[QUOTE="Spooky, post: 511810, member: 11539"] I noticed a small problem regarding the way the TvServer connects to itself or the tv cards. The TvServer seems to obtain the actual ip address of the hostname of the server only once when the service starts and doesn't update it afterwards. This means that if the server is obtaining its IP from a DHCP server and the DHCP server is not reachable for whatever reason, windows assigns as 169.*.*.* ip to the network controller. The TvServer uses this IP from then on (according to the logs), even when windows updates to IP to the correct one from the DHCP server later on. This means that the TvServer is basically not working until the service is restarted. Now I know that this could be easily fixed by simply assigning a static IP to the tv server, but still, shouldn't the TvServer try to check what the actual IP is? [/QUOTE]
