Just to confirm - you get the menus etc, but video playback doesnt work? If so, do you have the web server and NMT stream enabled on the Misc2 tab of the config app?

[mvallevand]

Your client side looks ok so could you zip and upload your logs, from "C:\Program Files\devnz\GBPVR\logs" ?

My first guess would be that you are trying to watch digital tv with the DVR-MS mux.

Martin

[ahanson]

Yes, menus working, have tried both digital and analog live-tv and recordings.

[mvallevand]

Ok, is see you have "Start GB-PVR web on: 80"

GB-PVR doesn't support a method of telling mvpmcx2 to change the port from 7647.

Martin

[ahanson]

Ooo. stupid me, didn't think that mvpmcx2 needed http access...

changed and livetv works

It looks like you don't have the config.xml set up to identify that this device is a PCH. Even if you are trying to run in SD you need to have the section to not try and convert ts to mpg on-the-fly.
