How to get the status of the TvServer Cards via SOAP?

Spoiler

Call http://<your hostname>:8080/TvServiceWebServices.asmx/GetTvServerStatus in your browser and you get an xml file like this

<ArrayOfWebTvServerStatus>

<cardName>USB 2.0 BDA DVB-S Tuner</cardName>
<cardType>1</cardType>
<cardTypeStr>DvbS</cardTypeStr>
<status>0</status>
<statusStr>idle</statusStr>
<idChannel>0</idChannel>
<channel/>
<userName/>
<recordingFolder>D:\MediaPortal\ServerRecordings</recordingFolder>
<timeshiftFolder>D:\MediaPortal\Timeshift</timeshiftFolder>
</WebTvServerStatus>

Hello,

In addition to the guide at (basically saying how to include REGULAR MePo logs...
https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/mpwebservices-463/readme-before-posting-new-thread-how-77173/

What specific stuff from the MPWebServices directory, or elsewhere should be included as well when reporting errors or problems?

Thanks!

Here's one for the OP:
VLC is unable to open the MRL
There are many causes of this. What follows is the initial list of solutions:
1) Verify that your Streaming URL as found on the WebServer tab of the MediaPortalWebServices configuration page matches the
address of your TV Server OR, if you are using your WAN IP, make sure wrote it down correctly
2) Verify that the address has no strange characters. This may happen if you have been experimenting around with different IP addresses. For example, perhaps
you added a backslash on the end of the IP. http://192.0.0.1 is different than http://192.0.0.1/
The one with the / is incorrect and would result in the error message.

If you have any more reproducible solutions, please post so gemx can add to the OP, thanks!
