Live TV doesn't work on MPV

[bgowland]

Now I'm begining to rethink this, because the XP SP2 firewall has problems as I described - application excluded from the firewall sometimes continue to be blocked someway by it, and only work disabeling the firewall.

The problem with the standard XP firewall approach (as with a lot of s/w firewalls) is that it tries to make things easy for the novice user by allowing application/process level rules. This falls down where the core process spawns other processes or uses dlls for network comms. At this point you either need to find all possible processes that will be used and add them to the list or pinhole individual ports/protocols by creating a custom rule. This can be done with the XP firewall but my (brief) experience of it is that it isn't the easiest of s/w firewalls to do this on.

Cheers,
