[QUOTE="dklong, post: 425214, member: 92186"] Folks I have been running MediaPortal (with both TV-Server and MediaPortal as a client running on the same PC) since October 08 and it has changed the way my family and I watch TV... all for the better! :-) I have recently been looking at setting up a second MediaPC in the house as just a client talking to the main TV-Server. I installed the same version of MP on the client that I had installed on the main PC and it worked like a dream! This was all using V1.0.0.0 RC2 as it turns out. I have however had intermittent issues with the original setup which were usually resolved by closing the client and restarting it so, when I recently saw that 1.0.2 had been released, I thought I'd try out the latest as it undoubtedly had a bunch of minor bugs fixed. I initially installed it on the 'Client Only' PC as a test but found that once this was done the client couldn't even find the server anymore. I figured this wasn't unreasonable given the version difference so bit the bullet and tried to upgrade my main media PC as well. This required uninstalling both TV-Server and MediaPortal and then installing 1.0.2 from scratch. After a few configuration tweaks the main PC works fine and we can do everything we could before... along with a snazzy new interface. The whole thing seems quicker too! All good so far. :-) Unfortunately, the 'client-only' PC still had problems. It had improved in that it could now see the server, and would happily list the program guide or previously recorded shows. This suggests that it is talking to the database OK. Unfortunately, when I try and play anything... either live TV or pre-recorded shows, it justs seems to hang. There is no network traffic occuring and it requires Task Manager to kill the client. The network configuration hasn't changed since it was working earlier and neither PC has Windows firewall turned on. They are also all inside the firewall on the router. I can undoubtedly go back to the previous version and get it going again but would prefer to move forward if possible. Has anybody else got 1.0.2 going in a multi-seat install? If so , were there any tricks? Thanks in advance DL [/QUOTE]
