Hello all you smart people out there. I'm in a real mess with MP2. As soon as I try to run the TV configuration software I get an error message which starts off "Failed to startup tvserviceSystem.Runtime.Remoting.RemotingException: Requested service not found........"etc.
I have a new Lenovo A570 which came pre-installed with AverMedia TV player. The player worked fine but the interface was terrible. I uninstalled it and installed MP2. (I used MP on a previous computer and it worked a treat.)
I see that logs have been produced but I have no idea what they mean.
Can anyone spare the time to give me a helping hand? I have very little technical experience.
Many thanks in advance

Yes, I'd like to get an answer to this as well.

I have been using MP for 6-7 years and now decided to give MP2 a spin. I just can not get my head around how to get the TV to work. Actually this is the only thing that matters to me. Everything else is secondary! I need to get the MP2 running with MP1 TvService TVE3. I think the documentation is lacking seriously in how to set this thing up.

Win7, MP 1.12, MPExtended is installed and running.

Did you uninstall MP1 beforehand? Otherwise you need to stop the TV service of MP1 manually before using MP2, because both can not actively coexist.
Also you write "MP1 TvService TVE3", are you trying to connect MP2 to MP1 server? There is a workaround, but I do not recommend trying it.

Hi, thanks for help.

Actually just after I wrote the post, I found the necessary info from another thread by Morpheus.
I'm running MP1 as daily driver and just trying out MP2. That's why I need to have the old TVE.

So after installing MP2, I removed the bundled TV server from MP2, removed slim native client plugin, and installed mpextended slim client plugin. Then configured it in MP2. Now I can watch TV in MP2. Cool.

Only thing is that it didn't find my recordings. Also the image quality was not the best when compared to MP1. And it kept skipping frames, prob because my machine is so slow (slowest AMD e350 system there is) and it just can't handle the IO.

Anyway, that was a nice try. MP2 has really got far in the recent year or so. I'll def revisit this later. Nice job by the devs. Keep up the good work!
