No, it is added to the mvpmc command line found in the optional dongle.config startup script, which resides on your TFTP server, but is retrieved and executed by the MVP. Take a look at the relevant dongle.config pages on the wiki. They explain what it is used for, how to supply it to the MVP, and give several examples of the contents. See also the wiki page on the command line options. > I don't have a dongle.conf when I executed make mvp. No, it is a file you create. In general, it is optional, and customized for the particular user's needs. But if you're new to mvpmc, why are you running 'make mvp'? The project provides ready to use binary dongles. > But, the mediamvp does see the server box because it shows the IP on the > screen... You're saying when you select the menus "Settings | VLC Streaming | VLC Server IP" you see the IP address of your server running VLC? If so, then it sounds like you don't need to bother with a dongle.config file. > ...but when I select that source the MediaMVP justs shows "Contacting > servers" all of the time. The VLC server is running and firewall > ports...are open. If you have any doubt about the firewall settings, try connecting to those ports using telnet (at least some of them should accept a TCP connection) on another machine. Try connecting to your VLC server using VLC as a client on another machine. Ideally you should try some of these from the command line on the MVP, but it lacks a telnet client and I don't think there is any way you can directly try out VLC from the MVP's command line. You can, however, kill the running mvpmc, and restart it using the --vlc option, if you want to try that out before you create and install a dongle.config file. -Tom ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
