With Windows 8.1 Firewall (server) turned on for a Private network the Client will show the EPG in TV Guide and Recordings will show the appropriate recordings. Live TV (or play a recording) will start off with 'please wait' followed by NextPVR Not Responding. Note: the client takes over 2-minutes to start.
Windows 8.1 Firewall (server) has 4 entries for Inbound Rules for NextPVR. Two have Profile for Private and two are for Profile - Domain. For Outbound rules there were no entries for NextPVR. Could this be what is causing the problem with Live TV? Note: Windows 8.1 does NOT pop up a window asking for permission to allow outbound connection for NextPVR.
Turning Windows 8.1 Firewall (server) off and restarting the Client, Live TV and playing a recording works. Also Client starts up in about 3 seconds.
I added an Outbound Rule On the Windows 8.1 Firewall:
Group: blank
Profile: Private
Enabled: Yes
Action: Allow
Override: No
Program: %ProgramFiles%\Users\Public\NEXTPVR\nextPVR.exe
Local Address: Any
Remote Address: Any
Protocol: Any
Local Port: Any
Remote Port: Any
Authorized Computers Any
Authorized Local Principals: Any
Local Users Owner: Any
Application Package: Any
Restart the Client. Client now starts up in about 3 seconds and Live TV and play a recording works.
