That's not so good! Is this after a power cycle of the MVP? I believe HWC 
recommend a 5 second pause between pulling out and plugging in the power 
cord.

When the MVP boots, how many of the blocks are cleared?

On your vdr box, can you check /etc/hosts to make sure the hostname of the 
vdr box isn't defined as 127.0.0.1. If it is, remove it and set it 
correctly - the plugin does a gethostname() and then a gethostbyname() to 
find out its IP address, if it's set to 127.0.0.1 then the MVP tries to 
connect to itself.

If that doesn't work then try the console version where you can set the 
server ip address in the config file.

If that fails then can you get me a network capture using tcpdump (eg 
tcpdump -w mvp -s 1500 -i eth0 host [mvp ip address]) from your vdr box 
and I'll see what's happening.

hope this helps,

d.

week which removes the dependency on streamdev.]
