[QUOTE="ITSPecialist, post: 1226023, member: 161719"] Hey guys, I just found the problem and think it coul be helpful for others to share the solution: The sytem running the MePo 2 Server is reachable from all other systems in my network, but as told above in the "MediaPortal 2 TV Configuration" I only have the option to use "auto" or "127.0.0.1" as the IP address used by the server for RTSP streaming. So I tried different things and finally found out that the hostname of the server doesn't get resolved to the IP correctly - but onyl on the machine itself. All other systems resolved the hostname to the correct ip-address. This made me looking at the hosts file on my server where I found a line like this: 127.0.0.1 *hostnameofmyserver* # LMS GENERATED LINE I deleted this line and did a reboot of the server. After that the MedPo server still was not visible to other clients. Looking at the hosts file agian I had to see that the line was back again. I then google the "LMS GENERATED LINE" and found out that this line is generated by the "Intel Active Management Technology (AMT)". I disabled AMT in the BIOS, unistalled the software and removed the corresponding entry from the hosts file again - and from now on the MePo 2 Server works as expected and is also visible to all my systems in the network.
