    Hi!
    I got the TV server working (on 2nd PC), and got acknowledge that its connected from client (1st PC)"Connected to TvServer".
    It also seems to download EPG just fine.
    But when trying to start TV MP stops "Not responding".

    Regards,
    /Tomas

    Hi,

    I have the same problem. The server seems to be set up correctly on a dedicated computer but I cannot connect to it from Media Portal client. Have you tried connecting to the stream with VLC player? I can't get that to work either. I can play the .ts timeshifting buffer though as well as recorded mpg files. My log file is identical to yours so I think we have the same problem.

    Regards
    Stefan

    1. open gentle.config on the tvserver
    its in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\MediaPortal TvServer

    2. search for the line which contains DataSource="......";

    3. fill in the ipadress of the tvserver so it becomes DataSource="tvserverip";

    4. restart the service
    5. try the client

    at a guess you need to change the following.
    <DefaultProvider name="SQLServer" connectionString="data source=127.0.0.1;initial catalog=Test;user id=xxx;password=xxx;packet size=4096" /> -->

    And instead of 127.0.0.1 which is the local machine put in the address of the server you are wanting to connect to


    Thanks frodo!

    I changed the ip of the Data Source that was not commented out, but that didn't help. In my case I don't believe the problem is with the SQL server since I can't even get video to play over VLC.

    Tompa, have you checked if you can get video to play in VLC?

    That was also one of my guesses, but it did not help. But must check the firewall again! I did disabled it, but have seen that it in some times comes back after restart of PC.

    Tompa, have you checked if you can get video to play in VLC?

    No I have not tried VLC yet, will try that later.

    Thanks for your help!
    Il keep on trying!

    Nightmare77: Don't have firewalls enabled inside the local network so that can't be it. Also I get the same error when trying to start VLC locally on the same computer as the TV server. Seems there is something wrong with the stream itself.

    Tompa: I get the same result as you do. A second or so of sound and no video. A few times I have gotten a black video screen but only on occation.
