To install the new MediaMVP program (server and MediaMVP application):
On the PC server
- download the new MediaMVP setup program and unzip it
- run the MediaMVP setup
On your MediaMVP
- remove the power plug from the MediaMVP . Wait 10 seconds.
- plug the power into the MediaMVP.
- If this is a new installation, you will need to choose your Access Point and MediaMVP server (see the MediaMVP Quick Install Guide for information on the MediaMVP network setup)
- It takes about 2 minutes to load the MediaMVP application once the power plug is plugged in.
Updates in this version:
- Support for the Wireless MediaMVP
- Faster "volume" operation
- New configuration menu for adjusting the time for the screen saver, the number of seconds for playing slide shows, and more. These items are on the second configuration page.
- New two line display for videos, showing length of video in hours/minutes/seconds
- "Sticky" sorting preferences
- Now supports the "new" Hauppauge remote with separate volume buttons, plus a new ergonomic design.
- Update for WindowsXP SP2 firewall: this version checks for the presence of the WindowsXP firewall,. If the Xp firewall is detected, you will be asked if settings can be made to the firewall to enable the MediaMVP to access the PC through the firewall.
- Fix for stuttering MPEG videos on previous beta version
- Faster user interface - menu navigation is faster
- SCART connector now powers off when turning off your MediaMVP using the green power button on the remote control
New features:
New information line for videos: a new two line status bar has been added so that longer file names can be viewed, plus the length (in time) of the video is displayed.
Hit the green button at the bottom of your Hauppauge remote to see the video status at any time while playing a video.
New configuration menu: there is a second page added in Settings/Configuration to set the time out for the screen saver, a setting for the time between pictures when running a slide show, a default preference for displaying files (date ascending, descending, size, etc.)
TV Scheduler: This version of MediaMVP has the ability to schedule recordings on the PC server IF the PC has a WinTV installed. During the installation of the MediaMVP update, you will be asked if you want to allow the scheduling of WinTV recordings. Click 'Yes' to do so. You will asked to enter your Windows password. The scheduler can be found under Settings/Scheduler.
Music ID3 tags now are displayed: this version of MediaMVP software will display ID3 tags when browsing or playing MP3 music. ID3 data is automatically displayed when you play music. To see the ID3 information when browsing through lists of MP3 music, click the Record button on your remote control.
Fix for Failed to contact GUI server: This error message might show up in some local area networks with either firewall software, traffic shaping software (e.g. Netlimiter, etc.), or even with the latest "Advanced networking package for XP" (on some PCs together with other 3rd party software).
This error has been fixed by changing the MediaMVP GUI server network connection inheritance scheme. A software update with this fix is included in our latest MediaMVP installer. To install, download this link and run it, then unplug your MediaMVP so it can load the new software.

Video files with AC3 audio have no sound on play back
Go into the Setup menu of the Media MVP. Click on System/ Info/ Software and check to see if the Codec Token is set to AC3 . If it is set to None, you need to contact Techsupport and give us the MAC address on the bottom of the unit.
