Moved tuner to 2nd PC, can't get TV working on 1st PC/client (1 Viewer)

[doveman]

I've connected my USB tuner to my 2nd PC, due to having some building work and got MP installed and working on that. I want to be able to access TV on the 1st PC, which is what MP's been running on up till now, so in MP config I point it to the address of the 2nd PC (192.168.1.66) and Test Connection works but when I try and start TV it gives me an error about being unable to find the .ts file. The EPG is empty as well (on the 1st PC/Client, on the 2nd PC it's fully populated).

I'm actually using the loopback device so the server is using 192.168.2.1 but obviously I can't point to that from the 1st PC/client so I assume 192.168.1.66 is the correct address to use.

I notice the log shows
tvhome:startplay: waiting for TS file \\X3\I\TimeShiftTV\live5-0.ts.tsbuffer

there's no \\X3\I\TimeShiftTV. The folder is TimeShiftTV on the server's I: partition but the sharename is just \\X3\TimeShiftTV so I don't know why it's added the partition letter in there.

Use of loopback adaptor for the server means you can't do multi-seat.

Aha, thanks that explains it then I'll change it it and try again.

 

[doveman]

Hmm, still having the same problems after eliminating the loopback adapter

I saw this in the Wiki so I changed the paths using debugoptions http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_...MediaPortal_Configuration/22_TV/Debug_Options

Now some channels work but others don't and the EPG is still blank.

 

[mm1352000]

There are 18 channel changes in your logs. It is more than a little time consuming to work through all of those, not to mention it is guess work without server logs.
So how about supplying the server logs and describing exactly what you did and saw?

 

[doveman]

Ah, sorry. I got an error on the 2nd channel I tried, BBC Two, about "unable to tune channel" or some-such (I'll check exactly).

I'm having a problem with MP on the server at the moment, so the logs from that are attached here if you don't mind getting them from there to save me posting them twice. https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/mp-crashed-now-wont-load.118739/#post-991198

I'll add some more logs there in a bit, just resizing the partition to avoid running out of space again!

 

[doveman]

I've had to reinstall MP to get it to load on the Server. It detected TV Server was installed so only installed the client on the Server machine. I found that several channels (including BBC Two) were not mapped to my 2nd tuner, only the 1st one, so thought that might explain that problem but after fixing that I still get the same error on the client trying to start BBC Two, despite it working fine on the Server.

I've now uninstalled TV Server and MP and reinstalled to clear up some problems on the server but the Client still has the same problems.

 

[doveman]

OK, now that the server PC install seems to be OK, I've tested the client PC again and still have the same problems of no EPG data and Unknown Error when trying to tune BBC TWO.

I first tested on the Server PC, BBC One then BBC Two.

Then on the Client PC I tested BBC One, then BBC Two then Ch4 and CH4+1 and then BBC Two again finally.

 

[doveman]

Anyone got any ideas?
