I am trying to connect MRP Live to Orbits, but I encounter an error message No RMonitor Broadcast Found.

What do I do if MRP Live won't connect to Orbits?

• Verify that Enable Scoreboard Feed is enabled on Scoreboard Settings on the Distribution tab of Orbits.

  

  

• Verify that the IP address in Scoreboard Settings is entered in the MRP Live client under Race Data.

   Note: If the MRP Live client is installed on the same machine with the Orbits Server, 127.0.0.1 is the most reliable IP address to use.

   Note: Sometimes Orbits will list more than one IP address. When deciding which one to use remember that IP addresses starting with 169.254 known as link local IP addresses, typically indicate a problem with the network connected to that adapter. You will probably want to choose a different IP address and/or fix the network configuration.

• Verify that the TCP/IP Port in Scoreboard Settings is entered in the MRP Live client.

  

• Verify that the Scoreboard feed IP address is accessible from the machine running the MRP Live client. 
  • There are a number of reasons why a machine may not be accessible such as:
    • A misconfigured router.
    • An inaccessible network segment or LAN.
    • A firewall or antimalware application is blocking the connection.
  • A simple way to test accessibility is to use the Windows command prompt and use tracert.
  • If the MRP Live client is on the same machine as Orbits, using a localhost IP address (127.0.0.1) in the MRP Live client (NOT the Orbits Server) will often bypass potential issues.
