[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1305012, member: 141969"] The logs show that you are encountering Windows error 0x80004005. Unfortunately, this is a general error code that simply means that the resource could not be accessed. I don't know the cause of your problem, but I think that you should check the authorisations for the folders that TV Server uses. There can be multiple folders, depending on what you defined in "TV Server Config". I use the same recording folder for all tuners, so I have only one recording folder, but you can define a different recording folder for each tuner. You need to check the authorisations for all of those. In addition, live TV works by writing the data stream to a file, and then reading that file and sending the data to the client (this is what allows you to rewind live TV to view again earlier parts of the programme). Usually, TV Server uses a different folder for live TV, so you need to check the authorisations for that too. This folder is defined in the "Timeshifting" section of "TV Server Config". To check or grant authorisations: [LIST] [*]Start "Windows Explorer". [*]Navigate to the recording folder. [*]Right-click the recording folder and click "Give access to", and then click "Specific people". [*]On the "Network access" panel, check who is authorised for what. I would suggest that you authorise the "Everyone" identity for read/write access. You need read access to play a recording or live TV, and write access in order to delete a recording. If you want to be more restrictive, you can add specific identities (userids) for the people who will log on to the MP client systems, and give them less access. [*]Repeat for the live TV folder (timeshifting folder). [/LIST] Here is the "Network access" panel on the laptop that I am posting from (Windows 10): [ATTACH]218114[/ATTACH] -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
