So my refurb turned up tonightand I managed to resist the urge to open the box until after going for a quick bike ride.....all this couch potatoe'ing is taking its toll!
So after playing with it for around 1/2 an hour ignoring the gbpvr aspect I got around to mvpmcx2. I followed the wiki and had it gbpvr'ing in 20 minutes or so...fantastic work well done.
From a fresh eyes perspective I have 2 comments:
The wiki is not to clear on the fact that if you leave the installer at defaults that it will download gbpvr and install it on your server. I had to kill the installer at this point and re-start but unticking the first check boxes....I'm guessing anyone who is going for gbpvr on a PCH has probably already got gbpvr on their server....it's not a critisism just a noob to pch observation.
The other is, once instaled when you go to the network share and run gbpvr you are faced with 3 options: gbpvr, gbpvr network, gbpvr usb...it's prbably in the wiki or forum somewhere but I think it would be good to pre-arm the user with what these mean and why there are 3 options.
So far the only problem I have is that it's fine if I browse network to the mvpmc folder on the share then run the gbpvr file.....but if I map the mvpmc folder as a media source then run gbpvr from there it doesn't launch I'm guessing it's something to do with the naming but I didn't change it, just copied mvpmc to the share name.
