Win Constant dropping connection and "No PVR Client"
#1
I'm having a difficult time configuring the MediaPortal addon within XBMC. I have a MediaPortal server up and running 1.4.0. I have configures a Raspberry Pi with Openelec that works beautifully with it(Live Tv, Recording, Guide etc.) I then went to install it on my Window 7 x64 machine. I loaded XBMC 12.2 and the latest Mediaportal addon.

I'm getting two errors:

1. Constant dropping of the connection, every 30 seconds.
2. I get an error that says "No PVR Clients have been started yet"

Through searching I have seen that error reported but it was associated with much earlier releases. To be cautious I did a complete wipe of XBMC ans a fresh install and I still get the error and dropping connection. The MediaPortal PVR Client is enabled and configures with the server IP(192.168.0.121: 9896) Can someone please help me out. Sad See my log of the errors below.

The default port for the TVServerXBMC addon is 9596 (5, not 8) so if you didn't change the port settings at the TVServerXBMC side, you have to check your PVR plugin settings.
