Can't get MVP to work...

[oshapir]

Had the same problem - flashing SageTV logo and then shut down...
To fix it I just stopped the SageTV server, deleted all of the files in /clients folder.
Restarted the SageTV Server - and reconnected the MVP.
I got a new /clients/xxxxxxxx.properties file.
Shut down the SageTV Server and MVP again.
Edit the xxxxxxxx.properties file and add:
STV=C\:\\Program Files\\Sagetv\\SageTV\\STVs\\SageTV3\\SageTV3.xml
Start the SageTV server again, then the MVP ->
Now it works!

Thankfully, SageTV support is working with me on this now.

lindemonkey, I'll try your suggestions if things don't get resolved through support.

oshapir, I saw this suggestion in some older threads as well, but oddly enough I don't have any /clients/ directory. Either it doesn't exist in the newer SageTV versions, or it isn't created until a client successfully connects.

Thanks for the help everyone.

Q*bert,

Did you ever get this fixed? If so, what was the solution?

No, I still have the same problem.

Tech support seems just as stumped as I am...

Q*bert: I was just talking to SageTV & they commented that most of the MVP connection issues have been taken care of in the software, or via known configuration steps. Your issue is one of the few unresolved ones, so they are still interested in hearing from you if you are still interested in trying to work on this one.

That goes for anyone, really... if you are still having issues getting the MVP to work with v4.1.9, please follow up by contacting SageTV via support or a bug report.

I was just today planning on buying a new MVP.
I have 2 MVP's using 4.1.10 now. One of the MVPs has been working fine for ever, the other one has the same exact issue as Q*Bert described, loading, starting, sometimes gets to the light blue sage splash, then goes black.
BTW this has been biting me since 4.1.8 i think...
I have tried everything, MVP on seperate network with JUST server, rebuilt server, rebuilt the whole machine 2x trying to work this out. The same one MVP always works, the otherone does not. Gave to my friend who is a sage user, he plugged it in his house same results !! he said "it must be hardware"

BUT... Hauppauge software works FINE !!

Durning my troubleshooting I caught some ethereal caps and saw some TCP checksum issues coming from the MVP after the software push. I will redo this capture and submit.

Just a guess here... is there some NVRAM area in the MVP ?? needs a good reset ???

Now I will troubleshoot some more, thought it was just me....
