Black screen and restart

You will have to wait until I support --emulate I guess but that will have to wait until after dvd support. I guess until then you will need to disable mvprelay and use gbpvr to serve the dongle.

Ok, I'll try and change my setup. What I was doing was setting up my DHCP/TFTP server to have one MVP use the mvpmc dongle and all others use the dongle from the gbpvr server. I thought setting my dhcp server like the following would have worked.

Code:

group {
  host mvp1 {
      next-server 192.168.10.41;          # IP address of your TFTP server
      filename "dongle.bin";
      option root-path "/home/mvp,rsize=4096,wsize=4096,nolock";
      hardware ethernet 00:0d:fe:0c:3a:93;
      fixed-address 192.168.10.80;
  }
  host pch {
           hardware ethernet 00:06:dc:41:eb:70;
           fixed-address 192.168.10.82;
           next-server 192.168.10.20;
  }
}

So from what you are saying, it sounds like it is selecting the mvprelay server as it's media server and without a --emulate=<IP>, then it will keep hitting my mvprelay server.

Man, I'm really going to have to fiddle with my setup. Just when you think you have it all done right.

Yep, did a quick test. I kill my mvprelay server and it went directly to the gbpvr screen. I'll play with it tomorrow to see how well it works. The first thing I noticed is that the gbpvr screen seems to be set wider than my television. I'll have to play with mvp position plugin I guess.

Greg, I mislead you yesterday, I copied even more of the mvpmc emulation mode code in then I thought. --emulate xx.xx.xx.xx should actually work.

Yep that worked. On to the next tests.

Thanks,
