A little help required...

Firstly, can I thank all those who have contributed to this. Ity's been needed for years. Well done.

Second. I can't get it to work And I know it's going to be something really simple.

I don't use Mediaportal normally, I'm an MCE slave. Althougth if this works out that may change.

I have a Windows Home Server (2003 Server) with a usb dvb-t tuner with bda drivers.

Here's what I've done so far:

1. Installed Mediaportal 2.3.0
2. Installed vc2005 sp1
3. Installed Mediaportal svn 18080 (
4. Installed MySQL 5
5. Installed TV server 18080
6. Copied dll from this thread to plugins directory
7. Scanned for tv channels (finds what I expect)
8. Enabled plugin (not able to configure, but don't expect to)
9. Updated xbmc (12263 T3ch)
10. ftp'd python stuff to /E/apps/XBMC/plugins/video/TVServer Live TV/
11. Edited xbmcplugin_list.py to point to server
12. Added TVServer as a video source

Unfortunatley all I ever get is "Unable to connect to server".

What am I doing (done) wrong?

Many thanks,

Hojou:

There is not option to configure this plugin. You just modify the .pl file to point to the right ip address and then add it as a video source.

I have no idea how you can view rtsp on xbox otherwise, but let us know if you find something else.

box2k2:

Make sure your firewall is not blocking it, and make sure your tv server is set to stream on the right IP address.

Other than that I don't know what it could be. It seemed to work pretty easily for me.

Hope that helps,

Aaron,

Thanks for your prompt reply. Could you explain what you mean by "make sure your tv server is set to stream on the right IP address"?

I thought I had already done that by changing the IP address in th py file. Or do I need to config/change something on the Windows box?

Firewall won't be the problem, unless my router is doing something funny.

Thanks,

Hi Dudes,

Greetinx from Germany and the german XBMC.DE community...

Yesterday we got a Post with this Thread as topic....
xbmc.de: News

Unfortunately the MP configuration tool broke up when I try to activate the XBMC Plugin in Media Portal... with this message:

It would be the last step for entering the IP Adress for the Xbox in my local network ... without that it's impossible to test :-( :-(

I've done so far:
MP 0.2.3.0 installed
Customizing XBMC Plugin on XBMC
DL the DLL Datei and transferred it to:
Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\plugins\process\TVServerXBMC.dll

Without the TVServerXBMC.dll the plugin configuration runs, with this file in the folder the error message occurs...

How to fix that ?

Greetz





I've tried

box2k2:

When you configure your TV Server and it says master, click edit and make sure the ip address is the one visible to the xbox.

badticket:

It looks like you've put it in the MediaPortal plugins folder, but it's for TV Server only.

Hope that helps,

Ok, I've got it working. But.... The stream only runs a few seconds, then it stops (sometimes two seconds, sometime ten). After trying a few channels XBMC completely crashes. A hard reboot is the only way to get into XBMC again. This happens every time. I give it a try.

I'm using the latest T3CH build.

Strange,

I'm using a build from about a month ago and it works fine.

Being as there are two components to this, the plugin and the script, it could be a problem with either the XBMC revision or the TV Server revision ...

What build is your TV Server?

Cheers,

I'm using the latest build (revision 18584). Maybe some logging from the XBOX plugin can help?
I also have the MP TVserver client installed and that's working fine (eventhough somehow the TVserver can't find some channels that must be present).
