hi, I have spent the last 48 hours unsuccesfully trying to get MediaPortal Tv server with an HDPVR working in a remote WIndows 7 xbmc PVR. Everything seems ok on the server, but when I try and connect on the remote maching I get told the tvserverxbmc version is too old.... the version I am using is the 1.2.2 with the 1.2.2 xbmc plugin.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times, once unfortunately wiping out the entire MY Sql database that I use to sync the libraries.
I am not that worried about changing channels at this stage just getting a picture (not even HD as I have it connected to the composite)
I have googled this error and only found seemingly unreleated incedences. Any help greatly appreciated!

an update to my problem.....
if I use the standalone TVServerXBMC.exe I can connect and it seems fine - need to sort out the quality but thats the next thing..... if I go back to the TVServerXBMC.DLL no joy and it reports the version is too old!

thanks for the advice, although having seemingly wiped the MYSQL database out twice now reloading the app (I use it for syncing databases as well) I reckon unless someone has a tip as how to easily upgrade from 1.2.2 I will leave it alone (at least it now works - with a couple of minor annoyances - HD PVR aspect ratio, and Hauppauge not blasting)
thanks
Jonathan

I am using For the Record on Windows 7. I need clarification as to how to upgrade the TVServerXBMC. I am not sure if I place the tvserverxbmc dll's with the xbmc addon or somewhere in the ForTheRecord installation.

The TVServerXBMC.dll is a plugin for the MediaPortal tvserver, so if you are using ForTheRecord Argus as backend, you don't need this DLL.
For ForTheRecord Argus, make sure that you have installed the latest version and that you've enabled the (Cassini?) Webserver during installation.

has anyone got the HD PVR working with channel changing on MP "TV Server" using xbmc front end or am I trying to achieve the impossible?

@tytherman: works fine here using the tsreader version of the MediaPortal pvr addon but don't enable the fast channel switching option under the MediaPortal pvr addon settings.
If it does not work for you, could you enable xbmc debug logging and post a xbmc.log file on pastebin.com and a link here?
@skippy: You don't need to enable the MediaPortal addon if you are using ForTheRecord Argus. If you are using MediaPortal + ForTheRecord plugin, then I'm not sure whether this will work. It could work with the ForTheRecord addon but this combination is not really tested.

Magro, apologies but I am very new to mediaportal so to be honest don't know what the tsreader version is? Surely the channel switching is done by the server? I can't get that part working! Just when I think I have everything set up a new feature like pvr comes along and I spend days trying to do the simplest tasks! :-(
I have tried usbuirt, mce transceiver and hauppauge but cannot get any to change the channels.

tytherman,
tsreader version refers to one of the two version of the xbmc pvr mediaportal add-on, the other one being the ffmpeg version. You should find it in xbmc under system -> add-ons -> installed add-ons -> pvr clients.

Magro, I only have 4 options under pVR addons; Mediportal FFMPEG; Mythtv, Tvheadend, and VDR Vnsi.
