Lost Connection to TV-Server (1 Viewer)

[raschid]

Good morning,

i've been trying to use MP 1.4.0 for a while now but i allways run in trouble with the TV-Server.
It doesn't work correctly.
Yesterday, after deinstall of MP and reinstall of TV-Card-Drivers i installed NextPVR and it worked fine.
I deinstalled NextPVR, installed MP, started the TV-Server-Config - all worked fine, i managed to watch liveTV.
Now today i get the same strange Error as before:

Failed to startup tvserviceSystem.Net.Sockets.SocketException

It says, that the host-Computer refuses connection on 192.xxx.xxx.xxx:31456

What Port is that?

Can anyone help?

And: i read most of the Posts regarding TV-Servers and i did NOT do a windows update since i reinstalled MP

I use
- Win 7 ultimate, 64Bit
- MP 1.4.0
- Digital Devices Cine CT

The logfile:

Good morning...

Hello

Failed to startup tvserviceSystem.Net.Sockets.SocketException

It says, that the host-Computer refuses connection on 192.xxx.xxx.xxx:31456

31456 is the MySQL database port.

Two questions:

1. Are you running a firewall? If so please try disabling it temporarily and see if it helps.
2. Have you set up TV Server with a static IP address? This is highly recommended.

Just to be clear, this error message indicates TV Server is not handling the network configuration/environment. It is no reflection on whether your tuners are working correctly or not.

thanks mm1352000,

turning off the firewall is exactly what i'm trying in this very moment.
So, mhm, 31456 is mysql's port?
Then i probably should take a look into the workbench? I try that next.

The Server (PC) has a static IP. But probably its a problem with local and network-ips? I installed mysql before MP and i remember there can be some problems ...[DOUBLEPOST=1379501771][/DOUBLEPOST]mhm, the workbench says mysql-port is 3306 ...

 

[mm1352000]

mhm, the workbench says mysql-port is 3306 ...

Sorry, you're right - don't know what I was thinking. It has been a long day. (11pm here in New Zealand)

31456 is the port that TV Server uses for .NET remoting. That is the communication technology used between the MP client/frontend and TV Server.

 

[raschid]

ok,
- i switchet off firewall - no change
- switched it on and applied

netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name=SQLPort_31456 dir=out action=allow protocol=TCP localport=31456
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name=SQLPort_31456 dir=in action=allow protocol=TCP localport=31456

Windows answered "ok" to both but still no change, even after reboot
- updated .NET via windows update, unchecking update for malware detection tool - no change even after reboot
- deinstalled MP and reinstalled with "all on one PC"-option: TV-server works fine, managed to watch live TV
- after reboot i get the same errors "TV Server not started" and "connection blocked for ip ...:13456"

wtf? does anyone have an explanation for that behaviour? Please?

 

[Vasilich]

already checked this port with TCPView? Do you have any other software blocking file execution/network connections (any antivirus with some enhanced/nasty features, some monitoring tools, other .net applications )?

 

[raschid]

I have no antivir-software so far, only windows firewall.
Twonky server was running, but i deinstalled it now.
I use Uniserver as Webserver. It comes with build-in mysql database. Mysql-connections seem to be ok.

further software installed is 7zip, xmediarecode, hwinfo64, irfanview, win7codecs, mp3tags and mysqlworkbench.
No .Net-software, as far as i can see.

I connect to the PC via windows remotedesktop. Both PCs are in the same (home)-Lan.


This is, what TCPView shows when I try to start the TV-Server-Config

[DOUBLEPOST=1379584997][/DOUBLEPOST]mhm, another question: the blocked IP is 192.168.178.250 under which i can access for instance the webserver from another client.
Can it be, that this should be a local IP like 127... ?

 

[Vasilich]

try to disable IPv6 and try again. i have some suspects..

P.S. what have you put into TV server filed? server name or IP address?

 

[raschid]

I deactivated IPV6 in the Router (it wasn't in use anyway) and on the windows-pc via adapter-config.
After reboot everything seems to work ok, except the tv server... same error again

which suspects do you mean?
