[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1054648, member: 82144"] Hello and welcome mxD :) VLC is only able to connect to existing streams. Your later comments suggest you know that, but to confirm: you do have a channel timeshifting in MediaPortal or TV Server configuration, right? Have you checked out this info (refer to the "stream" bit)? [url]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/141_Configuration/TV-Server_Configuration/10_Streaming_Server[/url] It sounds like you either don't have the stream up on the server side, don't have the right stream number (ie. stream1.0 etc.), or have firewalls preventing the client from connecting to the server. Unless you actually start a new stream on the TV Server, all are stream1.0. VLC can only connect to existing streams. It cannot create new streams. Refer to the link above about the streaming server. The "some name" part is not intended for general human use; it [I]can[B] [/B][/I]be used for testing. VLC cannot easily be used as a MediaPortal front end replacement. On that note: is there a reason why you're using VLC instead of MediaPortal on these PCs? If you think MP is too "heavy" for what you need, have you considered MpTvClient? [url]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/forums/mptvclient-stand-alone-tv-client.262/[/url] ...or even MPExtended? MediaPortal tells TV Server to set up a stream using a .NET remoting connection. It then connects to the stream using RTSP. TV Server has an RTSP streaming server component that it manages. The stream name stuff is handled automatically when MediaPortal tells TV Server to start TV or change channel. It is not a common use case to need to connect to TV Server with VLC. Information [I]is[/I] given in the streaming server section for those that need to troubleshoot streaming. Otherwise the expectation is that people would use MP, XBMC or some other front end and never have to know or care about these URLs. mm [/QUOTE]
