NPVR is not starting the Tuner when connected via web

[Baseman]

Hello guys,
I have really a strange problem. I want to run a mediaserver with NextPVR. I installed the programm on the server under Windows 7 and made configurations. Then I installed XBMC on the client including the NextPVR addon on a second computer (Vista). As a first test I tried to establish a LAN connection. I configure the Windows Firewall. I enter the LAN IP in the addon of the client. Everything works fine. LiveTV works in XBMC. Then i tried to connect the client via Internet. I get a DynDNS for my router IP and enter this in the Addon (I also tried the IP of the router). I configure Portforwarding in the Router for port 8866. I checked allow Remote control in NextPVR settings (otherwise nothing works...no connection to the server). Entered a Username and Password for Web Login. When i try to connect to the server via XBMC addon client nothing happens. After a long time of waiting there was a message "Tuner is not longer connected", althoug all EPG data was loaded before and I can decide a channel. Because I saw in many posts that this could be a security settings problem. I switched temporarily the firewall on the router and on both computers, client and server, off, but the behaviour is the same. It seems that the client could not start the tuner via web? I also tried X-NEWA addon for XBMC to get access to LiveTV via web, but it is the same thing. The EPG Data is loaded, but LiveTV could not be started. A last try was to use VLC, to enter a Stream manually, but again no live TV stream, althoug i could see from the VLC logs, that a connection was established. It says NextPVR ist forbidden. I hope anybody has an idea. I sit the whole day to solve this, but no success. If you need any data for analysis, fell free to ask.

You may need to set <AllowRemoteAPI>true</AllowRemoteAPI> in config.xml.

If that does help, I'd check whether requests are making it into the web.log. If not, then it's something like firewall or port forwarding on your router, and the request is never making it as far as NextPVR.

Ok, the setting of Remote control is ticked in NextPVR menue and I can also find this in the config file. As i said, I also tried to turn off firwalls and to activate all ports for the server but the tuner did not start, as i can see from a LED. So I think it could be a NextPVr problem. I attached the weblogs for further analysis.

What are all the VLC messages in the log? The NextPVR XBMC addon doesn't use VLC. Maybe this is to do with X-NEWA? Unfortunately I'm not well placed to answer questions about X-NEWA.

Best bet is to restart the recording service (to empty the logs), then try watching a channel via the XBMC addon, then repost the web.log/nrecord.log.

That looks like X-NEWA Web client alright.

I see "Not allowing internet based streaming request from: ......" throughout the logs,

I think there are NextPVR and NEWA changes required to open this.

Ok, lets have a try with a fresh log file. I tried to connect to the server 2 times.

2014-03-17 19:54:57.635 [DEBUG][4] Not allowing internet based streaming request from: 91.7.80.55

You need <AllowRemoteStreaming>true</AllowRemoteStreaming> in config.xml in the <WebServer> section.
