Client not waking Server / LiveTV not working (1 Viewer)

[doveman]

I'm having problems with my multi-seat setup once again, as previously described here:
https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/...ter-resuming-server-standby-71140/index2.html

Note I'm currently using the default port 1100 and my "Delay for TV Card Detection" is set to 30 seconds. Powerscheduler plugins are enabled and configured on both server and client.

Firstly, most of the time MP client doesn't wake the server when starting. If I run a batch file containing the command below, my server comes on:
wolcmd MAC IP 255.255.255.255 7

MP client config shows the correct MAC address for my server.

Once MP has loaded, if I go to LiveTV and select a channel, after a long wait it says "Unable to play Stream2.0". TV server config shows that the selected channel is timeshifting and the relevant files have been created in the timeshifting folder (on a RAMdisk). Closing the client and restarting it doesn't help. Only manually restarting the TVService enables LiveTV to start.

Even after all that, changing channel results in a pause and then a frozen frame of the previous channel and no sound!

I've now tested with the TsReader.ax posted here: https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/...ision-24553-rar-75169/index24.html#post556618

and I'm no longer having problems with LiveTV. My server is now being turned on by the client as well, although I'd be surprised if that was anything to do with the TsReader.ax.

To me it sounds like DNS problems. Probably your dns server is your router and your pc supports ipv6 but your router does not. To test if this is the issue try configuring the ip of your server rather than machine name in MP configuration, that should (partially) solve it.
My guess is your current problem is only sometimes reproducible, so try the above when things don't work, and report back in this thread, then a more proper solution can be applied.

I presume you're just referring to the "Client not waking Server" part of my problem.

I've already got the IP address of the Server entered in the Client config TV section, so it doesn't look like that's the problem unfortunately.
