I think it's best to use PsKill, and distribute it along with MediaPortal
PsKill v1.12
It's a part of PsTools, which is a part of Windows Sysinternals, which is originally made by Mark Russinovich

Uh, pressed accidently the "thanks" button... Most likely we cannot distribute that binary.

You're right.

But you can ask? Or just use tskill if possible

Something to test for:

replace the "taskkill..." line in restart.vbs with "shell.Run "tskill Mediaportal", 0, true"

as i stated before im having some issues with tvservice.

when i boot the computer the service is started but i get a "no free card available" message.

if i try to go to tvserver configuration i get a message saying to start tvservice, although its already running.

if i kill it and run it again, sometimes it loads correctly, but normally i get this message...

only option is to reboot and repeat everything until it loads correctly doing the same exact thing.

its running a T500 and ive tried setting the detect card from 0 seconds up to 240 seconds.

any idea why i get this message that unables me to even get into tvserver configuration?

is MP killed and restarted or not ?

Hi Chemelli,

tried it now and the result was simple... Mediaportal started But how can I manage now that it does when it's coming from Hibernate? Sorry if that sounds strange but I'm not a developer, so sometimes I need a kickin to find out what a solution for a problem could be If there is one for this behaviour I can do myself?

so far for your attention

Somehow the script seems to behave differently when PC wakes up from S3. I was able to reproduce the bug on my HTPC also. Could you test following, seems to work on my HTPC:

replace the "taskkill..." line in restart.vbs with "shell.Run "tskill Mediaportal", 0, true"

Hi tourettes,

tried and... wow It works! Mediaportal is starting up again after Hibernation.


a lot

If I recall correctly Sysinternals was bought by Microsoft a few years ago, so I doubt you'd have a lot of hope getting redistribution rights

Here Vista Sp1, the "C:\Program files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\restart.vbs works, but if I set on general option to restar on resume does not

Please, can somebody confirm to have this problem also ?

Watching a channel in client - in MyTV; click on "Record Now"; after a while, stop recording by click on "Stop Record".
After this, channel change no more possible; the "Unable to start timeshifting, No free card available" message showed.

In TvServer Config / Manual Control I can see that two TimeShifts of this channel are in progress - one for watching (user: pcname - ok) and other for recording (user: schedulerXX - this should be stopped - but it isn't)... After stopping these by clicks on "Stop TimeShift", MyTV in client is working normally again - as before the manual recording...

Thx
