Net Radio not playing on PVRX2, but does on GBPVR

You can set the directories to whatever you want on the 'Directories' tab of the config app.

that's odd.

pvrx2 creates the file in my recordings folder

I don't have a c:\temp and my %TEMP% is set to r:\temp.

I see. I don't use the TV part of GBPVR so I glossed over that part, and I didn't realize that the user listening to net radio means GBPVR records it to a file in the recordings folder.

Is there a way I can listen to the radio without having the program record it to a file? I don't want to have to manually delete the files every once in a while.

No there isnt. I should point out that the files will cycle around between three filenames though, so you wont end up with endless temp files on your hard drive.

Thanks! I'm liking GBPVR a lot better than MediaPortal.

After reading through all this info I was finally clued enough to realize a dumb mistake I'd made. Specifically, as I don't use the GBPVR for recording TV I didn't realize the importance of the "Recording Directories" and "Live TV Buffer Directory" on the directories tab. I changed them both to a directory that actually existed as I had deleted the "vid_temp" folder that I initially configured GBPVR ages ago (duh). So, this post is to clarify that it does not have to be "C:\temp" but rather whatever folder is used for "recording directories" must exist.

Thanks for all the great questions on this topic and special thanks to Sub for simply taking the time to answer so many "newbie" questions. I'm fairly new to GBPVR and it is a really great package... with great support!
