Client Help

[tgkspike]

I am trying to setup a client

Right now, in file sharing mode, I can see recordings , and watch them.
I can't watch live TV , I only get a blank screen.
Also the TV Guide does show listings and shows set to be recorded. I have all folders shared and gave full rights to all users.

When in streaming mode, I can once again see the TV guide but nothing more, recorded tv shows just show up as a blank screen.

I am using a WinTV-PVR-USB2 tuner.

Any ideas or help would be great

Looks like a firewall issue just off the top of my head. Do you have a firewall on your server (Windows Firewall, Zonealarm etc) ? Has it got port 7968 enabled?

[sub]

Yeah, looks like firewall to me too.
