On the newest version of JRiver 18 - 18.0.112 on Server & Clients
1. playing now... is it possible in standard view after chosing a channel to watch. to see what is playing along with the channel letters...example when i click inside playing now video window, then hit the down arrow it says Kare-HD - Jeopardy. is it possible to have what is playing on that channel in the playing now list (auto updates as new shows start) and also in the top bar of standard view. right now it just shows Kare-HD in bar as well.
2. how do we set recording on clients? we are in theaterview/Display view. but cannot seem to find a record option...on clients in theaterview / display view if i hit the down arrow, it doesnt show like on server what is playing (Kare-HD-Jeopardy), resolution, recording, signal... is this normal? not implemented yet?
3. does jriver timeshift continue to record the current channel after someone has hit stop? is it possible to tell jriver to continually record a channel/channels (however many tuners you have) for the amount of time timeshift is set at in settings? meaning if i sit down on any machine (like a satellite box) i would be able to shift back 4hours for that channel that was on? or if we want to watch a movie, can we go back to tvguide and time shift backwards four hours?
4. i just noticed today, and was under the impression if i got the hauppauge card and threw it on the server that all clients would be able to watch tv... im on workstation now and have kare-hd paused, then went to htpc and played the same channel, then went to laptop and im getting a warning that there are no tuners available.... is there anyway to have remaining clients (past the amount of tuners you have) be able to still watch TV but only be able to chose 1 of the 2 tuners available?.. basically i'd like to be able to stream news to all jriver machines from same channel if possible? similiar to how satellite boxes work once you have used up your tuners.
5. audio/video are out of sync when watching tv (2 devices at the same time) videos, music, play fluidly.. could this be An OTA issue? no satellite or cable to test with at the moment.
Antenna i purchased -
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0063705PE/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i006. .JTV / .TS is there anyway to record in a different format? h264 . mp4 etc... so that the recorded file is playable anywhere with any device?
7. Recording.. tonight i was on the server, and had been watching kare-hd (news) well i had been watching it for about an hour. and some thing popped up on the news i wanted to save to show my son. so i clicked on record. it said recording. then after that news discussion was complete. i hit cancel recording (this was confussing to me. cancel i was worried it would cancel and delete.. but it didnt it saved it.. maybe stop recording would be less confusing for us noobs?) then i went to my time shift drive, and played the file. it was only 54 seconds long? but yet i had the channel on kare-hd for the last hour... any ideas what i may have done wrong? is it possible to move the progress slider to the exact location where you want to start recording from? this would be stellar!
8. does timeshifting work with clients? GF has been watching a different channel for the last 3 hours (KMSP) and in my time shifting drive (located on the server) there is no KMSP channel folder? then i changed channels, and went to time shift drive on server and nothing showed. i also tested thsi with other clients in the home. maybe a networking issue on my end? shares seem to be working though via explorer.
Thanks for clarifications
