Heya Cam

c:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\gentle.config has somehow been corrupted.
Replace it with c:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal TV Server\gentle.config and you should be good to go again.

P.S. I see you've updated to MP 1.16 PR. Don't forget to install the patch from -->here<--. It's still needed.

Hey MM1352000,
Ran into another snag. The next time I tried to use the live TV it did the same thing. I might be having computer issues??
So I messed around for a few hours trying to get the thing to connect in ver 1.16.0, it shows up on my computer that is a dedicated TV server, showing that that computer was tuning the channel.
I have one other computer doing the same thing, so not just this computer.

So I uninstall MP completely restarted the computer. I installed a lower ver just to test and it does the same thing.
Can it be a windows 10 setting blocking the stream from the TV server??

Cam, the gentle.config file is copied from server to client at certain times. From your description it sounds like you may be running multiple TV Server installations. If yes, perhaps one of them has a corrupted gentle.config file?

Since I have a dedicated TV server, should I copy from c:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal TV Server\
to c:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\ on the TV Server? Because....

Since your last post, I installed client only on the other computer and it still same problem.

Finally got it working..
Uninstalled all MP again, cleaned registry with ccleaner, restarted computer this time made sure the firewall was on, installed client only
when it asked for firewall permission I checked both private and public.
Does any of this make sense to you?
Thanks for your help!!

Well I got one working, I am changing the installs on all my PC's to client only
I am having trouble again connecting to the tv server, I did all the steps above the same way and still won't connect.
In MediaPortal Configuration TV/Radio I test for connection and it is good (connected)
I noticed in client only install there is no My sql or gentle.config
