Ok, I am going to try to provide as much info on this problem as I can.
I have 2 computers, both running xp pro, both have a pvr-usb2 plugged into them (although only 1 is setup to work with gbpvr, the other just acts as an ir receiver for the remote).
One of the computers is setup with pvr-usb2 hooked up to my dvr sat. dish and it acts as a server for my other computer that is setup as a client (in the capture devices tab of the config file). The server computer is plugged directly into the router and the client is running on wireless but has full service (it is only about 15 feet from the router).
So, everything works great when I open gbpvr (PVRX2). The program (on the client computer) opens with no problems and I am able to start-up live TV (without any major issues....there is a small one...but more on that later **).
Everything is fine until I close live tv (either by pushing stop or by closing the program). About 1 second after I stop the live tv the entire computer locks up. Everything freezes and the only thing I can do is restart the computer. If I open the live tv on the computer that is "serving" the tv (i.e. the one that pvr-usb2 is setup on) I have no problems.
This issue started occurring awhile ago (version 1.0.8 or something like that), but I haven't taken the time to post it till now since I don't use this method of watching tv very often.
I have tried changing the various video renderers and decoders and the issue still persists. I have also installed the newest version of gbpvr and .net framework and neither fixed the problem. Also, I have tried both streaming and file sharing options on the client computer, and the computer crashes under both options
I am tired of restarting my computer everytime I stop watching live tv on the gbpvr. Someone please help!
**going back to the small issue, the other issue with the live tv on the client computer is that it has a huge delay. I use my satelite remote while watching on the client computer and from button push until the result appears on the screen is about 8 seconds! I am not sure is there is any fix for this as this could just be a limitation of streaming, but be aware the this issue exists regardless of if the client computer is wired to the router or wireless. Also, If this issue has to do with timeshifting, I would like to know how to turn that off since I really don't care about timeshifting for my purposes.
