Hello,
I've tried many thinks to make the TV Server work on my system with the Hauppauge WinTV Nova HD-S2 card, but it still does not work.
What I tried:
Since I want to run the server on Win7 I started with Win7x64-RTM + MP 1.1.0_Beta-1_rev23491. Since it might be related to x64 or Win7 or the MP Beta I tried next:
Vista SP2 + MP 1.0.2
- Installed TV Server
- Installed Client on the same computer

What I can see:
- All TV card drivers are installed properly. The TV card runs with the WinTV application => no driver or HW issue
- In TV server the TV card is visible
- Channel scan in TV server works fine: A bunch of channels are detected (SD + HD)
- When I select TV-Channels/Preview on a SD channel a window is opened, but is stays black. Selection preview on a second channel is not possible (looks like TV server is stuck)
- When I use the client (connected to the server on the same machine) I can select a channel, but the view stay black. The client stucks and I have to kill it with the task manager

1) Is it right that TV-Channels->Preview should open an TV life view?
2) Did anybody else have this experience?
3) What could I do to make it work or focus the bug?

Thanks

Hi,

I found the reason for this issue
The used memory was not supported by my mainboard: I used 4GB and the board supports only 3GB.
Unfortunately all other applications run without any effect, so I didn't realize my memory issue.

Now it works: TV Server from MP 1.1.0_Beta-1_rev23491 works with Win7 x64 RTM.

I still have issues with HDTV, but I have to check some codec issues first...
