[no Bug] After Reboot no TV-Service (1 Viewer)

[Dandy]

I have a strange problem. After reboot of Windows 7 the tvservice starts without problems, but in tv.server configuration I do not see under "manual control" any cards. MP crashes if I start or hangs. If I manually restart the service all works fine. This is very inconvenient, Any clue where to look. I searched for 3 hours now and don't know where to continue looking.

TV Service has an option to wait a certain amount of seconds before detecting your cards.
I have never needed to use this feature, but for some cards it supposedly can help during start-up/resume.
I'm not sure if it will help,. but it is worth a try.

good luck!

In your logs, during TVService start-up:

2010-03-16 00:13:22.213493 [TVService(5)]: Controller: started at HansiHansen-PC
2010-03-16 00:13:22.215494 [TVService(5)]: Controller: local ip address:[COLOR=Red][B]169.254.189.31[/B][/COLOR]
2010-03-16 00:13:22.314499 [TVService(5)]: Controller: server running on HansiHansen-PC

but then later when you manually restart TVService:

2010-03-16 00:14:50.408928 [TVService(5)]: Controller: started at HansiHansen-PC
2010-03-16 00:14:50.408928 [TVService(5)]: Controller: local ip address:[B][COLOR=Red]192.168.2.100[/COLOR][/B]
2010-03-16 00:14:50.502528 [TVService(5)]: Controller: server running on HansiHansen-PC

169.254.189.31 is an auto configured IP address (which means it is assigned to the network card without consulting the DHCP server - i.e. your router). The second time the IP address (192.168.2.100) is assigned by your router.

I don't know your exact network configuration, but either it takes too long for your router to assign an IP address and as a result the IP address changes after TVService has initialized, or you have multiple network interfaces but your primary interface takes considerable time to come up so TVService initializes to listen on your other interface, but MP tries to connect to your primary interface. Adding a delay to TVService startup should solve your issue, but you should probably check your network configuration as there is probably something wrong there.

Edit: Just noticed you have P5W DH Deluxe, so you have 2 NICs. If you don't use your second NIC, disable it and see if it helps.

AW: After Reboot no TV-Service

No results,
Ideactivated all other LAN-connection, set the delay of TV-Service to 30 sec. No change. I always have to stop TV-Service and restart it than everything is ok. The ip-adress "169.254.189.31" in the log-file is not in my network. My network start with 192.168...... What could that be? I have no clue, maybe you could help? Thanks a lot

The IP address "169.254.189.31" is automatically assigned by Windows when it cannot find a DHCP server (i.e. your router). This may be because your router is not responding or responding too late, or you have some (software) firewall blocking the router's response.

You can try two things:

1. Disable all firewalls running on htpc
2. In SetupTV go to StreamingServer and change IP address from "auto" to 192.168.2.100
