No image with TV-client (1 Viewer)

[3dcoder]

Hi folks!

I have a strange probelm with Media Portal, or more specifically with the TV-client. I got TV Server working and everything works fine with the TV Server machine and with client A, which is running Media portal 0.2.3. I would like to use TV also on my IBM thinkpad, lets call it client B.

Problem is that I get no TV image on the client B, my laptop.

It connects to TV-server, loads program guide, channels list and when I turn on the TV, everything I get is a blank screen. Some data is actively transferred and Media Portal shows, that it's streaming from TV Server. But still no picture.

As you can see in the following picture, stream is perfectly received:

My laptop has ATi mobility Radeon 7500 and it's running Windows XP MCE SP2. The GFX card is really unpowered, but it still handles MPEG2 streams, such as recorded TV-programs and Media Portal Plays local movie files as well as those from the network location.

I have tried re-installing MP and different SVN build, but they all have the same problem. Also changing video decoder from FFDShow to MPV Decoder didn't help...

Any general advice is appreciated!

I have also the same problem... Any idea? Is this just a newbie mistake or a bug?

Chances are that the Graphics cannot handle both MP running and the live TV, as i have not got one to test, unfortunately it's down to you guys to give over all your machine specifications and MP\TVServer logs, to give a more factual answer.

ps. use the testool2 found in the Mediaportal folder unless things have changed, need to do some updating myself.

Thanks
