MediaPortal TV Client (Standalone) - Beta release (1 Viewer)

[dhanjel]

If you're using MySQL instead of SQL Server, copy your gentle.config from a media portal installation to the installation directory of the tv player and it should work (not tested though).

I can report that it works with MySQL using above mentioned method

Edit: After connecting to server I can select one channel and it displays OK, but after that I can't change channels. It shows EPG data bu there is no stream.

That's probably when they are on the same mux. I havn't found a solution for this yet. Any ideas are appreciated

I'm using analog PVR-150 as my TV card, just for information.

ehm I have a little problem. I installed the player. I entered the IP of my HTPC where the tv-server is running and also entered the path of vlc. after pressing ok nothing happens. if I open the player again it's saying that I started the player for the first time blabla...did this several times, but always the same. what am i doing wrong?

I suspect you may be on Vista.. I found I had to launch the program as an Adminstrator so it could write it's config.. Another wonderful UAC thing.

thanks for the info. now I was able to make the configuration.
Then I started the Player (as Admin again) and wanted to start streaming a channel. After a few seconds the Program crashes.
Are there any logs I can refer to?

Thanks for this.
Problems I have are that the deinterlacing options don't seem to work at all, and changing channel doesn't work it just stops and i have to select a channel again for it to work.
Just an update, I just installed the latest VLC 0.9.9 and now when I start a channel it starts and then crashes, it has this message;

hmm i also have the newest version installed on the system. maybe this is the problem?!

YESS! Great program! Works perfect for me!

Is it possible to release a version without installation needs?
Only copy files in a folder?

 

[dhanjel]

Uhm it seems to be problems with the latest release of vlc, I will try to find information about this. Problem is that I didn't create the VLC component, need to to some Google'ing when I have some spare time.

All source code is available at codeplex if anyone else want's to look in to it.

This looks really good, is it Windows oly or will it work with OSX too?
