MVP stuck at "Loading Application"

[anedjf]

My MVP, which has worked great, suddenly decided it wasn't happy. It wouldn't respond to the remote, so I rebooted it, it connects to the network, pulls a DHCP address, then sticks on "Loading Application". I restarted the GB-PVR MediaMVP Service, no luck, restarted the recording service, no luck, rebooted the entire PC, no luck.

It looks to be listening on the right port, from a netstat, I see:

TCP pc-home:5906 pc-home:0 LISTENING
TCP pc-home:8337 pc-home:0 LISTENING

Here is what seems to be the relevant portions of the log file:

Any ideas?

Does the original hauppauge software still work?

[anedjf]

Never installed it, just the drivers. I can check, though.

[anedjf]

Ok, so the strangeness continues. I installed the Hauppauge software, and it works. Then I stop the Hauppauge software, start the GBPVR MVP Server, and it all works.

Strange, did dongle.bin get hung up in the MVP?

One other thing that is strange is that it wasn't showing up in my DHCP bindings table before, though I could ping .104, now it is showing up in the table. Strange!

Thanks,
