When I first installed MP on the server and client, LiveTV didn't work on the client and I found that in TV Server config, the streaming port was set to 0 (even though the text said default 554) and 3rd party checks said port 0 was already bound. So I changed the port to 554 and then the client started working.
Then later it wasn't working anymore and the third-party check said port 554 was already bound (although my firewall and netstat show nothing listening on that port), so I changed it back to port 0, which still didn't work and then back to 554, whereupon 3rd party checks showed that it was available and LiveTV on the client started working again. 3rd party checks still shows port 554 as available when it's all working, so there's obviously a problem that caused it to be bound and unavailable but I don't know what that might be.
I've attached the logs from the server but I couldn't see anything in them that really helps much.
