Hi Sub,

Following on from a thread on the support board, and after finding out that PVRX2 needs a little too much wireless bandwidth for streaming SD programs even, depending on your set-up, would it be possible to integrate VLC player into the client streaming viewing side of things ?

If there's a program I want to watch on a wireless client laptop, rather than getting a choppy signal on my laptop, I just set the program to record on PVRX2 and then come out of it and use VLC player to goto my shared recordings folder and watch the program with VLC player, without any chopping signals at all.

Could you include a switch in the misc settings page so that VLC player would be used to watch any streaming programs, and maybe you could set VLC player to open full-screen if required ?

That way I don't think the user would notice any difference at all in the process of using PVRX2, apart from the tons better wireless network performance.

Unsure what you can do with VLC player from a switch point of view when incorporating it into things like this, but I guess this is bread and butter to you in develpment ?

I've tried using the EWA side of GBPVR, and whilst it's great, it's a little more fiddly than my work-flow above, and not as intuitive as just using PVRX2 itself.

Cheers,

Highlander

Sorry, its unlikely I'd do this. I dont want to use external players. I'd rather do things inside the application using directshow.

I do intend to improve the GB-PVR client's utilization of the network, but it'll have to wait until I have more time available. I'm stretched pretty thin these days.
