client setup not working

[bob808]

I have just installed GB-PVR and have the client/server box working fine...

I have tried to get another pc working with a client setup - I have access to the \\server\gbpvr share and have ticked the act as client and filled in the server name and gbpvr path...

in the frontend on the client when I try to go to the tv guide I get a list of channels, but no program data... when I go to recorded tv I see the recordings, but if I try to play them I get a blank screen, and same with live tv...

The client just freezes and does not respond.

Have I missed something simple? Anything to help track down the problem?


Thanks

Try viewing the tv guide on that machine, then zip and attach the pvrx2.exe.log and I'll take a look.

Hmm - just tried again and the tv guide worked this time... but here is the log from where it failed to launch a tv stream from the guide...
