Client not playing recordings or live tv

[Steve Barnes]

I am tearing my hair out here. Clean install on two machines running win 7, which are themselves a clean win 7 install.
Main machine/server runs ok but have had several weird problems of an erratic nature.
The Main problem is the client, Lenovo laptop, Npvr loads fine but on trying to play recordings I get a blank screen. I had it all working fine a day or so back but then had a problem with the main machine while installing Catalyst Control Center and had to re-install windows but since then have had this problem.
Log shows "GetDuration returning 0" until I exit.
Here are the client logs..

Well, if only all problems were that easy. The moment I posted i had an epiphany....
I had been assuming a database problem when in fact it was as simple as a small typo. It appears that if you make an error in the Server name but have the Database share correct, then you can connect to the database for epg and recordings data but not actual recordings or live TV.
The next problem is the loading time for Npvr client which I seem to remember has been solved somewhere.
I hope my post helps someone with the same keybroad sklls.
