I got a new notebook and tried to use it with my HTPC. After installing the Mediaportal Client I configured the TV Client to connect with the TVServer on my HTPC. The Connection works so the Client gets all information from EPG, RecordedTV etc.

But when I start TV the display keeps black. No video, no audio. On the HTPC in TVServer-Config I can see the active stream. And with VLC I can watch it on the notebook. I tried several Codec combinations, but nothing worked. Whether with wireless nor wired LAN connection.

Recently I installed MP-Client on another Desktop PC, entered the HTPC-IP-address and everything worked instantly, so the TV-Server Configuration is ok. MP on the notebook is able to play TS-Files via MyVideo, so it shouldn't be a problem of filters or codecs.

Has anybody an idea what's the matter?

Thanks guys!

Hi Fibbo

Please try to disable the firewall on the client temporarily to determine whether that has any effect.

Thanks for reply.

I did so, but no difference.

VMR9/EVR isn't added to graph

Hey everybody,

I compared some Logs of the Notebook and the Desktop-PC and found something strange.

It seems like the TV-Client of the notebook doesn't add the EVR to the Graph.

Here's the special part of the log:

Any ideas for reasons or how to fix it?

I already tried to use VMR9 but without any success.

Re: VMR9/EVR isn't added to graph

It seems like the TV-Client of the notebook doesn't add the EVR to the Graph.

That is exactly the point. MP doesn't think there is a video stream so it doesn't insert a video codec or video renderer (you should leave your settings on EVR). I think the issue is caused by the client not receiving the video data from the server which is why I asked you to turn off the firewall. It is at least probably something to do with these entries in the TsReader log:

demux:endoffile

You could try using UNC instead of RTSP.

Hey mm,

thank you very much for your help.

With UNC everythings works just perfect.
