Is this a new installation on a "fresh" system? Was/is MP1 also installed?

I think this is the same issue as reported in this german thread: https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/kein-player-für-stream3-0.126672/.

First idea was (and is) to check if VC redistributables are installed.

Yep, fresh system with MP1 to. I'll check for VC redistribuables this evening and post back.

Please also check playback of a .ts file from hard disk, because TsReader.ax is used for this also. The NullReferenceException happens if this filter could not be loaded, either because itself is missing or a dependency. Only reference of this filter is the VC redist (I think 2010).

I've try installing VC 2005/2008/2010/2013 and it changes nothing. Reinstall MP2 after VC Red. and nothing...

I got the same error from other .ts files from Hard Disk.

Thanks for your investigation

I manage to get it working with Windows Update. It installed update for VC redistributable 2010, And the TV begins to work after that. It means that the official VC resistributable 2010 do not suffice, we need to run windows update after to get VC update.

No more '' There is no player registered to play media item 'stream3.0' ''

thanks morpheus_xx

Hello all.

I'm getting this same error message with MP2 Summer Update 2015 Update 1. I've installed Server/client on one PC and everything is working fine.

On the second PC, I install client, and it works straight after it. However after 24 hours, it stops working. I have installed/uninstalled VC2010 x86 to try and work out how to get it working again to no avail.

Both PCs are on Windows 10 Pro.

I thought it was the firewall on the server/client PC, but disabling that doesn't fix anything either.

From the client.log file:

[2015-09-21 17:35:09,136] [32691 ] [Thread9 ] [WARN ] - SlimTvPlayerBuilder: Error playing media item 'Resource '{04affa6c-ea42-4bd3-aa6f-c16dcef1d693}://0|rtsp://Bob:554/stream3.0' at system '2e44a150-9c0d-4764-9178-ec6e319cddfc'

Update: I found a Windows Update that seems to correspond to the time it stopped working:

Security Update for Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (KB2467173)

Uninstalling it didn't fix anything though.

Update 2:

In the SetupTV.exe config, under streaming server, set the IP address from "Auto" to the IP address of the server. All working.

Posted so that if anyone else has the issue...you don't get the "Noooo, don't post it's working and have no solution!!!".
