Is this possible?

I have GB-PVR running on a machine on my local home network

it is currently showing a live show

can I view the show over a browser or client of sorts on another computer in my local network?

You could setup streaming with something like VideoLan, but I find it much easier to just share the folder where the recordings are and browse to it over the network. You can then just play the files with Media Player, WinDVD, or whatever Mpeg client you prefer.

If S0laris specifically means the presently running live show, that's not that easy. For one the file is still being written to, so e.g. MS-Mediaplayer won't play it. Next, if you're using SBE you're not simply getting a .mpg file, but an .sbe file of constant size. The actual mpg file seems to be written somewhere else, I haven't found out yet, where.

Yes I mean presenting the live show.

Sorry, I didn't catch that you said live show.

The VideoLan-Option might still be interesting. If you switch off 'Use SBE if available' in Configuration/Misc, GB-PVR will write the Live-Buffer into a normal mpg-file. I think it's standard-size is 1GB and can be configured to up to 4 GB (which would be arond 2 hours with GB-PVRs standard bitrate). This file can be read dynamically (also via the LAN) and also (if you choose so) be streamed by VideoLan. An alternative is record manually and handle the file being written to accordingly (you can still use SBE in GB-PVR that way).
With such a setup you'll be behind LiveTV for some time - at least as much as you require to switch on live tv and start VLC on the client, or to set up the chain 'Stream Recording File on VLC Server' > 'Open Stream on Client'. VLC will allways start the file from it's beginning, and while VLC dynamically plays a growing file, cueing doesn't seem to work.

VLC seems not to be able to dynamically handle a live buffer--which remains the same size, but changes content-- so VLC will stop once GB-PVR has filled the LiveBuffer and starts removing old video in order to add new. That's where using a manual recording instead of the live-buffer might be useful.

When switching off SBE in GB-PVR, it seems you loose all queing-capability in live-TV. You can pause, but you can't skip or fastforward.

I wonder whether GB-PVR, if installed on a computer without capture-device as sort of a client, could dynamically read a growing file and maybe even handle the sbe-Live-TV-buffer written on the server?
