all it does is connecting to the TV-service directly and playing RTSP streams.
so if you:

• do not try to work with some special limited user-security-settings
• windows is up to date, means all windowsupdates installed and all patches mentioned in the requirements-wiki-pag
• windows is not one of these stupid "lite" versions
• no firewalls are active
• VLC can connect/play to an RTSP stream of tv.server on the server.pc

then it has to work.


which OS is the server.pc again?

Win XP Pro SP2 ... firewall turned off ... all patches installed ... user account is admin (did not do anything to the user settings at all, left it to the default of windows when u create a new user)

i have exactly the same on my server.pc, and there all works like a charm.
3 clients in the lan can connect to it and watch tv......

I dont understand.. why it shouldnt work ..
in order for me (or others) to help you .. can you run the testing tool which is included with mediaportal ? when the testtool is active.. do the thing you want to do (like activate a stream, which fails in your case..).. then close the application .. all logs will be zipped so you can attach them to a post in this forum and we can read them and see whats going on over there

sidenote:.. on most of the builds I have in use (currently 29-03-08 and still running).. I have replaced the streamingserver.dll .. otherwise I had the same problem as you, no picture on client, (I had to do that after build 20-03-08)
also .. when starting the tvserver I start a timeshift manually on a not encrypted channel for a few seconds..
then i do the same on an encrypted channel and stop it again ..
after that all my clients work (on XP) ..
I dont powerdown my tvserver.. it runs all day long.. when it works.. it works..

I do change the streamingserver dll.

Here are my logs of both server and client pc

Hi megacrypto,

did you enable remote TCP/IP access to the MSSQL server? Did you put in the right IP in tvserver? Is the host "htpc1" behind the IP 192.168.1.6?

Open a command line (cmd) and type "ping htpc1" and verify that there are no timeouts.

EDIT: I just read your server logs. Seems you have 2 IPs assigned at this box? Maybe try to change in the TV Server Setup the server IP. You can do this like:
Open TV Server Configuration
Click on "TV Servers"
Select your "Server" and then "Choose IP for streaming"
Select 192.168.1.6 as the IP, click ok and restart your TV Service.

HTH, Thomas
