[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1268243, member: 82144"] Okay. Yes, I agree. The ability to access shares shows that the link between the machines is okay. I would further add that the log files show that the tune request from the remote client also makes it to the TV Server no problem. The issue is specifically around either the client's ability to access the stream from the server, or the server's ability to provide the stream to the client. Thanks. By the way, do you remember whether the log files you previously collected were with firewalls off or on? If you don't remember, or if the log files were collected with firewalls on, would you mind collecting new log files with firewalls off after the restart? To be honest I don't fully understand the implications of this as I don't spend a whole lot of time dealing with Windows networking. However I think it's probably fine. One additional test you could do is to try to view the TV stream on the remote client using other software: [LIST=1] [*]On the TV Server machine: [LIST=1] [*]Open TV Server Configuration. [*]Go to the "manual control" section. [*]Select a channel that you know works, and click "start timeshifting". [*]Click "open log directory" (top left corner). [*]Leaving TV Server Configuration open in the background, find and open "streaming server.log" from the list of files in the new window using your preferred text editor (notepad, wordpad etc.). [*]Navigate to the end of the file, then search upward for the last instance of a line containing "Stream server: url for stream is rtsp://...". [/LIST] [*]On the remote client: [LIST=1] [*]Download and install [URL='https://www.videolan.org/vlc/']VLC[/URL]. (You're welcome to try different software if you're more familiar with or prefer something else. I only suggest VLC because it is fairly well known, reliable, and free, and I know it supports RTSP streams.) [*]Run VLC. [*]Click "media" -> "open network stream". (I'm using an older version of VLC, so it's possible that the menu labels have changed a little.) [*]Enter the "rtsp://..." URL from step 6 above. [*]Click play, and see whether it works. [/LIST] [/LIST] Hope the above idea and instructions are clear. If not, don't hesitate to ask. [/QUOTE]
