You're using multiseat setup right?

It seems that database connection fails and that's why you can't record.

Check out that your SQL Server configuration is correct for multiseat:

Hi seco

If "multiseat" is access to TV-server from other PC's then -
I dont use "multiseat" setup (the TV-server & MP are on the same PC), I will look in to the manual in any case.
One more - The TV-server is not able to preview a channel - I get windows error: "this application need to be closed ..." - is this relevant?

Thx for the help

Your logs show you cannot access the TVLibrary database, but this may be a firewall problem, especially if you have it disabled.

May help.

Hi

I disabled the FW - now I cant even view channel in MP.

Please please help

Just FYI: I'm running single seat with disabled Windows firewall without any problems or other issues..

There can be a issue with MP!.0RC1 if the firewall is disabled on installation, as yours was not, then that should not be a issue.

Are you running on a full admin account, or just as a user, may be a permissions thing why it cannot write info to the recording folder, make sure ts is chosen as format to record to (TVServer config\general\recording).
