[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1176962, member: 82144"] [USER=151666]@gpnash[/USER] Thanks for the additional details. The link I already provided should cover it: [URL]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/forms/mp1-bug-report.1/respond[/URL] As indicated: [LIST] [*]forum profile system specifications should be filled in (you've done this (y) ) [*]fill in the title, description, and steps to reproduce [*]attach log files; [URL='http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/Forum/How_to_post_logs']instructions[/URL] for acquiring log files are linked [/LIST] From my perspective it'd probably be best and most productive to start by reporting one problem - the TV Server crashing/dying/abending problem. That seems to be the most critical, and the root of the other problems that occur when the tuner is left in an inconsistent state (i.e. TV Server says the tuner is idle, but it's not => unknown errors etc.). Don't worry if you don't know how to trigger the crash. That's normal and absolutely fine. In the report: [LIST] [*]Say roughly how frequently TV Server crashes/abends (X times per day/week/fortnight/month). [*]Say what you're doing in MediaPortal when TV Server crashes/abends (or rather, when you notice it has crashed/abended). For example, does it happen: [LIST] [*]when you're trying to change channel [*]all of a sudden when you're happily viewing live TV [*]when you leave MediaPortal for a few hours, or overnight, or for a few days [/LIST] [*]Say when the problem last occurred. The more specific you can be in terms of date and time, the better. [*]Provide log files. Use the supplied Watchdog tool (linked in the start menu) with option 3 ("export all currently present logs") to get a zip file containing all your log files, then use the "upload a file" function to attach the zip file to the report. Hopefully the log files will show at least one instance of the crash occurring. [/LIST] That would be an excellent starting point. :) Please don't feel obliged to contribute financially. We really appreciate it when people do decide to do that, but it's not expected. We provide support regardless. Actually, reporting problems is a really helpful way to contribute in itself because it helps to make MediaPortal better for everybody. :) [/QUOTE]
