[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1305026, member: 141969"] I have just performed a true first-time install of the 64-bit MP 1.38.3 client on an empty 64-bit Windows 10 system. Here is the pre-install summary: [ATTACH alt="pre-install_summary.jpg"]218128[/ATTACH] The install of ".Net Framework 4" took a very long time to complete, so long in fact that I thought that the system was locked up. But the install of that component did complete eventually. A bit later during the MP install, the system rebooted, for no obvious reason. After restarting the system, I re-ran the MP install, and this time it ran to completion. Here is the pre-install summary for the restart install: [ATTACH alt="restart_summary.jpg"]218129[/ATTACH] I rebooted and then ran "MP Config". The following window appeared: [ATTACH alt="windows_firewall.jpg"]218130[/ATTACH] Note: sometimes the check box for public networks is pre-selected. I always deselect this, as I believe that if Windows thinks that your network connection may be a public network (e.g. an internet cafe), Windows will impose much more restrictive firewall rules, in order to protect your system. This window also appears when the server is installed; deselect public networks for that too. In "MP Config" I set the server name. The drop-down menu listed the TV server system, so I selected that and clicked the "Test connection" button, which responded with a successful connection. I then started the MP client, and was able to watch live TV streamed from the server, and play recorded TV files stored on the server. So client installs do work for MP 1.38.3 (64-bit). However, this does not really help with your problem, and we are none the wiser as to what the cause is. In the spirit of "trying all possible solutions at random", I would now suggest this: [LIST] [*]Uninstall MP2 if it is still on your systems. Then manually delete all leftover MP2 folders. [*]Uninstall MP1 from the server and client systems. Again, manually delete all leftover folders (you will need to enable the Windows setting to show hidden folders). [*]Reboot. [*]Run the MP1 installer for the server system. Reboot. [*]Run the MP1 installer for the client system. Reboot. [*]Scan for channels in "TV Server Config". [*]Grab the EPG in "TV Server Config. [*]Start the client and check whether it can access live TV and recorded TV on the server. [/LIST] -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
