Hello,

after upgrading im getting a message asking me to change specify the IP address of the TV server.
THe system works fine and live tv works. After i hit escape and continue to what i was doing, there are no more errors. This is mainly after i first start up media portal.

I am attaching my log from the client. Other pc's work fine, its just this one particular machine. A re-install would probably fix it, but i want to avoid that if it all possible.

    I'm getting a similar issue, but thought I'd wait out a few more weeks, as it isn't my HTPC. Each time I start MP 1.5 on my client, I get a TV Server lost message. I just go to TV Guide, get the select server screen and re-select the server (which is already noted correctly). Then MP operates normally. A bit of a pain, but I use that client for mostly other stuff, so I just didn't follow-up.

    So it seems the connection to the 'target' machine was actively refused.
    Maybe firewall settings?

    This has only been since updating to 1.5 from 1.4 on the client and server, firewall should not have been changed. It is not refused when I re-select the TV-Server manually, then functions normally from there, also I do not get the error when starting MP from watchdog with "report a bug to Team Mediaportal" selected, with no changes in firewall settings..

    confused.

    Maybe a hiccup in the LAN initiation?
    I know from recent PowerScheduler changes, that my GUI responsiveness changed from <10 seconds to about 4 minutes, and PS was integrated in 1.5.

    The server is running 24/7 or does that need to be woken up also?
