Cannot connect to TV Service from Front end in Vista (1 Viewer)

[stephenk]

TV-Server Version: 1.0 RC4
MediaPortal Version: 1.0 RC4

I've done a fresh install and have found my channels, but when I go into "My TV" I am prompted to "Please specify the IP address or host name of the master TV service".

I have changed the tv server multiple times to move away from IPv6 to my network address, to even installing the Microsoft Loopback adapter, with no success.

However, running MediaPortal as admin works nicely

I post this as an intermediate tip, and also in the hope that someone will reply with (a link to ) information about de-restricting files so that vista will use the tv service properly.

(I hope I haven't broken the rules too much in not posting my IMO meaninless config for this problem )

I would not even consider running MP as a user, but it is possible as long as everything configured by admin account.

Even normal admin account can be a pain, thats why i always do this Make your Vista's admin account acts like in XP - Neowin Forums

Well i can reproduce this error if i insert the ipv6 adress in the tv-client options on windows 7. At moment i have the same problem. If i insert the name of the server it works but tooks a long time to load the plugins. When i configure the tv-client for use of the ipv4 address i don´t get any connection to the tv-server. I think one option is to deaktivate ipv6 in the adapter settings. I will test that and some other options because i don´t want to deaktivate ipv6. But this means the MediaPortal components are ipv6 compatible!

I can configure my server to stream on ipv4 but i have a fixed ipv4 on my adapter. Maybe you should try this too!
