yup, it's fixed! running the TV server SVN on the client did the job.
now this may seem like a stupid error on my part - and maybe it is - but I think it would help if the description in the weekly SVN package would be made clearer (TV_Server_And_Client_Plugin_weekly_package) instead of TV_server_weekly_plugin because for users with a dedicated server (no client) it is not clear that you need to to apply a server package to update part of the client.
it's not stated in the SVN publication, and also not in the WIKI.
or you could move the plugin alotgether to the client package.
Roy, thanks a lot for helping out!
I got caught out with this as well.... more than once actually lol
But you are right, there is no clear documentation to explain this....
