Hello,
I currently have an HTPC in my living room, running both the back end and front end.
I also have two other computers running only as clients.
Now, ever since I have had this set up I have had problems with the clients - sometimes they work and sometimes they don't - when they don't they just say "cannot play stream 2.0" and I cannot watch anything. I think it sometimes works after I turn the router off and then back on again, though I have only recently worked this out.
This never happens on the HTPC.
I have read on this forum that it is almost certainly an issue with my network and that I need to assign my TV server a static IP address - especially as the computer goes into sleep mode when not being used.
The problem is that I cannot find any information on what to do.
I would be really grateful for some advice.
Thanks
