[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 799507, member: 82144"] Hi Shadowless There are several ways of getting streaming working. For a PC, the best approach is probably to install MP with the "client-only" option on that PC and point MP to your existing TV Server. That will allow you to use the complete functionality of MP on that computer without a second TV Server. If you're just wanting to do a quick test then VLC will work: 1. Start timeshifting or recording the channel that you want to view in MediaPortal on the server. You have to do this because VLC is not able to tell MP to start streaming a channel. 2. Open TV Server configuration. 3. Go to the "streaming server" section and note what is in the "stream" column. 4. Open VLC on the other PC. 5. Select file -> open URL. 6. Enter rtsp://<host name or IP address of TV Server>:554/<stream column entry>. Example: rtsp://myTvServerName:554/stream2.0. 7. Click play. Of course you need to make sure that firewalls don't prevent VLC from accessing the network. mm [/QUOTE]
