I have never seen this. But this thread seems to indicate that some proxy servers cause issues:

Are you trying to get to schedulesdirect through a proxy?

You can try to put the configuration suggested into the TVservice.exe.config file:

<configuration>
<system.net><settings><servicePointManagerexpect100Continue="false"/></settings></system.net>
... the rest of the file

If that doesn't work, I may need to do a code change.

That did the trick.

I'm using PFsense firewall at home with a transparent proxy setup.

I added the below entry into the TVservice.exe.config file inside the <configuration> tag and restarted the service and it worked great.

<system.net>
<settings>
<servicePointManager expect100Continue="false" />
</settings>
</system.net>

Thanks for your quick response.

I've attached a change to the code to do the equivalent of the config file. Would you mind testing it out Craig?

• Unzip the dll
• stop the MediaPortal TV Service
• Copy both SchedulesDirectPluginTVE3.dll and TvdbLib?.dll files into the "%Program Files%\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal TV Server\Plugins" directory
• Rename the config file so it isn't used
• Start the TV Service

Thanks,
Clint

Just and fyi for anyone unable to change channels directly with blaster but selecting in guide works fine, it turns out SD is not filling in the channel number field, at least on my system it was putting 1000 in this field for every channel. Here is how I fixed my problem.

@laserheat, I'll patch the SD plugin ASAP (hopefully tomorrow night).

Attached is an updated SchedulesDirect dll that sets the channel column for Analog stations. To try it out, stop TvServer, copy the dll into your Tvserver plugins directory (overwriting the old version) and restart tvserver.

I will add an installer, just not tonight. I'm still trying to figure out how to set the channel column for ATSC channels and what to set it to. I think MCE uses channels over 1000 - not sure how they come up with the numbers though.

Hope that helps
Clint

cwchapma, thanks for the update. I will try it out this weekend and let you know how it goes.

I think the only way to have it update your channel numbers is to delete all your channels and let the plugin reload them. Make sure you backup up your schedules before you delete your channels.

I'll see if I can figure out a way to have it update without deleting your channels but no promises.

The plugin has been updated in the Mediaportal Extension Installer. You'll need to stop the TVservice before you install in and restart it after.

This update includes:
-Fix for proxy servers and "expectation failed" exception that @Craig049 was having.
-Updates new channel number column so you change channels by inputting the number.

To get the channel numbers to update, you'll need to "force guide update" in the SD plugin settings and then restart TVService.

I was hoping to do the same thing MCE does for ATSC channels and make 4-1 channel 1041 but Mediaportal doesn't appear to support 4 digit channels. So instead, 4-1 becomes 4. Not sure what issues that might cause.

Iinstaller is also attached.

Hope that helps,
Clint
