    I try to watch tv or recordings from a Client. Does not work.
    The logs show the try to watch a recording.
    It is strange to me that the log says the stream would be recognized as Radio.

    I did two tests:
    - VLC can show the rtsp-stream.
    - I added the recording folder of the server as video folder to the Client -> the client plays the file correct.

    I did a complete uninstall and reinstall. Did not help.

    Any ideas?

    Hello Mike

    Problem is network or firewall related. Check the firewall on your server and client. I recommend to disable them for testing. If that helps, ensure MediaPortal.exe has an exception rule for public and private on the client; same for TvService.exe on the server.

    Was my first idea too.
    Both firewalls are disabled.
    I even reinstalled with enabled firewalls to allow MP to establish the rules and disabled afterwords...

    tested both - does not work.
    At least in "non rtsp" mode there is an error message in MP: "can not play ...."

    Yes, thank you, to make the recording path name shorter fixed the problem. Also live tv works with unc.
    Never the less - i would like to know the reason why rtsp does not work.
    What else could i test/try?

    I reckon it is a network latency issue or something like that. Using a wired connection with firewalls down should give you the best chance of success. The fact that VLC works tells you this is almost certainly an MP problem.

    @Owlsroost any ideas?

    The RTSP connection is being set up OK (as far as I can tell, but I'm not an expert on RTSP), but no data arrives (even after waiting 7 seconds) so I think something must be blocking the streaming UDP packets.

    Do you have antivirus with network traffic monitoring running (in case that might be blocking packets) ?
