Yes and this is exactly what I do. I have a PC in the loft, closest to
the
aerial, which has 2 DVB cards in 1 for recording 1 for viewing and then
run the recordserver on this recording to a local disk. The frontend
downstairs then streams TV from the PC in the loft and plays recording
from a NFS share also from the PC in the loft. Works a treat and means I
can turn off/upgrade the downstairs PC with out chance of pain being
inflicted on me by my wife/kids for recordings being missed :-)
Thats pretty much the setup i was going for
I have setup Freevo recordserver on computer 1 and pointed the
recordserver variable in local_config on computer 2 at computer 1
i am now getting the following error

Looks like dvbstreamer is no longer running, or your VideoGroup in
local_conf.py is now pointer at the wrong computer.

oops! it wasnt running, all fixed now
just 2 more questins if thats ok
1. I have only got 1 dvb card at them moment.
In your setup how have you configured the freevo directories so that computer 1
running the main process can see the recording lock file on computer 2 so you
cant watch tv while recording?
2. On the note of having a remote computer to handle the recordserver,
encoding server etc. What settings do you need to put in the local_config to
setup a remote encoding server
I have put ENCODINGSERVER_IP = computer2 in the local_config and started the
encoding server on computer2 but whenever i attempt to reencode anything I get
the message that the encoding server is not running.
Thanks again

I've not had to deal with this as I'm using 2 card, but I think if you shared your ~/.freevo directory this would probably solve the problem and also mean you didn't need to try and keep you local_conf.py in sync on both PCs as it would be the same file. 2.

[Freevo-users] TV not working via Watch TV - ok via mplayer
Hi everybody, I'm new to Freevo (but I've been using another well known Linux based PVR for a few years now but my wife has had enough of an unstable system so I'm trying Freevo instead). The installation went fine with DVB-T and the RT XMLTV grabber. If I try Watch TV - TV Guide - CHANNEL the screen goes black for a second and then back to the program guide again. BUT, at a shell prompt, if I copy paste the mplayer command that the Freevo log [/var/log/freevo/main-1000.log] shows the TV station plays fine for me. I don't see any other interesting debug log output. Does anyone know why this would/could be happening? thanks very much Derek -- Derek C In Ireland -- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.

Re: [Freevo-users] TV not working via Watch TV - ok via mplayer
Please ignore my message! I had some double quote characters in the MPLAYER arguments (because I have multiple DVB-T/DVB-S cards and I needed to add an argument to specify the card # and I put double quotes around the dvbin card argument). It didn't look wrong in the debug output but it obviously messed up the mplayer command. Working now!!!
