[QUOTE="citizenkeys, post: 499732, member: 91851"] Why isn't "localhost" a valid TV server name? i had a real bad experience earlier with TV server... TV Server was set to use an i.p. that I had been using from a DHCP server. But the i.p. hadn't changed in so long that I didn't notice. Well the i.p. from the DHCP server changed and so TV server wouldn't start. MediaPortal kept saying I had "no free card" to use to watch tv. An hour later, I had to finally go into MySQL config and change the i.p. of the tv server to use the new i.p. address. Since the TVServer and MediaPortal are on the same machine, using "localhost" as the tvserver would always use whatever i.p. my computer has. :growl: [/QUOTE]
