MVP stuck at "Loading Application"

[grits]

I've used the MVP with GBPVR for quite awhile and have been quite satisfied. I'm not sure what happened, but recently the MVP was stuck on the "Connecting" screen and wouldn't load GBPVR.

I've tried:
- powering off the MVP and restarting. It cycles through the all the steps as usual (checking ethernet connectivity, etc), then gets stuck at the "Loading Application" screen.
- I reloaded GBPVR on the PC server, no luck
- I checked other GBPVR stuff, like web access, and everything at the PC seems to be working fine, it is recording shows and I can look at stuff through the web interface on the home LAN. I can stream through the web interface.
- I stopped the GBPVR service, and started the 3 hauppauge services. I then restarted the MVP. The old hauppauge mediaMVP interface loads and works, so connectivity doesn't appear to be an issue.

Does anyone have suggestions as to what else I can check, or which logs I could post? Router settings perhaps? The only thing I've recently done is add a Windows Home Server on the network but that is a separate machine.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

I'll ask the obvious... Do you have an MPV server enabled to autostart under the MVP & NMT tab in the config app? One has to be running for each MVP.

Next most common problem is Windows Firewall. Occasionally Microsoft decides to turn the firewall on via one of their updates, even if you have another firewall app. Grrr.... You have to make sure that there is an exclusion for PVRX2.exe or the firewall will block access from the MVP.

Yes, I have MVP autostart set to 1. And I have Windows Firewall OFF. The protection on my router is good enough for me. I've had this running for over two years so I can't figure it out, especially since the old mediaMVP interface loads fine. Any other suggestions?

Not much info, but please post your logs (why do I always have to ask?) and I will have a look. Hopefully you are using wired networking.

Sorry, haven't had a chance to get to this. I managed to get by the Loading Application screen, but I'm back to my original problem of it alternating between the Connecting and Lost connection to GUI message on the MVP, and GBPVR still doesn't load. I've attached my logs. I'm new to deciphering these, but I see a fatal error trying to load some plug in stuff. Should I just disable those plugins in config?

Upgrade your Weather2 plugin, you are running an old one and the new one has some pretty significant changes for MVP/NMT users.

That did it, disabled that plugin and GBPVR is back. Will upgrade my Weather plugin later. Thanks to everyone, I may be able to fix it myself next time. "Just look in the logs, that's what they're for."
