GBPVR works on Server not on Popcorn

[mrgtstr]

I am stuck! I have been using gbpvr and the popcorn hour for a while. I recently built a new server, which is running server 2003 thats a domain controller and have have used this setup before, but for some reason I am struggling this time around. I can get gbpvr to work directly on the server, but its hit and miss on the popcorn. I used the latest NMTintall.exe for setup and have attached my log file for any appreciated help.

I don't know what hit and miss means. From these logs I can see you trying to play LiveTV with a Tim McGraw show but the media isn't streaming. Everything configured in the logs looking ok, but I don't think the web server is working properly there might be a firewall problem with the GBPVRRecordingService.exe not being open for TCP on port 7647.

Thanks for the quick reply Martin. Hit miss meaning sometimes the guide will come up and sometimes I can watch TV. When it doesn't work all I get is a black screen. The firewall is disabled....

This still sounds like a firewall issue but it coule be a networking issue. Is you NMT on the same subnet 172.31.1.x ? If it is, I'd check cables the switch etc.

Verified ip config and restarted router and switch and still the same result. I also have a few MVP's and they are working flawlessly. I am guessing its down to firmware in popcorn and/or network settings on the server I am missing....

If it worked on another server is is not the firmware.

Can you open the web server on the local machine from the browser http://localhost:7647/

Another thing to try is to stop the gbpvr recording server and delete the files in gbpvr\web\bin and let gbpvr reinstall them.

Finally since for debugging you are autostarting 1 server make sure the MVP's stay unplugged or disconnected. They are promiscuous and won't give up if they are plugged in.

I said firmware since the firmware is newer this time around

http://localhost:7647 doesn't work....

Until you get the web server running locally and see this error, I expect you will have problems.

Yup! That be the page I am getting. Off the top of your head, any idea why the webserver part is not working? Will IIS have an impact on the gbpvr webserver?

[mvallevand]

Ok, that page means the web server is working.

Could you telnet to your NMT and run this

/etc/mvpmc/mvpmcx2

and then sent me back the capture log of your telnet session.
