[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1282842, member: 141969"] I am not aware of any existing facility to do this :(. If you want to write a tool of your own, you could perhaps look at the MP client log file. There are entries that contain the word "Heartbeat" that might allow you to detect an unresponsive TV Server. Once detected, you need to draw the user's attention to the problem. I would probably use AutoHotKey, because that can minimise the MP client window to the Task Bar (which the user would certainly notice!) and display a pop-up window on screen. So: [LIST] [*]Start an AutoHotKey script when the client system boots. [*]Once each minute read the MP log file looking for trigger strings (you will need to experiment to find what string occurs when TV Server is unresponsive). [*]When the trigger string is found, minimise the MP window to the Task Bar and display a pop-up window. [/LIST] I expect that there are more elegant solutions that send appropriate datastreams to the correct ports that TV server would reply to, but I have no idea what they might be, so I would not do it that way. o_O A dedicated solution that is part of the MP client would be the best solution, but such a solution will probably not be implemented in the near future. :( -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
