No picture on remote client pc (5 Viewers)

I had issues with the last few SVN's with the same symptoms. There have been some issues with the TSreader registering correctly.
I just stayed on revision 18080 which works perfectly for me. A few others have mentioned this as well as the most stable out of recent revisions.

Have you taken a look in the log files to see what seems the issue?

Yes, i can see everything on the client, channels, epg, streams, recordings, i can even start a recording, but not playit back. Im actually using the express manager from the client did not install it on the server (the client is my work laptop - i work in s/w development mainly desktop applications)

i will check the version you mentioned and let you know. thanks

120dpi is a fontsize setting.. it should be left default (on 96 dpi) ..

What you could try is how its working in my network ..
you have a working tv server.. leave it alone..

now..clientsetup.. install mediaportal final 0.2.3.0
svn from 20-03 for mediaportal..
and use the clientplugin from the tvserver build from 20-03..
I would be rather suprised if that is not working for you......

Where do i find the fontsize? looked in the MP config, couldn't find it?

Now i installed 0.2.3.0 final + SVN 18195 [both MP & TV3] but only on the client pc .. still the same thing. I really dont think it's a rev issue, can it be a codec issue? can i check the stream on the client with something like vlc to make sure that its passing through ok?

thanks all for your patience and help

If this shows anything bar normal, no video will show, check in advanced that everything set correctly as well.

PD: everything like in your screenshot, font is set to normal.

I attached the logs from MP. When looked at the TsReader.log, i noticed these lines:

I'm guessing that this is where the problem is. I tried taking this link [rtsp://htpc1/stream1.0] and running it through vlc (while having the server start timeshifting of one of the channels) but nothing played. I then tried to run the ts file directly into vlc, it played with no problem ...

i closed all my firewalls..

did you actually run all updates..
it could be something stupid like you dont have windows mediaplayer 10 or 11 ? (default on xp is 9) ..
10 is a prerequisite for mediaportal ?

download & replace StreamingServer.dll in "Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal TV Server" Folder(remember to stop/kill TVServer first. Seems like a bug has sneaked in during filter movement.

have you tried changing channels after you applied the dll ?
It could take 1 or 2 channel changes to work properly..

Otherwise I really have no clue at the moment
