daveyboyc Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Hi all, Is it possible to use 2 servers (i.e 2 htpc's) in the recording service to be controlled from 1 client/PC? Thanks in advance. Link to comment
Gioxy Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Is it possible to use 2 servers (i.e 2 htpc's) in the recording service to be controlled from 1 client/PC? What exactly do you mean with "to be controlled"? Quickly: 2 server each with his own RecService, and 1 client to see TV from both = yes 2 server each with his own RecService, and 1 client to program recordings = no (use relative RS WebInterfaces...)

daveyboyc Posted November 26, 2010 Author Share Posted November 26, 2010 so theres no way to have the tuners from both systems registed in one rec service web interface? - you have to use 2 different ips? Link to comment
Gioxy Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 so theres no way to have the tuners from both systems registed in one rec service web interface?No. You can have 2 different RS sources in 1 DVBViewer Client and rec locally with it from the two; you can also send rec timers to one of them and have it make rec alone (ie whitout DVBV running...)you have to use 2 different ips?Of course... if you have 2 DVBV RS Servers you obviously need to distinguish between them, so you are obliged to assign them 2 different IPs and configure them as 2 different "Unicast Network Device" in a unique DVBViewer client... BTW: assuming you have 3 PC, 2 DVBV RS Server and 1 client, you can see all devices spread in the 2 servers in all 3 PCs... the trick is the same mentioned above... Link to comment
daveyboyc Posted November 27, 2010 Author Share Posted November 27, 2010 So you could schedule recordings from both RS's with one client? Is it possible to do that over the internet from a different location? Its of less use to me over a LAN.. Link to comment
desweil Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 you could Schedule recordings from both RS's via the two Webinterfaces. You can also Schedule recordings from ONE RS from a DVBViewer Client (only one RS can be set up for sending Schedules to) Link to comment
daveyboyc Posted November 27, 2010 Author Share Posted November 27, 2010 So, scheduling recordings from the RS client is the same as just using the 2 webinterfaces separately?(as i can only use 1 server at a time) Whats the point of the RS client anyhow, is it needed for streaming? Link to comment
desweil Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 huh? There is no "RS Client". There is the Software "DVBViewer". It needs a TV-Card to show TV. If there is no TV Card in the local PC, then it can use a Unicast Network Device to access a TV Card on another PC, if there is a RS running. The RS can by itself record shows when you schedule them via the Webinterface. You don't need a DVBViewer for that. In Case you want to schedule Recordings via the DVVBviewer (OSD or EPG Windows) and let them be recorded by the RS PC, then you need a connection to ONE(!) RS PC. You can NOT send the schedules from ONE DVBViewer to TWO RS PCs. Link to comment
Gioxy Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 @daveyboyc To know what are the RS reasons why, please read DVBViewer Recording Service Wiki Link to comment
daveyboyc Posted December 5, 2010 Author Share Posted December 5, 2010 so, to conlude, if you had 2pc's - 1 with 5 tuners and the other with 5, you cant have 1 webinterface that says 10 tuners in the RS? you need to use 2 separate web interfaces Link to comment
desweil Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 one RS per PC (that has a tuner card). Every RS has its own webinterface and does not communicate in any way with other RS's. Link to comment
