MBC "Cannot contact MB Server or the internet"

[Starlionblue 82]

Greetings.

 

I'm trying out MB Classic. It works in Media Center, as in I can log in, browser and play content. My content is on a NAS and MB Server is running on another machine.

 

The problems start when I run MBC Configurator I get an error. See attached screenshot. MBC Configurator then works, sort of. When I click "More Plug-Ins" the list is blank. See attached screenshot.

 

A related issue is that in MB Server I can't find plugins either. See attached screenshot. Sometimes I get a yellow error, but it flashes by too quickly to read. MB Server updates do download, however.

 

Any help much appreciated.

In a possibly related issue, I just tried to enter my supporter key but I get "Missing or Invalid". Can't reach the MB server again?

If you bring up the plug-in catalog in the dashboard, does it work?

Hi ebr.

 

You mean the dashboard on the web interface? "Installed server plugins" seems to work but since I can't install plugins it is empty.

 

I finally managed to read the error that flashes briefly when I bring up the plugin catalog screen. "The remote server returned an error (417)"

do you use a proxy server?

[Starlionblue 82]

I don't use a proxy. I do suspect my ISP has some sort of accelerator/proxy somewhere though. Never affected things like this though.

No, I mean the plug-in catalog.  The button next to "Installed Server Plugins".

 

If you are seeing a "yellow message" then you are talking about the dashboard/web interface, not MBC and this sounds like a global problem with you getting to our server.

[Starlionblue 82]

Yeah I get the yellow message at the catalog.

 

Agreed about it being a global issue since I can't download plugins in mbc either.

 

I'm baffled.

Try turning off firewalls or virus protection just to see if one of them is messing with it.

I shall when I get back home. Might be after Xmas. Will let You know.

 

Thx for help so far!

I've tried turning off Firewall and Antivirus. Still the same issue. 

[Starlionblue 82]

Ok so this is weird. In Internet Options, under the "content" tab and "LAN Settings", I unchecked "Automatically Detect Settings". That solved it in both MediaBrowser web interface and MBC Configurator. 

 

If I re-check it the problem returns. Any idea why?

[Starlionblue 82]

Sorry. Internet options I'm Windows Control Panel.
