Hi,
I'm new to GB-PVR so please bear with me if I'm missing something obvious here. I recently attempted to configure a server / PC client setup by following Sub's instructions towards the beginning of this thread:
Streaming to other networked PCs
I know this setup isn't officially supported, but I figured I'd throw this post out there anyway to see if anyone can help. After changing the <RecordingServiceLocation> and <DatabaseConnectionString> lines in config.xml, and the basic functionality seems fine. I can access the TV listings, schedule and cancel recordings, etc. I can watch recorded shows and they play very smoothly. Live TV, however, is a different story. After 5 seconds or so waiting for timeshift mode to initialize, live TV begins to play but it stutters very badly.
CPU usage is steady at 30%-40%, and the network utilization is showing about 6%-8% (I'm on a 100Mbps LAN). Both seem well within limits. Also, Live Preview" mode is disabled on the client.
I don't understand why recorded shows play smoothly while Live TV stutters so badly. Isn't GB-PVR's video player doing the same exact thing in both cases?
I think this would be a great setup if I can fix the stutter. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.
