k, thanks alot there I will digest things more when I get home. You may have an issue with share permissions and I suggest you look at the file attributes with cacls as I suggested to turas. Alternative if you unzip mvpmc directly into that folder the proper permissions should be created. Martin

Doh, that dreaded share thing again. Yes you are correct (edited psot above) I didn't unzip directly to my share, but added a Guest share (presumably this is sufficient?) and it seems to accept that long config line except it gives me

Code:

# /etc/mvpmc/defaults: /etc/mvpmc/defaults: 1: CONF: not found
/etc/mvpmc/defaults: /etc/mvpmc/defaults: 1: Éû: not found

I do have a defaults file, it is shared, so I am not sure what gives there.

I'll try emulation and logs (or I might try your other method...)

It's not /etc/mvpmc/defaults it's /etc/mvpmc/mvpmc In your last message you wrote it wrong but your putty logs were ok, so I didn't say anything.

:o Too many blond moments... have been editing my original post (can you check if OK, in case anyone else follows this method?).

Will try again later, need to go to work!

How do I get PuTTy session logging to stick? I choose session logging but it never produces a file?

That is better. The only thing ctrl-c doesn't really kill mvpmc when you put the & at the end of the command line, but it will exit the telnet shell leaving mvpmc running.

If you are running from a saved profile, load the profile, update the settings you want and save the profile.

I find that even though the logging properties is specifying a default log file, I still have to choose "Browse" to pick a location for the file to be created.

Hi Martin,

Today I had two moments where the MVP didn't respond to my remote. It happened at 21:37 and 22:00. I didn't make the screenshots when it happened, because I thought I could go back in the output of Putty. Later that evening I did press Ctrl+C to stop the log from refreshing all the time, trying to make a screenshot.
However, at 21:37 I did see something like "Broken Pipe" in the log, is this any help? How can I make sure I don't lose the logs the next time?

Your GBPVR logs actually look really really, good probably the best match to how I expect to see the data. I don't have logs that consistent to the way mvpmc is sending data on the sockets. I see nothing abnormal at 22:00 at all. At 21.37 I do so about 30 seconds where GBPVR didn't respond but that is about it. I especially will need to see your client side logs.

The Broken Pipe isn't a reall problem unless it is looping on the message, typically it just means that a constant video feed has be interrupted, maybe by a channel change, ff/rw skip etc.

Tonight, using 4 Dec dongle, played a recording but using exit button at end I got a black screen. Eventually a screen came up but it wasn't handling remote commands at all well. It seemed to store (discard?) them then a screen would change. Had to pwr the mvp off and on to restore service.

Lindsay from your logs I definitely see huge delays when you hit the exit on one file. Two screen updates which should be sub-second took minutes to display which would be black screen

During this time all the mvpmc screen update requests queue up until they all seem to be released at

I can't imagine why is taking this long, but is something for me to look deeper at but I will review my end of stream code.

Thanks for your trouble, Martin. In your own time. Help appreciated.
