any issue runing pch stuff on gbpvr server?

[Andrewh]

I see stuff on how to use gbpvr for pch, but I was wondering will I have any problems if I just use the myihome from pch on my gbpvr server?

No, although unless you wanted to play RMVB, I can't imagine of all the http streamers why you would choose myihome.

Haven't decided yet. Just seemed complicated to add the gbpvr stuff right now.
Thought it might be easier with the myihome server at least.

Okay, but please ignore every post on this forum except the dummies guide thread NMTInstall does pretty much all the hard stuff for you.

I can totally agree with this statement having installed my new nmt for the first time yesterday. The only thing that may be missing out of the dummies guide is & Martin can correct me if I'm wrong, having a fixed ip address for your server prior to doing the nmt install.

Jaggy you are correct. The Network Browser launch and CSI hard disk install don't need a fixed IP but it is recommended for NMT server based installs.

Thanks.
Turns out I didn't need to install anything. It let me browse the network, so I mapped to the drives with the saved stuff on it.

When I have more time I will look at the dummies guide.

I did that also when I first fired up my nmt & it worked fine.....but.....I would also say the difference between using it like that & setting it up properly to run gb-pvr in pch2 mode is like night & day & well worth finding the time to do!

Playing from a share is important, especially if you want to play DVD's. Playing DVD's through the GBPVR interface is possible but that is one area that does take a bit of technical expertise to update scripts, so for many it is probably just as simple to use the standard player via a share. They cant be played with myihome either.

Playing files from a Share is about 20% less efficient then http so for the highest bit-rate files, GBPVR or myihome will be more better. For HD broadcasts that isn't going to be an issue.

Thanks, I will keep that in mind. Only doing analog tv for now anyway.
