TV Server and Windows 8 (2 Viewers)

I was just installing MediaPortal TV Server 1.2.2 in Windows 8 and here is the message I have when I want to launch the service :




Any ideas ?

I hate to hijack/bump this thread. Bump the service won't even start for me Though I do realize this is a beta OS etc but is there anything we can do?

I doubt Windows 8 is even supported by the MP team. Good luck with that. Maybe you could try a Win7 compat. mode.

The problem is a OS versification in Mediaportal Server that prevents the TVService from starting. I've patched the TvControl.dll so the service can start under Windows 8 and also Windows 8 Server. Just extract the TvControl.dll to "MediaPortal TV Server" folder.

Does this allow a full working 1.2.2 Mediaportal single seat under Windows 8?

Thanks - sorted out a new install of the TV server for me on Win 8

Guys can we install TV Server 1.2.2 in Windows ????????

If you mean Windows 8, then yes. Use xGDI's patched dll. I'm using the server with XBMC (not full Mediaportal).

I have to say, after "refreshing" the os 3 times, thinking I must have screwed up somewhere, I was just about to give up on the whole HTPC on Win8 idea.....

And then I find this post. Part of me wants to say congratulations and thanks, the other is cursing your ingenuity and its ill-effects on my spare time.

Here is the new TvControl.dll for Version 1.2.3.

Sorry hopefully I didn't waste too much of your time. I have all my HTPCs running on Win8 and it's working great.
