I know its probably annoying for everyone else to see this all the time, but I would like to thank you Sub for doing such an excellent job on GBPVR.
I finally had some "free" time and decided to try to upgrade to 0.97.7. Well, the upgrade seemed to go fine. I got the message in my event log about ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.dll not being installed, but it did install it. I can run GBPVR on my server without any problems and playback seems fine. However my server is in a closet and not connected to a TV. I use 3 Media MVP's. It has been very hit and miss as to wether I can get them to connect. In attempting to determine what is the problem, I was using TCView from SysInternals. It seems like the different MediaMVP's are connecting to the same GBPVR.exe process. I don't know all the inner workings of GBPVR, but when I do get a MediaMVP connected, it establishes 2 connections to the same GBPVR.exe process. When I see connections from different MVP's to the same process, it never works. I assume one of these connections is the control/VNC channel and the other is the media streaming/data channel. I am attaching a section of TCPView.
I have no firewall enabled and I am running on Windows Server 2003 and I have converted the database as well and have disabled all plugins and deleted all files from my plugins folder (although this doesn't seem to affect this issue from what I can see). I am using the standard dongle.bin as well.
If I start up a single MVP server and only have one MVP plugged in, all seems to work just fine.
I have looked through the logs and can't see anything that would indicate what the issue is. They only seem to show a single MVP MAC/IP address.
