Hello guys,
i really need a help with my new helius mvp that i buy from ebay. When i turn on the device its just stay in the orange screen with "helius" in the middle. So if one of you guys can really help with this i will realy appreciate. I dont know nothing about mediastreaming but if you talk the technical language , i will understand.
thanks again
To boot the MVP needs access to a DHCP service to obtain an IP address and then it needs to be able to tftp a file called the dongle.bin file so your firewall needs to be open on several ports. You also have to enable the GBPVR MVP server in the config program by setting the number of servers to autostart to 1.

thanks for the quick reply. i really appreciate
1) i have the linksys WRT54G and i know it has the DHCP service, so for sure it will get an IP address.
2) the tftp part, yea i did install the last the last version of the gbpvr, and the dongle.bin file its rigth there. and also to let u know i didnt install the hauppagge software so that will not gonna cause the problem.
3) the last part you told me about the config server number, i dont get it. so if you can expand a lil bit your meaning i will appreciate
thanks again
Compress and upload your GBPVR logs and I will have a look.

I meant upload to this forum. In any case the problem is your network it is taking too long for the dongle to transfer by tftp, this usually takes me 15 seconds. It still could be firewall related and you have got work on improving this transfer speed. If you are using a wireless bridge try a wired connection.

Since you are trying to load the mvpmc dongle try the Hauppauge dongle it is smaller but with the slow throughput you might have some problems with video anyway.

This is in the GBPVR configuration utility, "MVP&NMT" tab, "Number of servers to autostart", set it for the number of MVP's in use at a time on your network.
hello guys,
thanks you so much for your help i really appreciate, right now its seems to work but i have an issue here. I was asking my self why when i start the device it goes to directly to the mvpmc screen and not the gbpvr. cause i see that i have to select some how if i want to go to gbpvr. anywase if you can help me figure that 1 out. it will be greate
thanks
The MVP will need to connect to the Hauppage server on the same IP as GPBVR for the autoload to work. The boot script uses this IP from flash to tftp the dongle.bin.config from GBPVR.
Martin
i see what you mean, but what should happen if i didnt add the mvpmc.bin file in the "config" windows? what should be there at the TV?
If you use dongle.bin and not mvpmc.bin you will should see GBPVR.
