NEW Client mode introduced in OpenViX build 5.0.013

[white_westie]

I have a tm nano single tuner box with client running from my solo2 with motorised and 28.2 and can view either tuner.

That makes sense. Both boxes have same tuner type dvb-s.
Just looking for confirmation that dvb-t tuners on server boxes will be usable from client box which only has dvb-s tuner

How will your box know if its using a dvb/c or dvb/s or dvb/t tuner as it should not matter with a list, i could see cable on a sat box so dvb/t should be no different.

 

[white_westie]

So basically when a box is configured in Client Mode, it sees no local physical tuners at all, and just see the host based tuners available for use.
That's grand, was hoping that' s the way it worked.

Thks for help cactikid

I can choose what to look at via my bouquets which can make it handier.

Hey All

Client mode is amazing and simple to setup, thank you. Is there anyway to increase buffer size to stop drop out/in's? I have a wired setup and gets some occasional audio drop outs specially when switching to a channel so wanted to know if there are some tweaks that can be applied?

 

[cactikid]

I also get that buffer when changing channel and also wired connections like its trying to catch up+ the odd freeze when my switch stops blinking.

I've been using 2 VU+ zero's as clients to my Duo² with twin sat and twin cable tuners for quite a while. Where everything runs fine bouquets and viewing recordings on clients, my only problem is recording on client box.
I did set up remote timers but some failed?? . I have seen lots of posts about this but no answers. I've tried allsorts.
Is there a way of recording on client box (it says recording when button pressed but end up with no recording)

 

[cactikid]

Destination of where to record maybe?

 

[v8rick]

Ahhhh of course

 

[v8rick]

NO tried different destinations. surely someone knows a yes or no, on recording in client mode

11) what image are you running?
2) where are you recording to and is it defined as HDD

Just pressed record and it works fine for me. (ET7500 running in client mode)

 

[cactikid]

Tried that on my tm nano which has no hdd or usb and could not record elsewhere.I do remember hearing of setting up external points to record to.
@twol i presume you have a hdd on box to record to?

 

[v8rick]

i have 2 zero's running latest vix my server box is a Duo² also running latest vix. One zero has 32g sandisk stick mounted as hdd and the other has powered external hdd, recording to media/hdd/movie/. when i hit record button it goes through the motions but when
you go to recordings the file is zero. (post 135 on this thread the same).
Everything is hard wired to Asus RT-AC5300 router .I have also tried using my Solo² as as sever its the same.
When I have been testing the recording nobody has been using other box so I dont think its tuner issue
I have put one box back to use channel stream converter to get channels from Duo² and a coax to 28.2 for freesat it records fine from sat.I've had Duo² since they were released and when zero's came out i've used them on Remote channel, then client mode when that was released,I've Just started trying to record again as I'm looking at the Duo 4k

I had a few 0 timer recordings even on sat tuners,is the hdd in use an externally powered one and presume mounted correctly.When setting timers recheck start/stop times in case its wrong.Was the main box in use stopping the slave from working and getting no free tuner and if so would 0 with no data be correct?

Hi most of your questions are answered in my post. Timer settings just press record button and agree with pop up "add record(stop after current event)" and timer recordings off epg give same result

@v8rick - turn on debug logs and post here....
Also (because I have never bought a Vu+), I have no idea if you need the Pau plugin or not for the OE-A images (you do for OpenPli) as the Vu+ Zero is sold as a zapper (not for recording) ...

 

[v8rick]

Thanks for your time, I think I remember reading about Pau being in already but I'll check again Thanks again

 

[v8rick]

I think your correct. I put my solo² into client mode it records fine I don't know why i never thought of trying it before.
I wish i had tried this when i only had one Zero,Now you can pick solo² for the same money.
At least i've found out by mistake that Zero will record off extreme plugin.

There again if i could predict the future i wouldn't have my humax 5400. topfield 5500,Technomate, Spider and other door stops like most peeps in this hobby LOL

If I have IPTV set up on my Server box via Xstream, is there any way I can watch the supplied channels on my Client receiver?

Thanks for any help.
