Hello all,

I've been using GBPVR successfully for quite some time now, but only watching recorded shows on the PC monitor. I purchased a MediaMVP some time ago, but am only now getting around to hooking it up. I'm having some issues getting it working I'm hoping some here will be able to help with.

What's working: the MVP connects to my PC and displays GBPVR menus. I can scroll around and make menu selections. However, when I select a show to watch, I get nothing but a black screen. I tried pushing just about every button on the remote to try to get back to the menu, but to no avail. The only way out is to reboot the MVP.

A secondary issue is that the MVP seems very slow in connecting... approximately 4 minutes from MVP power on to display of the GBPVR screen. Is there something that would be causing this? And could the two issues be related?

These two things are both symptoms that you haven't opened your firewall for PVRx2.exe on all TCP and UDP ports.

Yes, turning off Windows firewall makes everything work well.

In Control Panel > Firewall settings, when I click on the Exceptions tab, the GBPVR box is checked. Is there something else I have to do to allow GBPVR to work?

You need to add the same exception for PVRX2.EXE as GBPVR.ExE used to have in older versions.

Yes, that fixed it. I had forgotten that the exe name had changed.

Thanks for the help.

I'm seeing the same thing but the firewall doesn't seem to be the problem...

I have gbpvr running on my HTPC and i am trying to watch streaming video from my desktop. I am able to get the menu on my desktop but when I choose a channel i get a black screen and the PVRX2 app hangs.

if i look on the HTPC i can see mpg files are being created for the channel that i have selected to record.

I have the firewall disabled on both machines.

I have tried all of the MUXes on the HTPC (Microsoft, MainConcept, TS, Full TS)

I have attached the LOGS directory form both machines.

Any help would be appreciated.

oracle32 support for the client PC questions are usually posted in the main forum. Note if you are recording from the analog channels the mux isn't used.
