There is no player registered to play media item stream X.Y (1 Viewer)

[Matt84]

When attempting to play live TV from a Client Only install of Media Portal back to my Media Portal Server I get an error of "There is no player registered to play media item stream X.Y".

I've tried version 2.4.1 and 2.5. I've also tried setting a static IP on both the client and the server.

In 2.5 I get this error in the logs:

Setting a static IP on both client and server doesn't help. I also disabled the Windows firewall at both ends but this did not help either. Any ideas as to what might be going wrong?

I can play recorded TV from the Client Only install without issue. It is only Live TV that has the issue
