Adam
Yes this happens everytime
I have changed some of the channel names to their DVB ids and it still happens
The two computers do not have access to the same directory so i will set this
up and give it a go as i thought that dvbstreamer would stream the data to the
recordserver and then it was saved.
On that note, if i was to install and run the recordserver on computer 1 and
provide an appropriote record_dir path then it should just work right? (sorry
for the stupid question, just wanted to check)
cheers
Matt
