Windows Server 2012 not supported?

[dreiohrhase]

Hi,

I just discovered NextPVR and successfully installed it with my network and my tuner hardware on a Win7 32-bit laptop computer. I was able to install, configure tuners, scan for channels, get EPG and record a show.

I then seemingly installed NextPVR 4.23 on my Win2012R2 server, my tuner hardware showed up (two instances of two tuner hardware AVM Fritz!box 6490 cable, AVM Fritz!W-LAN repeater DVB-C). But I wasn't able to scan for channels.
When trying, I got an error "Unable to start device".

I also was not able to stop the PVR Recording service. When I tried, the error message was:

Code:

Unable to stop service: System.InvalidOperationException: Der Dienst NPVR Recording Service auf dem Computer . kann nicht beendet werden ---> System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: Der Dienst kann zurzeit keine Steuerungsmeldungen annehmen --- Ende der internen Ausnahmestapelüberwachung --- bei System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController.Stop() bei NCtrl.Program.Mai(String[] args)

I have my firewalls permanently disabled, I was able to reach the https localhost release notes URL mentioned in another thread. I restarted the server.


The part of the logs which looks relevant is:

Code:

Can you please help me finding a way to support my setup?

Basically it's failing to load the Microsoft's "MPEG-2 Demultiplexer" component, which isn't available on Windows Server by default. If you google "how to add bda support to Windows 2012", you'll find instructions for adding these components to Windows Server.
