Hi team - I know that my profile says I joined in 2008, but I never actually got things set up then. MP1 felt very "raw" at the time, so I just persevered with Media Center under XP and 7. After an increasing number of issues with Windows 7, and the impending withdrawal of support, I finally made the jump to Mediaportal 2 at the start of the year.
It's generally working well - some weird issues with some recorded programmes showing twice and issues deleting, but I am sure that's just the source setup.
My reason for coming back on here after 11 years is an attempt to set up a client. The server is a tower behind the lounge PC with tuners; a necessity for Windows MCE, but I'd like to tidy it up, so have a little 8th generation i3 NUC to go in its place, with the server to be relegated to the networking cupboard. The new client can see the server fine, all of the recordings, guide etc show up without problem, but I have no video playback! Streaming from the server appears to be working - the MPTvScheduler app on my phone can play live TV and recordings without problem - but I just get a black screen. I've tried LAV and Microsoft splitters and codecs, and channels with both SD and HD and having no luck.
An initial error about the path was resolved by setting up the network credentials correctly, but now I'm not even getting errors in the log. Just no playback.
Hoping someone can point me in the right direction - and if I've posted this in the wrong area, please let me know! The logs are attached (showing lots of attempts...), specs in my profile, and happy to provide additional info if required!
