"Request cannot be processed"

[Rory]

I installed GBPVR and MVPmcX2 using NMTInstall.exe. to my XP machine. Using all the defaults, 720p and Mac address in the format 0006DCXXXX (all caps no colons periods or spaces) not touching GBPvr except to autostart a server and the Web service. I shared the folder mvpmc to guests (simple file sharing on, guest access on)
I have set the PCH video mode to 1080i 60hz, (connected via HDMI to my new 2nd hand HD Ready set that seems to upscale everything to 1080i) created an unnamed share on my PCH-110 that links to mvpmc folder on machine GX620. When I do http://192.168.xx.xx:8883/network_share.html where the x's are the ip of my PCH I can see the 1.GX620:mvpmc folder. I have set up manual ip on my PCH. I cant telnet back to my GX620 machine from PCH because I cant for the life of me figure out how but I can browse to mvpmc on GX620, see the GBPVR.html file but whenever I click "GBPVR via network browser" I get "Request cannot be processed" without delay.
I installed mvpmcx2 to a USB stick and it ran GBPVR fine from there although the menu took up the left middle of the screen in a 720 x 540 or thereabouts size window. (and did if I set video mode to 720p)
I have been through twenty or so posts with this error and have spent all day reinstalling and tweaking everything I can think of.
One strange thing is when I reboot the PCH I get a choice of Hard Disk, network Browser, or the MVPMC share. This option then disappears after 20 secs or so. Then after i try to run GBPVR (and get the error message) whenever i try to press the Source button or the "Media Source" option in the Main menu, I get the "Request cannot be processed" error and can't navigate around the media without rebooting the PCH. GRRR !
I bought this PCH second hand, with a 500G drive full of movies, i will clone the films off overnight so I can do a clean reinstall of the NMT apps and reformat the disk to see if that does anything.
I am at the end of my tether and that means coming here to test the saintly patience of Martin and sub and all you good people, who will hopefully hold my hand through setting the permissions and whatever of my new toy...

best

1. What version of the firmware is running? It shows on the setup screen

2. Upload your GBPVR logs when you connect via usb and I will have a look to get you an HD screen.

3. Never try more than one option from GB-PVR.html without powering off

Firmware is fine, since it is" "used", you might not know but the PCH harddisk cache has to be cleared regularly. From the NMT wiki
"# Press 'filemode' in the Setup>Maintenance screen to "Clear Cache", very useful for jukebox users." This is not an issue when there is no hard disk.

There is no config.xml entry for 0006DC434C2B which explains the screen size

Power off, yes the PCH unplug or with a switch and not just the remote,

The Filemode button did the trick, thanks.
That and a clue in your post - that I had left 2 characters off the MAC.. got me going.. in all modes. Now all running OK.
Looking great.
many thanks.
