Trouble installing Next PVR on windows server 2012 R2 Essentials

[sharp76]

Hi guys,
2 days I'm trying to install NextVR on an Windows server 2012 R2 essentials machine, couldn't nail it!
What happened so far:
habe a digital devices S2 6.5 Tuner card
Clean install of Windows Server 2012 R2 essentials
all Updates installed
installed Windows server media pack, BDA support is present, DVBViewer an Recording Service ist working like a charm
quit all recording services, installed nextPVR
wanted to scan for Astra 19.2
and then..." Unable to start device...."
checked the logfile, there's an errormessage at the end
<2014-10-11 21:37:30.355 [ERROR][1] Unexpected error calling ReloadSettings(): System.Net.Sockets.SocketException (0x80004005): Es konnte keine Verbindung hergestellt werden, da der Zielcomputer die Verbindung verweigerte 127.0.0.1:8968>
seems i have a problem with my firewall or something similar, but even when I disable the firewall the same message appears

HELP ist appreciated

Is the recording service started? If so, it is almost always firewall. You need to allow NextPVR.exe NDigitalhost.exe and NRecord.exe through it. Easiest to send the whole log folder you missed two of these.

At this point I'd try reinstalling.

Hi Martin,
Thanks for hellping me!
I'd reinstalled NPVR now I have 2 Logs, still "Unable to start device"

So that has the recording service starting can you connect to the web server http://127.0.0.1:8866/public/Changelog.xml If so maybe check your hosts file to see if localhost has the ipv4 notation.

Hi Martin,
Conneting via Webserver ist working.
Here's my hosts file, maybe it will help!

It'd try to remove the comment for localhost on 127.0.0.1
