I have a HD Homerun Flex 4K. One JRiver MC instance on a Windows system is using it to record TV programs. The library is shared through DLNA.

If I use MC as a client on one Linux system, with no video tuner or capture hardware, I am able to tune to TV channels successfully, without having ever run Television setup.

If I use MC as a client on one Windows system, and try to tune to a TV channel, I get the error that "no television tuner is available to fulfill your request". The Windows client does have many video devices. However, I have disabled them all under Television / Manage devices, so the client should not attempt to use them. It should use the tuner shared by the server.

What am I missing ?

What works for me is:
1. On the Server machine ensure that Tools > Options > Television > Advanced > Allow setup on clients => is not checked.
2. On Client machines do NOT run Tools > Options > Television > Setup. If you already have run TV Setup then do a Reset, and delete any Tuner Profiles on the Client machines.

Reboot the tuners and the Server machine, then reboot the Client machines.

Hi,

Thanks for your response. More inline.

What works for me is:
1. On the Server machine ensure that Tools > Options > Television > Advanced > Allow setup on clients => is not checked.

That was already unchecked.

2. On Client machines do NOT run Tools > Options > Television > Setup. If you already have run TV Setup then do a Reset, and delete any Tuner Profiles on the Client machines.

That was previously run. I tried to clear up everything, but that sent changes to the server and reset all the settings there, not on the client side. I had to restore them from a backup.

Reboot the tuners and the Server machine, then reboot the Client machines.

I rebooted them both, but unfortunately, there was no change in behavior.

What's the rationale for the reboots ? Shouldn't exiting and restarting JRiver MC on both sides be enough ? I have other daemons running on the host that runs JRiver MC server, so I prefer to avoid it.

How/who do I ask to do this ?

Clearing TV setup and Tuner profiles on a Client should not ever do anything to the setup on the Server.

I recommend reboots because changes to Client/Server configurations like these might not take effect until the MC Server Service is restarted and the Client re-connects to the newly restarted Service.
