Configuring a slave server

elliottmc · 2007-04-20, 19:05

Hi,

Sorry for posting a question which may seem obvious to some, but I've read the docs and watched the videos, and I'm still having trouble.

So, I have a master server running SVN 13942, and it works well and my two client machines can connect to it reliably. All good so far. The server has a Nova-t 500 card in it (dual DVB) and both cards work well.

I also have tuner cards in one of the clients, a nova-t and a WinTV-250 analogue hardware card (all Hauppauge).

So, I wanted to set this machine up as a slave server so I had access to more tuners.

So, with MediaPortal 0.2.2 + SVN 13942 + TV Plugin 13942 installed and working, I then installed the TV server (save version).

When going into configuration for the first time, it asked me where the SQL server was. As I'm using Microsoft SQL Server 2005, this was "server\SQLEXPRESS". Typed in my password, clicked "test" and all was fine, so I saved the settings.

When I got through to the server configuration, after clicking to start the TV service, all I had in the left-hand pane was "TV Servers". Everything below this (TV channels, Radio stations, Recording, Manual Control) had disappeared. When I went into the server configuration on the master server, I had the same.

Although I can see the two new cards in the server configuration, there is nothing in "type" and when I click to configure the cards, the only option I have is to tell it how many channels the CAM can decode. No option to tune, etc.

I wonder if someone can tell me, is this a known problem? Should I have installed and configured both servers before installing the plugins?

I haven't installed SQL Server on the second server, since the wiki indicates that I don't need to!

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Mark

Hi,

Just found this thread

So it appears to be a known problem. Oh well, I can wait.

This can happen too if you have a bad file in the tuningparameters folder
