[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1183457, member: 82144"] Did you also restart the TV Server after disabling? (Sorry, I should have said.) If a firewall prevented the streaming server from binding at TV Server startup, dropping the firewall won't help because the streaming server would still be down. You'd have to restart TV Server in order to bring the streaming server online. This would not be unusual. Many firewalls can set rules on a per-program basis. The RTSP command port is configurable. You can find the setting in TV Server Config -> streaming server. 554 is the default. However, the ports used to carry video and audio data are randomly chosen for each connection ([URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ephemeral_port']ephemeral[/URL]). Therefore I'm not able to specify those. Probably the only reasonable way to handle this situation is to configure the firewall to trust MediaPortal (ie. grant full access to your local network). Can you please supply logs from the server (Watchdog option 3) so I can check that the streaming server is actually running on the server side. [/QUOTE]
