How to for installing MP on WHS 2011 (1 Viewer)

[Kemik]

Hi,

I'm very new to MP so wondered if anyone knows of a how-to guide on installing MP on WHS 2011?

If not can anyone give me some high level pointers. For example what version I should install 1.4 or MP 2 Alpha 2?

I also have Sat tuner cards in my WHS that I'm hoping to utilise so would need to know what else on top of MP if anything I need to enable the live TV /record, etc capabilities

Thanks in advance

Hi Kemik, take a look at this thread. https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/...ediaportal-on-windows-2008-r2-x64-only.81774/

MP2 is still on Alpha, so don't use it for an productive System. Stay on 1.4.

Thanks will use 1.4.
Looking at the thread you gave me a link to its talking about Windows Server 2008 and by the end of the thread Windows 2012. Is this still relevant for Windows Home Server 2011 then? I'm a little confused.

Hi, thats because Windows Home Server has as base the Windows Server 2008 R2. There should be no big differences between 2008 and 2012.
The most important things to do are: copying the needed bda Drivers from a Windows Desktop System and enabling some Desktop funtionalities which are described in the thread.
I made this one time for a Server 2012, and this worked well.

Whs2011 needs no DVB hacking. Install your tv card and mepo, that is all you need.

Bumping this thread. Trying to install Tvserver 1.4 on WHS2011 with my two FloppyDTV-cards. Problem is that they are not even visible in device manager, so the setup program can't fin them. Changed to the legacy driver, tried the BDA hacks but nothing.

Is there a problem with firewire and 64-bit whs?

Not as fas as i know. Had 2 FloppyDTV Cards running fine on WHS2011. Again; no BDA hacking needed. Might be issue with you firewire card or
the tv cards. What does their led tell? Green?

Stupid me, found out there was a onboard firewire port, no wonder it didn´t work with the pci-card.

Anyway, got the driver loaded and cards recognized in device manager. But now MP TV-server can´t find them. Maybe all the BDA hacking wrecked my server...

Using the legacy firewire driver, right?
