Vista Client won't play TV (occasionally it does) (1 Viewer)

[Luca Brasi]

Hi there,

I have got a problem with one of my clients.
TV sometimes works, most of the cases it won't (maybe 9 out of 10 attempts).
It is a Win Vista 32 Client connected via WLan.
On my other client (Win 7 via lan) tv works but it takes a long time to start.
On all machines I run 1.2 Beta.

I tried all the hints I could find here in the forums:

- Setting fix IPs on all machines and in the streaming server.
- Opening ports for SQL and remote on all machines.
- Changing streaming port to 6666.
- I even set off all the firewalls, didn't help on the vista/wlan client, accelerated tv start on the lan client though.

I added some logs of the machine which won't start tv in most cases. As far as I understand it is a problem with the connection to the sql database. It sas something about not being able to connect to mmhtpc (my tv.server) although I set the client to use the ip of the machine (192.168.172.113).

All logs were made while the firewalls were off.

As mentioned before sometimes it works which is really odd....

I would appreciate your help very much, thanks in advance...

Luca

AW: Vista Client won't play TV (occasionally it does)

Hi guys,

it seems that I solved it myself: I put the ip-adress of the tvserver in the hosts-file on the machine, which didn't connect.
Now it works fine...
