This is what now works for me, sort of.
At the time of my last post, I did not have the Hauppauge MediaMVP software installed. The playback failed intermittently, in maybe one file out of ten, but the frequency varied a lot.
But the following plays files reliably, though only on one MVP at a time (I have two). I am using the latest GBPVR.exe (1.0.2337.12787) patch, though that may not be necessary.
(1) Install MediaMVP 3.0.24088
ftp.shspvr.com/download/mediamvp/mediamvp_3.0.24088.exe
(2) Leave the MVPMediaSvc service running on âautomaticâ, but set the MVPMedia service to âmanualâ.
I am now able to play both .mpg and DivX (.avi) files through GB-PVR much more reliably than before. The only glitches I see now are that when exiting from a file during playback, I sometimes can not get back to the main menu unless I punch the âMenuâ button. Otherwise, I must restart MediaMVP. And when reconnecting to the server, I briefly get a âFailed to Locate GUI Serverâ message, but then it connects properly. And I can play only one MediaMVP at a time, even though I start up two servers in GBPVR. But when I exit one, the other one immediately becomes available.
Also, I am able to copy the dongle.bin from MediaMVP into the GBPVR dongle folder, and it seems to improve the menu response a little. This is something of a hybrid kludge, but it may be useful for troubleshooting purposes.
