Let me start by asking if anyone has TV Server running PROPERLY on a Windows 10 machine, and if so are you using RTSP or UNC share mode?
I've been reading forum posts for hours now and have only seen a couple of people who finally got it to work but only in the advanced UNC mode.
I had TV Server running on a Windows 7 virtual machine on my home server for a long time. Worked fine (RTSP mode). Needed more horses under the hood, so I set up a physical I7 machine running Windows 10 Pro x64 and moved everything to that.
TV Server configs are identical and working (all tuner / record tests work, channel config and mapping is perfect, rights to folders are correct and work). As with all other similar cases in the forums here, an MP client on-server works, but nothing can connect properly or work outside of the server box.
I've disabled IP6, Windows Firewall, Windows Defender, and my AV software on the server and my test client to no avail. In MediaPortal Configuration on the client, I get a green success when I test the connection. When the client is fired up, guide data is populated, and I attempt to tune a TV channel and it times out with "Lost connection to tv server", followed by the "some ports seem to be blocked" dialog. UNC mode results in the same thing.
The werid thing is, most times the tune command gets to the server and gets executed before the client decides that the server no longer exists. The server actually puts up the stream for the client to ingest. I can even access that RTSP stream using VLC from the client machine while MP says it can't connect.
I.T. is part of my job, so I'm pretty good at tracking down issues, and this one has me nearly stumped. I'm guessing that it's some kind of hidden "feature" in Windows 10 that isn't deactivating (how far you've fallen, Microsoft) or a weird issue in the network stack, but both server and client have no other issues with network/internet access or speeds.
Feeling like I need to (try) to install a dusty copy of Win 7 on this server to see if everything suddenly works.
