One quick question about NMT + GB-PVR

[NeglectedGoldfish]

Hi,

I purchased a Popcorn Hour A-110 last week and was a bit disappointed with the interface and lack of basic functionality. I've had a look at GB-PVR and it looks great, and if I can get it to work, it will be exactly what I am looking for.

My question is this:

My media collection is stored on the HDD that is in my A-110. If I view media through GB-PVR, will it play directly from the HDD or will it stream via my PC where GB-PVE is installed? If the latter, then will there be a significant delay when watching divx movies and the like?

My current setup is as follows:

500gb HDD installed in the A-110
A-110 wired to my Netgear wireless router
PC connected wirelessly to router
PC maps drive m:\ to share on A-110 HDD

Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards,

Fish

mvpmcx2 is designed to automatically play files directly from the PCH if you configure GB-PVR to use the IP address notation \\xx.xx.xx.xx rather than mapping to M:

Excellent, thanks a lot for answering my question!

So under the directories tab in GB-PVR Configuration, I set the music, video and photo libraries to \\192.168.0.4\share\videos etc etc?

Thanks again,

Fish

I am lazy and edit this in config.xml but if you can browse them that looks correct. I don't have a disk installed to test.

Just a quick update to your quick question, audio files won't be streamed locally because the files are played using a playlist which calls the web server.

As an update the new "Director's Cut" version will play audio locally too.
