Hm, I have a laptop with .289 connecting to a desktop PC with .289 without problems - maybe something changed that's getting blocked by a firewall?

Library Server problem
« Reply #2 on: June 11, 2005, 06:33:15 am »

just to be sure, I reinstalled on both pc's again and rebooted again

I always see

failed to connect to a server
reason unknown
url:http://192.168.1.100:81/GetLibrary

when I select 'search for media servers'

So it did find the correct address of the server ?

no difference if I manually create a library pointing to the server.

there are no firewalls set up on either pc (nothing changed since v286)

Is something else running on port 81?  You could try a different port.

tried it.... make no difference (I didn't change anything but upgrade from 286)

I changed from 81 -> 1200

and now if I select 'search for media servers'

I now see :

failed to connect to a server
reason unknown
url:http://192.168.1.100:1200/GetLibrary

so the client did see the new port...

I must say, I keep having problems with Media Server with the last couple releases and reported on it before. I tought it is now fixed with 289.  But: For some odd unexplainable reasons, sometimes it still just wont connect. Same error as reported above. At other times, it works seamless. But there must be a bugger somewhere. It is a nerve consuming excercise trying to connect x-times before it finally gets the library.

another problem I have with previous releases, is

that a couple of times per day,

ONLY when the track is finished and it changes to the next one,

then sometimes the client  MC stops playing.

I have to select 'next track' -> 'previous track' to make it play the track....

It doesn't always happen.... it seems random...

I can't see any obvious network problems that would cause this.

problem solved....

it was a weird one. I saw an error in the log file on the client that the network was inaccessible.... (although everything looked ok, ping, internet explorer, windows networking etc.)

I reinstalled the XP network drivers and then everything worked (v290)
