At first i installed the TV server on the windows home server system:
- mysql
- TVServer
so far no problem, scanned channel, generated a 2th group called "MyChannels" and added my favourit TV Channel.
only thing i noticed is that the TV Server setuptool takes minutes to switch between menues ..... is there a possibility to enhance this ?
no errors or anything in the log files .... so i started to install the Client
- Installed TV Client
- Installed latest SVN
- Installed myTV plugin out of the server directory.
- setting up MP

and finally started it
- no problems with DVD/VID/MUSIK/PICTURES

but
when i start myTV, he always keeps asking me where to find the server :/, and when i start myTV and klick "channels", i cant find my channellist i created, there is not a single channel nor a channelgroup in the list :/
when klicking on programm i get a list of sender, when i click one, he starts playing the TV channel, and after this the "channellist" shows all groups and channels :/ ....strange.

so far ....but a few days ago i had to reinstal my server, and it got worse

did exactly the same things TV Server up and running, but when i connect with my client got to program and click a channel MP freezes and thats it :/ some times after a few minutes i get a black screen and i can go back to the tv menue, but 3out of 4 times it just freezes ...... so i am unable to watch any TV channel :/

plz help.

BTW i always have to disable EPG in order to be able to watch TV on a client ? why ?

I'm having the same problems than you, but worst, because I was unable to receive the channel list and groups any time. tvserver seems working, I can preview channels and connect with VLC, but mediaportal resist working. I try two snapshots removing all before but nothing. I try mediaportal on the server and on a laptop connected througth wifi but the same on boot.

I don't know why, but the analog receiver that works great before (hybrid Pinnacle PCTV 300i), know crash tvserver when searching channels on tvserver and with mediaportal without tvserver that worked before, know have a create graph error when adding the card.

I will made a post with this detailed and my logs.

cheers
