Cannot reconnect with gbpvr server after initial connection...

[venger]

Hi all,

After all the good work by johnvk, I can now get my MVP to talk to my GBPVR server... mpegs are playing fine with full skipping supported..

however, I am finding that while the initial connection between MVP and GBPVR server is now easy to establish.. subsequent reconnects by my MVP fail at "loading application...".
This normally happens since my MVP is not always on but my PC machine remains running.

Observations:
(1) Killing GBPVR.exe (from task manager) does not solve the problem.

(2) Restarting GBPVRRecordingService.exe (via Config.exe) DOES solve the problem.

My questions:
(a) Does anyone else see the same thing in their setup?
(b) What is the cause for the above behaviour? What is the fix?

thanks all,

PS: my setup : both MVP and PC are connected (using CAT5e) to an DSL modem router (Linksys WRT54GS).

Hi Venger,

Sorry, but this time I am clueless. I can't reproduce the problem you're experiencing.

thxn for the response johnvk

hmm.. strange.. i reset my PC and again, my MVP got stuck at "loading application...".
Restarted gbpvr.exe and the gbpvr recordings service, and presto, MVP is connecting fine with GBPVR again ..
Then I switch off and on my MVP.. and again good connection...

so I'm really not sure why my MVP is stuck at loading application .. seems intermittent to me now..

oh well.. play a bit more.. and see...
