System.xml gone missing

[moltas]

I really don't know what I did. I have been using mp 0.2. rc2 and am impressed how stable it is (was) but this morning when I started my telly I couldn't get any tv channels to work. I found them and I had the tv-guide working but the tv was as black as black can be. I tried to restart MP but it didn't help. I restarted the computer and Now I can't even start MP.

I reinstalled MP 0.2 RC2 and it worked but when I run the setup i crashes.

Some progress...I did the setup wizard without autotuning since it was at that stage it had crashed. I wanted to get to the "real" setup so I just pressed next without entering anything. I then opened the setup and went through all the things in the tree and now I could autotune. I now have MP up and running but I feel a bit scared that it will crash again :?

The same thing happened once again. It so easy to reinstall MP so it's no big deal (I know it's a release candidate) but still a bit annoying. Doesn't anyone have had this problem or perhaps knows whats going wrong?

Hi Moltas

Sounds like a corrupted database, did you delete all the db files out of MP/database folder after uninstalling and have you a backup that you could restore/ overwrite files from before you had problem, just seen your new message now its a 2 person thing.

Never be lonely use MP

Yeah I guess it has to do with the database but the strange thing is that I didn't do anything special prior to the problems. I watched a TV and tried to change the channel or something and *bang* it was all messed up.

I wish that i could reproduce the problem but I really have no idea what I did.

Ohh...by the way, your sig almost paralyzed me Paranoid Delusion. I got stuck for five minutes and woke up by the phone
