Hey, all. Need some help here.
I'm trying to get the Hauppage MediaMVP working with gbPVR, but I'm striking out.
My system:
Dell 8400
D-Link wireless router (but everything's connected with ethernet cables)
Hauppage MediaMVP
Plextor connectX M402U capture device.
Sygate Firewall
Windows XP Home (windows firewall off)
I install gbPVR. Setup and everything goes smoothly, and it works on my computer.
So. I close my firewall to get that out of the way. I install the MVP software and plug in the MVP. Everything works fine from the Hauppage end. Their GUI comes up. Everything's looking good.
I disable Hauppage's services (MVPMedia and MVPMediaSvc). I start up the gbPVR config and enter the "number of servers to autostart" in the Playback menu to 1. I hit okay, and the recording service restarts. Under the services menu, "GB-PVR Recording Services" is now running.
Okay now, I unplug the MVP and replug it in. But now it doesn't work. All I get is "connecting to servers" then it waffles between "Failed to Locate GUI Server" and "Failed to Locate Streaming Server."
I'm out of ideas. I've tried it with gbPVR running and not running. With the GB MediaMVP program/window running and not running (btw, does this have to be open for it to work). The moment I re-enable the MVP services, things work again.
So in short, the connections all seem to be okay, but the MVP can't pull the interface from GB PVR for some reason. Any ideaas?
Thanks
