I have GBPVR (09516) running with a Plextor PX-M402U and I cannot change channels in Timeshift mode. Channel changing works fine in Preview and I can select a channel once from the guide. When I try to change channels while viewing in Timeshift Mode, the channel does change on the cable box but the video jumps back to the point where Timeshift Mode was initiated. If I don't try to change channels I can watch the first channel I select from the Guide for a while but then get kicked back to the main menu.
My troubleshooting points to a problem when GBPVR changes buffer files. Upon channel change a new buffer file is created and begins to grow but the client continues to play the old buffer file from the beginning. When the end of that buffer file is reached, I get kicked back to the menu. It also looks like the graph file continues to point to the old buffer file.
I have tried using several decoders and have installed the Intervideo DVD Creator to get the correct Mux. I have disabled pretty much all unnecessary services on the HTPC such as anti-virus, firewall, etc. I have opened security all the way on the directories used by GBPVR.
As a side note, I have also configured another PC as a client and I get exactly the same behaviour as stand alone.
GBPVR does look like a great program and any help getting past this problem would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
