Error analysis for TV-Server multiseat installations

With our new installer, the DeployTool, it is now very easy to install all kind of MediaPortal setups.

But there was still one small problem.

When you run the MediaPortal TV-Server on one PC and want to watch TV with MediaPortal from another one, then you have to install the MediaPortal client on this PC.

The installation is very easy, but because of firewalls it is possible that your client will not be able to connect to the MediaPortal TV-Server.

In our next release version, we now have an error analysis.

As soon as you enter MyTV on the Client PC, MediaPortal will ask you for the hostname of the Server PC.
After you entered the name, MediaPortal will test the connection to the Server PC.
If this test detects that some ports are blocked, then MediaPortal will show you a dialog window containing a list of these ports.

Now that you know why your client installation is not able to connect to the server, it is much easier to find the cause of this problem (mostlikely a firewall which is running on the client, and/or the server pc).

I would like to thank gemx for this great configuration enhancement.Smile
