I have just upgraded to latest version after running for over 14 months without a single issue - suffered from the "if it isnt broken" effect... I was doing some machine maintenance and upgraded to new version.
The new version is excellent and I like a lot of the new features. One I spotted was the "Stream Now" in program info. Excellent! I use a mac for main workstation and this works fine using VLC for the asx file from firefox. My query is the quality ... the stream is quite low bitrate. VLC reports an input bitrate of 340kbps and a stream bitrate of around 200kpbs. Playback works fine ... even stops when the program ends on EPG. It is a bit blocky though and as I have 1gbps LAN I was looking to increase the rate.
However I cannot find anywhere to do this! I have looked around the config, config files and searched forums but cannot see how to change it. Can this be done and could anyone point me in the general direction?
Thanks in advance and thanks for a brilliant system! Now using GBPVR for over 2 years and it just gets better and better!
