    Hi

    Have upgraded a previously perfectly working multiseat setup from 1.6 to 1.7, and on the face of it all seems to have been OK, except for the client when going to watch live TV.

    The Config interface on the client gives "Unable to connect to host 'mediaserver'". The host is running, Can check all the settings, manually stream etc. The service is running on the host and all mapped drives are OK. Can even access live and recorded TV via WebMP ... suggesting the server side is all OK?

    Any ideas?

    Cheers

    Craig

    Hello Craig

    Please post the result of the command "ping mediaserver" from the client.

    Hi mm

    Sorry, I should have outlined more my network setup and what Ive tested:
    * Entering the IP Address into the Client config also doesnt solve. The mediaserver is on a fixed IP Address of 10.0.0.11 as is the client.
    * The mediaserver is fully accessible, all DNS is working internally as well as name resolution,
    * The client is a Windows 7 Pro build
    * The host is a Window 7 Pro with a few Virtuam machines on it (one is the Domain Controller running Win2k8)[DOUBLEPOST=1398131551][/DOUBLEPOST]Actually, it might be the server ... as the following is showing inthe TV Server logs

    Hmm, the server seems happy sometimes, but not at other times.

    The log excerpts you've posted indicate some process (possibly a zombie TV service) is blocking the normal TV Server ports. That also happened earlier in the logs.

    I'm not sure what is causing that. There is no indication of dirty service shutdown or anything. Very odd.

    When you had problems with that client, were you able to check any other clients (ie. not just a TV Server configuration test)? Alternatively was the single seat install on the server working okay (or is it a server-only install?)?

    I do think the problem is probably server side network configuration - perhaps the VPN? - but need to find some way to decisively prove that.

    Yea, what I was thinking as well ... that some process was on the same port.

    Tried again bouncing the process but no luck. THe server is just server, no client .. and unfortunately only have one full client setup.

    Definetly server side, as did a full reboot and this now shows for the streaming server:

    Code:
    22-04-2014 15:12:08.762 -------------- v1.0.5 ---------------
    22-04-2014 15:12:08.764 Stream server:Setup stream server for ip: 10.0.0.11
