Anybody ever try Orb with GBPVR and MVP?

Orb is supposed to be a media server. Has anybody used that to stream to the MVP?

I contacted them thinking about making a client for mvpmc, but they did not want to share their protocol.

I have used orb and GBPVR together on the same box in the past (~1-2 years ago). Worked very well, but the ORB client pegged the CPU from time to time, so I dumped it.

I am about to give it another go.

Somewhere I thought I saw that Orb would play DRM files. If that was the case, I could have Orb serve my DRM files, and get GBPVR to pass the stream to my MVP. But in testing, it seems that the client still needs the license.

My video server wasn't good enough for Orb. I wasn't about to put it on the GBPVR PC.

I don't have an MVP, but if it works with a UPNP server then it should work with Orb, though IIRC you have to dig in the Orb setup somewhere to find-out how to turn-on UPNP.

UPNP was easy to turn on in Orb - I think it might be on by default even - but I was unable to get it to work with mvpmc. I unfortunately don't know enough about debugging mvpmc nor have the time to devote to it.

But in theory one should be able to get it working.
