I successfully have my Nova-T PCI, MVP and GB-PVR up and running in very basic form.
However there are some major problems which are stopping me from getting any real benefit from the set-up. To recall an old Two Ronnies sketch, "we apologise for the loss of sound and vision on this channel, we do hope it is not spoiling your enjoyment"!
At this stage I should say I have some old and low spec hardware. A PIII 600, NVIDIA RIVA TNT2 Model 64/Model 64 Pro, 256 Mb RAM and W2K (Net thingy 1.1, MDAC and DirectX 9c are installed). However, I get a superb Live TV picture on the server and since I don't have 200 quid to spend on better hardware I'd like to stick it out.
I have checked old threads but I'm struggling to find a way forward with the following:
1) Music files will not play on the MVP or server. Hitting play has no effect. The same MP3s are fine played direct from WMP. Running the standard Hauppauge server software I can hear the same music streams fine on the MVP
2) I can't get any Live TV on the MPV (perfect on the server). It says there is no tuner available
3) The MVP reboots frequently and locks up (okay, there are some threads on this and I am following them up but I thought I'd include it in case it improves overall understanding)
4) I did have Net Radio working but this has conked out now. Same prob as 1) but at least it makes out it's playing the stream just no sound.
I have successfully installed the Weather plug-in and this runs fine on the MVP. In fact I'm tempted to say the outlay and effort spent so far is worth it for this alone. Cool!
I don't expect detailed answers, that's not fair on you guys. But any general pointers to get moving again would be very welcome. Please don't tell me to get new hardware though unless you really, really believe it is behind the problems! The PC in question will only be used as the GB-PVR/MVPserver, it has no other role and will just sit in a corner.
Thanks,
Robert
