With the release of the 1.3 Software Update for the MediaSmart Server[1] , HP have included PVConnect (formerly TwonkyVision). This software listens on TCP port 9000 which conflicts with SqueezeCenter[2].


To change the port that PVConnect listens on, you need to edit the twonkyvision-mediaserver.ini file on the server as follows: -


  • Remote Desktop to your server
  • Open c:\twonkymedia\twonkyvision-mediaserver.ini
  • Find the section

# HTTP server port

httpport=

and add the port you wish to use (i.e. 9090)

# HTTP server port

httpport=9090

NB:You must add this new port to your firewall exceptions and also add the new port to your router.
