Failed to locate GUI Server

[Folkboat]

Down loaded the latest version on SageTV last night, I always like the interface...however.

Been running 2 MVP's with GBPVR for 6 months - no problems. Run MVP's with Hauppauge package - no problem.

There are are GBPVR nor Hauppauge services running.

For some strange reason the Hauppauge boot up MVP screen just blinks
"Failed to Locate GUI Server".

Any ideas???

Thanks

Since you said no other MVP software is running, did you make sure the extender server is enabled in Detailed Setup -> Advanced? If you turned that on recently, make sure you also toggled the SageTV Server option right above it or restarted SageTV. Also be sure to allow SageTV on the server PC access through any firewall on the server PC.

Yes......

Both SageTV and Media Extender have been enables/disabled quit a few times.
Running XP/SP1 no firewalls enable.

One thing is I did try SageTV a while back, not sure which version. Deleted it and removed all traces from the system.

Should there a "Clients" folder in the SageTV directory??

There was not in my trial download!!

Everything else in SageTV works very well - except for the MVP client side.

Any thoghts??

Thanks

No, there won't be a 'clients' subdirectory until after a remote client connects.

Your network has a DHCP server enbaled? If you'll provide some details about your network setup, perhaps someone will notice something about it. Also, try contacting support... though you probably won't get a reply until after the weekend is over.

Its been a while since I dont use my wMVP, till today, I've been upgarding SageTV (right now im on 6.1.6RC) and I cant seem to get my wMVP to boot.
Ive tried via wireless with less than 1 meters away from AP, and with Ethernet cable. I get stuck on the same screent " contacting Servers..... Failed to locate GUI Server".

However, I tried installing the Hauppauge software on my non SageTV computer, and I can make the unit work with it (but who wants the hauppauge media center software when we got/want sage)

When I check to verify network connection, I do get an IP from the DHCP server, and if I go to the server listings, I do see my SageTV and the other PC with the Hauppage Sofware. If i set it to the hauppauge server it boots ok, but when I set it to the sagetv, it gets stuck on that screen.

Any idea what could I have wrong? I have rev 2.05 / H2 (i got it replaced onces from hauppauge since i had one of the first wMVP units out there)

Thanks!

I have a feeling this issue may be the same as the one I have. I'll move my post here if we find a solution...
