'Object reference not set' error when trying to schedule recordings from PC clients.

[JP23]

Hi,

Sorry if this has been dealt with elsewhere, but my searches didn't turn anything up.

I have several Win 7 x64 clients, they are working well except that I can't schedule recordings from them.
When I try I get the following exception:

Code:

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

I'm pretty sure I've installed all the prerequisites etc.
Any ideas what's going wrong?

Unfortunately there is a real annoyance with tuner plugins and you have to have the plugin installed on clients too even when the device isn't used. Just copy the NetworkRecorder folder as is onto the clients, it must have the same NetworkRecorder.xml file. I am planning to use the host NetworkRecorder.xml file I just haven't done that yet.
