[QUOTE="AFH, post: 985580, member: 138895"] I have recently upgraded to 1.3.0 Final and it works very well, except that for the first time I tried to use a remote client. The TV server is running Win7/64 and works fine with its local client, but try as I might I cannot get a remote client running under XP/32 on the same home network to play anything, whether live or recorded TV, or music, or videos. The rest of the interface works OK, including programme guides. I have tried all the advice I could find in your forums, including:- 1. disable firewalls on both machines; 2. change RTSP port number; 3. patch XML configuration files to stop RTSP being used; and 4. start stream manually on server and view the stream remotely with VLC - this works fine, so there are no obvious network problems. I checked the logs and saw that the server starts the stream, but when I wiresharked the traffic I found that, after the client had sent the stream set-up requests and the server started streaming, the client sent a TEARDOWN request to close the stream down again. The stream reported in the "unable to stream" message was the same as was logged. I have run out of things to try. I used the same installation file for both the server/local client and the remote client. I did not try any of this with 1.2 and I am not prepared to go back there to see if it is a specific 1.3 problem. If anyone can help I shall be most grateful. I cannot believe I am the only one with these problems. I have other means to watch remote TV, but I like MP so much that I would prefer to use it if I possibly can. By the way, I looked at MPTVClient, but this is currently available only in 64-bit, which is unsuitable for my XP/32 client. [/QUOTE]
