Installing TV-Server on W2k8 Std. (1 Viewer)

[firetux]

Hi @all!

I know that the W2k8 Server is not supported but I had to reinstall my htpc and want to test setup Mediaportal on a W2k8 Server Std. Edition 32 Bit.

Mediaportal Version 1.0 (stable)

I've finished the installations.

- All Drivers
- All requiered Windows "features"
- All Windows Updates installed
- Mediaportal Server and Client installed (singe-seat)

But now I've the following issue:

When I try to configure TVServer (start TV-Server Configuration) it wants to start the tvservice but it is already started. After the starttimeout is over the TV-Server-Configuration says "Tv Service is not started". But when I look into the Windowsservices console I can see "started" and "automatic".

Is there a security property which has to be changed to use mediaportal on W2k8?
What do I wrong?

Windows Firewall is inactive!

I have the same error when I use the administrator account, too!

Maybe somebody has an idea and can although help me?

Thank you !!!

bye

I have exactly the same problem on a W2K8 SBS 64-bit.

When I try to run the latest SVN I get past the error but the server window is empty and the error.log says something that it's unable to get id. Will post the log when I get home this evening.

Better late than never... I've tried putting 127.0.0.1 localhost in my hosts-file sugested by an other thread to no avail.

The swedish text: "Objektreferensen har inte angetts till en instans av ett objekt." translates to "The objectreference hasn't been defined to an instance of an object"

The error still prevails in 1.0.1 with exactly the same messages in error.log
