Here's the reply I sent to Stephen direct, copied here in case it can help anyone else: This is exactly how I run it (even down to the locations), 1 caveat I have 2 cards. With 1 card you may run into issues with the recordserver change the channel on you or you changing the channel whilst recording! That said, all you need to do is change set the VideoGroup on the machine in the lounge to something like this: TV_VIDEO_GROUPS = [ VideoGroup(vdev='recordserver:1', desc='TV', group_type="dvb", ), ] where vdev='recordserver:1' breaks down to recordserver=>the server in the loft, 1=> the number of the DVB adapter to use. Finally you need to make sure that you have the dvbstreamer instances started! Couple of additional things, first you might want to enable AVS Only in dvbstreamer. This means that only Audio, Video and Subtitles are streamed not the interactive content. (use a startup file and add the single line "setavsonly <Primary> on" to it.) Second, not massively tested (ie the wife hasn't tried to break it) is the livepauseserver which can sit on the record server and use the disk in the loft for buffering, meaning you could have the lounge machine diskless. Hope this is helpful. Cheers Adam ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
