[solved] "There is no player registered to play media item 'stream X.X'" - now have this message on 2 clients (1 Viewer)

[Paul F]

Hi, I have a server/client PC (MP2.4) that seems still to be still working fine, but 2 other clients have suddenly stopped playing live TV and give the same message: "There is no player registered to play item 'media stream X.X' ".

I have been on holiday and both clients have needed a windows update on return so suspect this may be part of the issue?

I have tried re-installing MP2.4 on one of the clients but it still has the same issue. I have made sure that the video codes use LAV. Not sure what to try next.
example client logs attached - last test of playing TV from guide on the client at 9:08/9:09.

[Note everything else seems to be working fine on the server and clients - photos, videos, showing the guide etc]

Thanks
Paul F

Hi,

your logs are full of:

This indicates a network communication issue. It could be windows changes network or firewall settings.

1. Stop the server
2. Remove (or move somewhere else as backup) the folders C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MP2-Client\Config
3. Restart the client
4. If the server is not connected yet, connect it in General -> Connectivity -> Home server

Additionally you may also try installing LAV manually gain.

Hi Ge2301

Thanks for the help

I tried the suggestion but it didnt help - however the issue is sorted now. - it seems that
it was just that the server needed a restart (even though there was no indication in Windows) - as soon as I started both clients (one reparied as above, one not) both started working right away.
(I would have tried a restart on the server before but it was always busy recording TV programs)

Merry Christmas
