[solved] Cant get Argus XBMC client to work

Post by map_se » Tue Dec 11, 2012 1:09 pm

I have a Argus server/client on a windows XP computer. On this computer xbmc Argus plugin works fine with default settings.
But i am trying to get XBMC argus plugin to work on a nother computer with no luck. I have tryed with two different computers with same result . One with windows 7 and another with windows XP.
On both computers the Argus client is working ok.
The computers are on the same network and firewall is off.
The server computers IP is 192.168.0.107 and the user name is Marcus and there is no password
here is part of the XBMC log from the windows / computer

21:49:45 T:2592 INFO: AddOnLog: ARGUS TV client: Connect() - Connecting to http://192.168.0.107:49943/

What could be the root course of this problem ?

Hi map_se & welcome to Argus!

That's really strange...
Did you use default values for your Argus PVR Client and only changed the IP address of your Argus Core Server within the PVR Client's config?

You say the firewall is off. Is that for the server/client machine also?

Can the client machines at least access the shares on the server?
You can fix it, or you can fix it until it's broken. I usually choose the latter.

Server: WHS 2011. Hauppauge HVR 2200. Avermedia A835. ArgusTV Server. EPG Collector.
Clients: Win7 64bit. MediaPortal. ArgusTV Client. StreamedMP.

You should try the following URL in your browser:

Code: Select all

http://192.168.0.107:49943/ArgusTV/Core/help
That should give you a very simple text page starting with the words "Operations at http://192.168.0.107:49943/ArgusTV/Core ". If that does not work you have some network issues. Firewalls, packet filters, or other 'helpful guardians' ;)
