    Default DM500s DVR setup ?

    Anyone got the DVR function working smoothly in the DM500.

    I am using CIFS with extra options of "rsize=8192,wsize=8192"

    The playback pixilates about every 15 seconds. I am looking to get flawless recording. Anyone else got it working well ?

    Same here.. I use smbfs. I also have your settings and it pixilates alot for me also. Is there some way to test the network on the dreambox so you can trouble shoot the problem?

    They don't support gamma.
    The serial port doesn't work so you can't serve with it.

    the recording works fine if you set it up correctly on a DM500


    The choice of image is the single biggest factor.

    neutrino here

    It is basic in the fact comes with one stock standard emu (mgcamd) but with a hack can add cccam but other than that it is limited to what extras can be installed.But i dont care about that all i wanted was a clean system that was easy to record and view.The mgcamd works perfectly for me in my cs as i use GW with a hummy in the mix

    You know 'hem fighting words .. not everyone runs or wants to run gamma cards which may be a big surprise to you I think

    Get the streamts fix from bitcontrol and add it( i do it manually and not use the tarball)). It fixes the bug with the built it version. I have noticed though with Gemini 4.1 there is still a little pixellation but none worth worrying about. I always used 3.6 and it was perfect with the fix. I'll have a play tonight. I keep threatening to follow Fandtm666 and try neutrino. Hey Fandtm666 can you post what version of neutrino your using again?

    @ Covert: Have you played with the rsize and wsize figures. I had the same problems until I played around with these values (in powers of 2) ie 1024, 2048, 4096, 8192 etc etc
    As I am also using Vista. If you are, firstly there are various issues with vista networking due to its self-tuning-sliding-window. To turn it off for testing:
    netsh interface tpc set global autotuning level=disabled

    change disabled to normal to re-enable it if that doesn't fix you problem. Then play with the rsize and wsize.
