MVP failed to locate GUI server

Hi there,

I've had an MVP working fine using Matt's plugin. I'm trying to reconfigure to use the native support in Sage 4.1. When I boot the MVP, it gives the message "Failed to locate GUI server". Any suggestions for where I should start the troubleshooting?

Update:

I uninstalled the Hauppauge MVP software on the server, thinking that it was causing a conflict with Sage. Now, I simply get "Contacting Servers" forever.

Matt's plugin was working.

Any tips?

Try adding the following line to your Sage.properties file :

debug_logging=TRUE

Then turn on the MVP. You should get a log file in your Sage directory. Mine was called sagetv_0.txt.

You could check this thread for an example of what you might see in the log file: http://forums.sagetv.com/forums/showthread.php?t=14907

Problem solved.

I had updated the firmware on my router. After doing this, I turned my MVP on (red LED had been off). But apparently that isn't enough to get the MVP to re-apply for a DHCP address -- I had to unplug it and plug it in again. It got a network address, found the server, and I'm up and running.
