off the Windows firewall on the main comp. Unfortunately now it's telling me there are no tuners available to watch the selected channel. I'm positive I've got the server name right, because I've tried putting the wrong name in deliberately and I get a "host not found" error in the log or something similar, and as you can see there's nothing like that in the current log:

Just been having a look around on the forums about this network thing and I'm a bit confused about what happens when you watch live tv. If you've set it up to not record, then does everything happen on-the-fly without anything being saved on the harddrive? Or is the data stream from the tuner temporarily saved in a file and then decoded from that? Is it different when watching from the client pc?

When you're client mode, then live tv is always in timeshift mode, which means it always records.

Ok so just in case anyone else reads this thread, I've fixed the previous set of problems by changing the mux on both machines to the cyberlink one (specifically not the dvr-ms one) and making sure the livetv/recordings folders were shared. The bit about muxs isn't in the wiki, I was going to add it myself but was foiled by the login screen.

Anyway, when I choose a channel from the tv guide the recording service starts on both computers, and a file appears in the livetv shared folder. However, gbpvr then crashes out before it plays anything. The file created by the the recording service on the main pc plays fine in vlc on the client pc though, so it seems that gpvr is crashing when it tries to access it. I've attached the logs from both pcs.

By the way, thank you so much sub for continuing to help, I promise I'll leave you in peace soon!

Try running ReRegisterFilters.bat on the client.

Sub mate you are a legend! Everything is working great now, thank you so much for your help. I've sent a small thankyou (would be more but I'm just a poor student I'm afraid) your way so I hope that's some recompense for the time you've spent on reading all those logs!
