TV-Server Ports (1 Viewer)

[Flipit]

Hi all,

Just want to give the team a big up for the work done on the TV server. I'm trying the SVNs a the lasted versions have been pretty special. Nice job...

BTW. My laptop seems to have some difficulty in connecting to the server, which I think is a firewall/router issue... anyway for furture reference and to speed up installation on a network when the full version is released... what ports is the server using.

TCP 31456: Found this one.
UPD ?
Other TCPs

Thanks again.

you could try netstat from the command line, this should tell you all the ports that are being used.

Tried nestat -b - an only port the server seems to be Listening on is TCP 31456.

I get an established session beween my laptop and the server on this port, but never get a TV appearing on the Laptop... 10/100 wired Ethernet !

Just thought there may be some UDP calls, or other TCPs, that are required that my firewall is blocking.

Oh well.

1. Port TCP 31456 is used for remote-controlling the tvserver
2. Port TCP 554 is used for RTSP announcements
3. Each stream will have its own UDP port also, i think the first stream will start at UDP port 1156
3. and offcourse you will need a port open to reach the sql database

3. and offcourse you will need a port open to reach the sql database

and you need to configure the sql server to accept connections from the LAN.
default is localhost only!

i'm sorry i have tried all those ports and mind still doesn't work, anyone who has successfully opened ports on windows firewall and its working can you tell me the ports you opened? or PM me?

Couldn't you just select the executables that will require ports opened and add them as exclusion to the firewall rules. Eg sqlserver.exe, therefore if the app is using a dynamic port you don't have to change your rule or add a range.

Secondly once we know what exe's are involved part of the mp install process should be to add these exclusions automatically using the netsh command.

I havn;t tested this as I am not using the new engine yet so don't shoot me down if it doesn't work

Maybe just turn off the firewall to make sure that this is your problem.
Once you can determine for sure that it is the firewall then work on getting the exclusions right, but it would be bad to dedicate too much time and then realise something else was causing the problem.

I will say it once more.
