[QUOTE="irw, post: 1305138, member: 168812"] You had more success than I. For the record, I use an uninstaller to make sure the registry entries and stray folders and files are deleted. I went through the entire process you list on the single-seat server, the Win10 client and the Win11 client. This time, I did all three as x64. Like you, I said Private Network only. The single-seat server/client works fine with no noticeable difference to x84. The Win10 client is as before i.e. it shows all the channels and lists the recorded programmes but won't play live or recorded TV. The Win11 client tried to play live or recorded TV and then a dialogue box popped up saying it needed port 554 RTSP to operate. Then another saying words to the effect that a change is needed to the firewall. I assumed it meant the client firewall. I looked at the server and client firewalls and could find no entries for Real Time Streaming Protocol or RTSP. I set up a new rule on the server outbound rules and the client inbound rules allowing port 554 through. I suspect this is totally unnecessary as the MediaPortal firewall entries allow all ports. Both clients still fail. The only difference I note to your installation is that my Win10 client never finds the server PC so it invokes the MP configuration and I have to type in the name then click the check connectivity button and then it always says it is connected properly. Even so, when I launch MP on the Win10 client, it always seems to fail to connect and insists on me retyping it to connect. In case it is a clue, both clients display a red dot (top centre) when a new recording is in progress so I see that as evidence that they have good connectivity. I've checked and checked but do wonder if all this means it is a folder security issue, as you wondered a few posts back. [/QUOTE]
