[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1140740, member: 82144"] Thanks (y) The log files confirm what I suspected: TV service is not running properly due to a mismatch between your PC's current IP address and/or hostname and what TV Server was expecting it to be. You can fix this either by changing the PC's name back to what it was before, or by manually editing the contents of the TV Server database Server table. Instructions for the second option with a MySQL database: [LIST=1] [*]Open a Windows command prompt (XP: click start -> run -> type "cmd" -> press enter; Vista/7: click start -> type "cmd" -> press enter; 8: go to start screen -> type "cmd" -> press enter). [*]Navigate to the bin subfolder within your MySQL install directory. For example [I]cd "c:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\bin"[/I]. The " (x86)" part may need to be dropped depending on whether your versions of Windows and MySQL are 64 bit or not. The "5.1" part may need to be modified depending on what version of MySQL you have installed. [*]Type [I]mysql.exe -u root -D MpTvDb -p[/I] and press enter. If you chose a different name for the database during TV Server setup then use that instead of MpTvDb. [*]The previous step should have resulted in a password prompt. Type the password for the MySQL root user (or whichever user you selected) and press enter. The default root user password for MySQL installed by MediaPortal is [I]MediaPortal[/I] ([B]case sensitive[/B]). [*]Type [I]UPDATE Server SET hostName = '<your IP address or PC name here>' WHERE idServer = 1; [/I]and press enter. Replace <your IP address or PC name here> as instructed. Note the trailing semicolon (; ) is important. [*]Type \q and press enter to quit the MySQL shell. [*]Close the command prompt. [*]Restart the TV service. If you don't know how to do this, just restart the PC. [*]TV Server should now be working again. :) [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
