Dman_LFC stated that TSWriter isnt 64bit compatible currently. So it won't work; I recently switched back from Vista64 to XP to get TVServer on my Dev-PC going.

 

[deekarma]

Yeah, I really struggled with it. I've just read around these forums some folk who have achieved that golden goal.
Perhaps I need to drop some pms.

Better ask in these threads for help. PM's arent too welcome for support demands for many user...

Hi,
deekarma what is the problem, you don't describe so i i don't know where it stops for you.
I'm running vista x64 & have tested tvserver which did run just fine here(@ the moment i don't have any tvcards to attach to laptop so can't test now)...

Regards
Roy

TvServer doesn't work in Vista64.
As soon as you try to view a channel the entire machine crashes and you have to reboot.

Difinately a driver bug if the TVE3 crashes whole PC. I wouldn't ever try to use 64bit OS as a media platform client nor server as the driver support is still many steps behind the 32bit. Also there aren't any single benefit running TVE3 in 64bit OS (or most of the other programs). It's just like asking a bleeding nose in a weekend after you are returning from the bar

Please, do yourself a favour and install 32bit OS.

Tried only for two days.
Switched back to xp32.
Thank you,
