    Maybe dense or lazy or both, but haven't found an answer.
    I seem to have the same question posted in https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/...-player-registered-to-play-media-item.134263/ , which has no replies.

    Leaving my working MP 1.3 installation completely alone, I installed a new, smallish SSD, new install of W7, new tuner driver, and the 'Spring of 16' MP2.
    Tvserver export/import worked perfectly, and 'test channels' and 'manual control' appear to work fine.
    But when I go to the MP -> TV -> list of channels, and click any channel, I get the spinning wheel and then a message stating 'no player registered to play media item 'liveX-Y.ts.tsbuffer.
    I have searched the documentation and the forum. From http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/2_.../3_Concepts/Player_Subsystem?highlight=player , it appears that I need to load a 'tv player plugin????. Yes? What, how, and WHERE is it?

    Thank you.

    Hi,

    I'm really not sure, but don't want to end it up into an empty thread.

    First I recommend to install the latest snapshot, it's stable and contains a lot of bug fixes and updates.
    https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/mediaportal-2-weekly-snapshot-2016-08-20.134986/

    There is no need to install something additionally. Do you have parts of mp1 installed in parallel? if so, you need to stop the server before running mp2.
    Last but not least, we would need your log files for more details, otherwise we can only guess.

    Nothing in parallel. MP1 is on one boot disk; MP2 is on a separate boot disk, No overlap.

    The link I referenced above states:
    "Players are implemented by plugins; there are no player implementations in the core MediaPortal 2 system."
    Is that flat out wrong?
    If not, I do not understand "There is no need to install something additionally."

    The TVE3.0 that comes with MP2 is a plugin, no additional players need to be added. I've never added something manually.
    But you seem to have a problem, so as mentioned your log files are necessary, otherwise we can speculate for days, but will never know the reason.

    OK, thanks -- assume I should be able to see that in TVserver -> plugins (?).
    I'll check, and post logs.

    Just a double click on "MediaPortal 2 LogCollector" on your desktop and upload the logs here.

    TVE3.0 does not show up in TVserver > Plugins, if that means anything.
    Logs attached.
    Thanks for looking into this.

    (again -- TVserver > manual control seems to be working,)

    You'll see that as of 2016-11-13 15:01:06,693, I had not mapped channels to cards, but at
    2016-11-13 15:07:17,665, I had.

    You want to watch a ATSC channel but you never have told the TVEngine what tuner is able and allowed to tune to this channel. So the system could not find any tuner to receive this channel and you don't get any signal....

    As you are a user of MP1 you definitely should know how to configure TV as this is done exactly as in MP1. If you would start MP1 without configuring TV you will get exactly the same error...

    If you need help setting up TV (as told it is exactly as in MP1) you can look at the wiki or in this thread:

    I think you didn't map your channels to the tuner, you have to do that in TvSetup (same would be for MP1, there is no difference).

    Channels are clear QAM, and they are mapped to both tuners.
    "You want to watch a ATSC channel but you never have told the TVEngine what tuner is able and allowed to tune to this channel. So the system could not find any tuner to receive this channel and you don't get any signal...."​
    I don't believe this is the case.

    You may have looked at the wrong part of the logs -- as I mentioned above. Here's a part AFTER I had mapped the channels to cards at 15:07:17,665: from MP2-Server > ServerError

    I have been completely through TVsetup, including importing channels, etc from MP1. I'll look again to see if I missed something - which is very possible.
