[QUOTE="cics, post: 324995, member: 63469"] This feature still work fine for RC3's latest weekly build. And for others that having problem with this feature, please check your shared file from the log and verify you can have access to the file through File Explore. Example for pigboy306, in your log you see: 2008-11-01 21:11:53.087000 [Info.][MPMain]: tvhome:file:d:\timeshiftbuffer\live2-0.ts.tsbuffer Now, cut and paste "d:\timeshiftbuffer\live2-0.ts.tsbuffer" to a File Explore and verify you've access to the file. If you don't have access to the file, then fix your shares on tve3. I won't bore you with all the technical infos on how UNC works, but here is a quick step-by-step on how to setup this feature: (there are several ways to do this, but this is like a "dummies guide to rtsp=no") TVServer setup: 1. You must have a dedicated disk partition for timeshift and records. 2. I suggest you format that partition with 64K block. 3. This step is important: You need to "Change Driver Letter" for the partition so that MP client PC can have the same driver letter when it “Map Network Driver”. 3.1 For this example, I decide to give the partition a driver letter 'T' and 3.2 (WindowsXP) Goto Control Panel -> Computer Manager -> Disk Management. 3.3 Right click your partition to bring up context menu and select “Change Driver Letter and Path for xxx”. 3.4 Now select "Change" and select driver letter T. Press OK on everything and exit Disk Management. 4. Goto your driver T and create a folder "tvserver". 5. Goto your newly created "tvserver" folder and create two new folders "timeshift" and "records". 6. Start your TVSetup/configuration and change your timeshift and records path for your tvcards so they match with T:\tvserver\timeshift and T:\tvserver\records. 7. To be sure it works; restart TV Service and manual start timeshift from TVSetup. Check your T:\tvserver\timeshift and verify timeshift files does exist… 8. We are almost done here... Next you need to share T:\tvserver and T:\tvserver\timeshift AND T:\tvserver\records. Yes, share all three folders, not just tvserver folder. I know its overkill to share subfolders like timeshift and records, but again; just do it. MP TVClient setup: 1. Goto your MP client PC and map a network driver T. Do this by: 1.1 Start your File Explore and select Tool -> Map Network Driver 1.2 Set Driver to letter T. THIS IS IMPORTANT, The driver letter must be the same as the one you set in tvserver's timeshift partition. 1.3 Set Folder as: \\tvserverName_or_IP\tvserver 1.4 (Optional) Set username or password if needed. 1.5 Select "Finish" and verify the network driver T is successfully mapped. If not, check your tvserver's name or IP. 2. Delete all MP logs 3. Open Mediaportal.xml and find <section name="tvserver"> 3.1 Add following lines in that section: <entry name="usertsp">no</entry> <entry name="recordingpath">T:</entry> <entry name="timeshiftingpath">T:</entry> 4. Save mediaportal.xml and start MP; tune in a channel. 5. Stop MP. 6. Verify everything is working without using RTSP by open Mediaportal.log and search for "tvhome:file:" it should show full path to your timeshift buffer file. And few lines below that you should get something like: tvhome:startplay:\\server\S\TS\liveXX-YY.ts.tsbuffer - using rtsp mode:False Good luck. [/QUOTE]
