RE: DVAClient now called "ReplaySix"

Jeff,

What you did is correct.  There is no need to modify the /etc/hosts file, and
there is no need to modify anything in the src directory (that is just the
source code if you want to modify the program and recompile.)

Possible problems: DVArchive does not have its server running, isn't running on
the default port, you didn't use a numerical IP address (using the computer's
name will not work), you have a firewall enabled blocking access to the
DVArchive server, you didn't save the file with the changes, or you are
modifying a different copy of the file than the Roku is accessing.

You can test the DVArchive connection using this link in your web browser on
your local network (preferably from a different PC than the one running
DVArchive, but you can also do this on the same PC):

http://192.168.0.1:8042/replayInfo?DVR=ALL

where the 192.168.0.1 must be replaced with the numerical IP address of your
DVArchive machine.  If this works you should get an XML document back listing
everything you DVArchive machine knows.  If this doesn't work, then neither
will ReplaySix, and something isn't enabled or set up correctly in DVArchive.
