live tv not working on client install

[u1504x4]

Building a new Win 7 install did not solve the problem. I still get the same error message. Here’s what I did:
Flashed motherboard to the latest BIOS.
Fresh install of Win 7 Enterprise
Added license key
Loaded Win 7 drivers for motherboard from manufactures web site
Installed Microsoft’s security essentials (not used on old install AVG was used)
Applied 100’s of Microsoft patches
Update the NVidia software that was recommended by Windows update.
Installed DirectX 9.0c runtimes. From system requirements web page
Installed Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Runtimes. From system requirements web page
Applied a bunch more patches
Installed NextPVR and setup as client
Clicked on live TV and received the same error message.
What a waste of a weekend.
Hardware installed.

Don't know what to tell you then. I'd want to blame the server, but you already said you installed the client on a Vista laptop and it worked fine so that tends to say the server is ok. No one else has ever reported a problem like this. Feel special?

I have no idea if the problem has anything to do with the vc++ runtime, but awhile back a newer runtime was required for some specific reason. You could try this one: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/...x?id=30679

There'll be a new release of NPVR fairly soon, maybe that will work for you.

Did you you try something basic like using the IP of your host PC?

The client shows me the TV schedule and I can see all of the recorded programs just cannot play them. I will try the run time update and see if that helps.

The remote access protocol for playback is quite different than the direct EPG from a share. There are two settings in setup

johnsonx42 I applied the new vc++ run time in your link and live TV is now working. Thank You so much.

great. one improvement in the new version coming soon is that it comes with the correct version of the vc++ runtime files that it needs, so there's no guesswork in figuring out (which means the new version would have fixed it for you too).

edit: I've added the link to the newer VC++ runtime to the sticky post, in case anyone goes looking for it.
