When I try to start the TV within my Media Portal 2, the following error comes up "Error invoking action StarTimeshift". Any solution? The logs are attached. Btw I am using a VPN

    The plugin is not getting initialized in time and doesn't start.You can try to manually restart the MP2 Server Service in Windows Services. A simple check to see if the service is correctly running, is to launch the TV Configuration.

    Some people have solved this by setting the server start type to "Delayed".

    hm, weird. it can't access the file because its in use by another process... Wonder what that other one is. Can you try excluding the recording folder of all background processes?

    Thank you for this tip! I'm moving MP TV Server to a new machine. I installed the 64-bit version and most of the MP firewall rules were set to Public. I couldn't connect to the new TV Server from my old single-seat installation running 32-bit until I changed all MP-related firewall rules on the new machine to Private. Before I did...
