Hi,

After trawling through the forums and the MVP wiki I thought I would add a note here for anyone who has the same problem as me when using GBPVR on the Hauppauge MediaMVP.

When trying to play any non-Mpeg 1/2 file the MVP would just reset back to the "contacting server" screen and after different dongles, changing the transcoding, installing/uninstalling the Hauppauge software I couldn't find out why this was happening.

After a lot of frustration I found one simple thing which was broken: I had no "C:/Temp" directory for the temporary transcoding to take place! That's all it was! Just FYI, in the "config" options, under the "directory" tab there is a reference to the temporary directory used to transcode files, normally "C:/Temp". I am assuming that this is the directory used by GBPVR when it does the transcoding for the MVP so just make sure you have this directory available!

Thanks to everyone for all the posts and help on the site, and to the authors of GBPVR - I'm now using GBPVR succesfully with my wireless MVP. Big Grin

i'm pretty sure that dir is hardcoded and not changeable... [tho it may just be tied to your %temp% variable,which is changeable]
those defaults you see aren't for mvp transcodes...just samples..
kinda like the old zap2it epg download temp..it always makes a file in c:\ [unless that's changed for SD]
so always keep plenty of c: space free..Big Grin

Its not hardcoded. Its the recordings directory that is set to in the config app.

I think it's actually the Live TV Buffer directory for Live TV and the Recording directory for and ffmpeg transcodes and Internet Radio temp files.
