I have recently for the first time ever installed a TV-server. Everything is on a new clean Windows, and I'm running both server and client on the same machine. I get everything to work, including TV (at least the DVB-T. Having problems with switching between analog/digital), but when I enable the PowerScheduler Client I get the following error message from MP:

2008-09-18 20:10:32.343750 [ERROR][MPMain]: Unable to start plugin:MediaPortal.Plugins.Process.PowerSchedulerClientPlugin exceptionystem.Net.WebException: Unable to connect to the remote server ---> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it

So, it seems like the client cannot properly connect to the remote (?) server. MP works fine with PS enabled but it will not go to sleep (S3) or wake up automatically. With the remote I can turn off and on without problems. I have both client and server PS set on suspend after 10 min. Does anyone understand the error message or where I should start digging? As digital TV works the client apparently is capable of connecting to the server sometimes...

I'd be very grateful for some help!

Hello. I have exactly same problem. Did you find solution?

XP SP3+MP RC3

My error log:

EDIT:
Ok, the solution is simple, just enable powersheduler plugin inside TV Server.

Same problem, same errors to me...

 

[mrspock]

Still the same error

I have also have the same problem and exactly the same error in error.log.

I have WXPSP3 + MP1.0 final + TVserver, with both Power Scheduler Client plugin in MediaPortal Configuration and Power Scheduler in TVServer Configuration enabled.

Help needed, please!

 

[Diddip]

Also have the same problem and the same error messages in the error.log file.

Both Client and TV-Server plugins are configured.

Edit: My problem was with Windows firewall. I disabled the firewall and restarted the PC. Enabled the firewall and restarted the PC again. After that my problems disappeared.

Anyone who is having this error (and both server and client have the PS plugin enabled) are you using "restart Mediaportal on resume" setting?

I have both plugins enabled and I am not using "restart Mediaportal on resume" setting.

Anyway, I cannot resume as long as I cannot hibernate it when TV is on... I get that error both manually starting MP from Windows, or resuming after manually turn TV off and then hibernate.

Solved, but new problem

Thanks to Diddip, the problem with PowerScheduler was solved: I disabled Windows firewall and restarted the PC, run MP and stopped. Enabled the firewall and restarted the PC again. After that my problems with PowerScheduler disappeared.

But a new error appeared in error.log at TVServer logs:

I don't know what this means, but not accessing the BD sounds quite bad. Any idea what means and how to solve it?

I reinstalled MP and these errors happened the same.
