If you want to read about the setup, hardware, and client benchmark:
http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=101763.msg709453#msg709453I have 4 bedroom Tv's that will need a Client. Currently testing with a high power server on Gigabit network with network tuners (SD + Ceton, USA Comcast). The server machine works perfectly fine, but can't get these bugs out of the client:
1. When I go to play a tv show file or live tv, more than 50% of the time the audio will just be completely garbled and choppy while the video plays fine. Sometimes if I skip back/forward on the remote it will clear, other times it won't, no matter how many times I try skipping back or forward. Sometimes if I hit stop then play again, the audio will be correct. I have tried all different settings under audio and video but can't nail it down. Does anyone else have this issue? Is there a permanent fix? Is it related to hdmi and bitstreaming? or?
2. Live Tv works, but setting up a recording on the client does NOTHING at all. I can see it in the list of "to be recorded" on the Client but it NEVER starts recording. The recording time comes and passes, and the item is still in the "to be recorded" list on the Client, as if the time or date is wrong but it's not. Also it does not show up in the "to be recorded" list on the Server. At first I thought it might be due to not running tv guide setup on the Client, but I've now done that and it made no difference. Recordings work on the Server but have not checked whether they show up on the Client's TBR list (just looked, they do not). Do other people setup recordings on the Client and they work? What's the secret?
EDIT: SOLVED
