I have the server with a client working on my master htpc but I just can't get a client in my bedroom to work at all. I've tried to change to a different port and I added the server to the host file on the master pc but still not tv stream on the client. Anyone have any idea what I'm missing?
Cannot connect to TV Server (2 Viewers)

Hey LeeZee,
I had no end of trouble but, for me, it all came down to the host file entries. Try adding both the server and client ip address/name to both files, so essentially both should look identical.. make sure your mysql ip address is the same as your server and you have your server set to its ip address and not on auto. On the client side assign ths tv server as the name i.e. I have mine named TVSERVER, and not the ip address of the server. My biggest hassle has been the reassignment of my server over ip as it is running over WiFi and assigned via DHCP, but just occasional tweaking required after some router reboots.
Keep in touch happy to help you through this mate!
Hey buddy thanks for the reply, Im not the sharpest tool with this stuff so let me explain what i think you mean and you can correct me if wrong.
Ok so host files on client pcs and servers should have my server ip 192.168.1.100 and my client 192.168.1.103 added to the end of the host files. In a previous post i read it had said to put the ip plus sever1 (192.168.1.100 server1)??
Im unsure where to set the mysql ip, is that the streaming server setting.
Thanks the e hand through this difficukt time.

Forget the MySQL ip for now.
My host files look like the following. You will need to edit to reflect your own settings:
# Copyright (c) 1993-2009 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host
# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
# 127.0.0.1 localhost
# ::1 localhost
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.2.3 TVSERVER
192.168.2.4 Farrells-PC
BTW, exactly what error are you getting?
Seems like its connecting but doesn't show any channels or epg but I don't have the epg working on the server yet so that might be the issue there. The client on the same pc as the server is displaying channels ok.
Seems like something has changed as now when I open the TVserver config Setup database connection is coming up but it is unable to connect to the MYSQL5.

Update both your server and client to 1.2.2.. test and report back...
