No video with PCH on New Win 7 install

[roy]

I've installed Win7 32 Home (dual boot) on my HTPC. All went very smoothly, NPVR up and running, copied mvpmc share folder over, I think I have everything shared properly and the firewall all opened up.

PCH boots up, sees the same old media share, loads NPVR, menus work, but will not play video or sound. Only get black screen that drops back to menu after a minute or two.

I've rebooted several times. Doesn't help. One thing I've noticed is that while PCH has black screen, if I change the skin background image on the PC, then restart NPVR, the background has not changed, and sometimes on reboot, the PCH does not get skin changes. Is something being locked? Win7 permissions? :confused:

Logs attached that include syntax check.

I've got Win7 all ready to go except for this. Any suggestions?
Thanks

If you have only copied the share over then it wont work because you wont have the config.xml entries for your pch. I would reccomend using Martins installer for nPVR, it can be found here:http://forums.gbpvr.com//showthread.php?47179 or accessed via the npvr clients section in the wiki.

I would rename your share to _old or something then run the installer and tick both install/update mvpmc2 and NMT setup (and all sub sections) and web radio in plugin/skins if you want it.

That'll get you going in a tick.

Thank you! That did the trick. I think I was outsmarting myself trying to just copy everything over. I had run NMTInstall2 at least once, but not to create a new share. Then just a quick change to index.htm to call npvr.cgi rather than gbpvr.cgi and I'm off and running.

Cheers! Now I can go shovel more of the 20" of snow that has fallen today (which allowed me to stay home from work and play with the PVR)

No probs...makes a pleasant change to be able to help someone rather than being the one asking the questions...
