Server configuration crashes after a week (1 Viewer)

[Hw00d]

When running 1.8 after a week w/out issues, I lose TV functionality, Says "No free card available", so trying to get into the servers config setup all I get is this :

(TVserver error.png)
MP runs fine but TV part comes up "no free card". I went as far as formatting the drive and put new OS back on it, re-install MP 1.8 and does great for about a week or so then the TV server goes all VB script on me when going to config.
Happened to me as well running 1.7 couple 3 months ago. Checked file in system32/Drivers/etc folder, both lines were there but REM'd out (*), so removed the astriks , but still same effect. Have included debug log and setup, anybody w/ info is muchly appreciated, I've gotten hooked on MP
Thanks

Hello and welcome Hw00d

It looks like your server's IP address is changing, and that throws TV Server for a spin.

To fix, please configure the PC that TV Server is install on with a static IP address.

To avoid a reinstall, make the static IP address match the address that the PC had when TV Server was installed. Alternatively, use MySQL Workbench or similar to edit the contents of the TV Server database Servers table and match the IP address there with the one that you choose.

Regards,
mm

MM -- I too have my TV-Service 'crash' periodically... My client in the bedroom gives me a popup about being unable to play a stream... yet my HTPC client (sharing the same PC as the server) will do fine! I can detect something is arye since TV-Service will be hogging 25% CPU in Task Manager. Simply stopping and restarting TV-Service fixes it until next time! I'll send logs when I get home... just wanted to share.

Here's the issue:

[2014-08-21 00:02:15,791] [ c99efe8] [ eec] - Failed to get a SDP description from URL rtsp://Theater-PC:554/stream3.0 Failed to read response: No error

Please check your firewall configuration on the client and server.

Completely up to you. If you do go to 1.9 you should do it on both client and server.
