Hello,

Hopefully someone can help.

I have download the SVN and compiled it and can run the server and client. I am wondering how I now attatch the client to the server?

Regards,

Markus

    AW: How to use the current SVN version?

    Hi markus_g,
    in MediaPortal 2, we use the UPnP protocol for communication between client and server. In a LAN, the client should find the server automatically and display a dialog box which says something like "Found MediaPortal 2 server, would you like to attach to it?".
    If both components are started in the same LAN, it should work. If the client doesn't find the server, either the network is not configured correctly (maybe the switch doesn't forward the UPnP packets), the network is overloaded (the UDP packets drop away) or something else is wrong. If you don't get it running, please tell me your network configuration.

    What does that mean? What did you do and what didn't work? To download source via SVN you can google descriptions.

    When downloading it I get an error saying that the host dropped the connection or to similar description. My memory is a little flaky. Which in turns leaves me with an incomplete source.

    "downloading" - what does that mean?
    "it" - what does that mean?

    I haven't my crystal ball here at the moment.

    Please describe exactly what you did. Which tool do you use? Which URL do you use? See the descriptions in our Wiki how to get the current version.

    I had the same problem using TortoiseSVN. To get around it I just performed an SVN update a couple of times untill it had downloaded everything.
    Then future update have worked fine.

    Can I have the server and the client on the same pc or is this only in the future? Windows 7 64bit can see the client under Network and sharing centre but not the server.

    Can I have the server and the client on the same pc or is this only in the future? Windows 7 64bit can see the client under Network and sharing centre but not the server.
    The idea is that client and server both can be located everywhere in the local network, even on the same machine. I have them always running both on my Win7 64bit machine. Please run both in debug mode in Visual Studio and look at the console output. Are there any errors?

    using TortoiseSVN to get MP2, Still the same context as poster 1 hence "it".

    Ok, yes, I remember that I also had that error in the early days with our SVN server. I solved it the same way as Markus, SVN update until everything is there. SVN is quite robust against such kinds of problems.

    On the first checkout of the complete MP2 project these "connection errors" can happen (even though I've never encountered it "yet").
    Just keep pushing the "update" button in tortoisesvn until all is downloaded.

    I avoid touching that system as long as it runs. Now that 2.4.1 seems to run again, I probably wait for the next issue.

    That fixed the problem. I just manually installed VC_redist.x64.exe and reinstalled 1.32 64-bit. Thanks for that. A couple of things; the deployment tool for 1.32 doesn't remove the previous version when you're updating from 1.31 to 1.32 and "MediaPortal TV Server" gets installed even when you choose to install the client only.
