Again, not very sure I'm being helpful here, so please tell me if I'm not!
I'm interested in your observation that the vCard Name property goes off and uses static methods from the public RemoteControl class. Given the scheduler code appears to be running on a separate thread, I was wondering...
Since there are no log messages after that, are you thinking the scheduler thread is hanging on one of two statements below?
foreach (VirtualCard vCard in vCards)
{
Log.Write("debug: card {0}",vCard.Name)
Hopefully this is helpful. :)
Sorry but logs go back to before service upgrade (which was about 8pm 23rd Dec).
Don't know if this is the most useful section, but I was interested that the "card list count" drops from 1 to 0 in this short section. Unsure if that is to be expected.

Thanks for the updated code. I'm now running with latest 1.5 v3 debug service. Will post results shortly. (Excited.)
For info, I tidied up the channels being grabbed to avoid a duplicate entry in EPG data, and that didn't help. (Doesn't look related to the logs / code you're focussed on...
Managed to reproduce the error again, this time with debug version of TVService.exe (16Nov) this evening. Took a fair while longer to reproduce this time around (thought I was clear for a moment). Logs attached anyway.
I'll be trying tidy-up of channels to avoid duplicates in XMLTV file. See if...
Debugging TVService.exe installed. Trying a few recordings. Interested to note the comment above. Found two channels with similar channel ID (case difference only).
If issue repeats, will submit logs and then try to tidy up this pair of duplicates.
<channel id="e4-E4">

Thanks for your update razr. I'm still not having luck on Windows 8. I'm also impacting family users and want to avoid unnecessary disruption. Good to hear that Windows 7 could be an option. The TV server is also my main desktop PC so a complete rebuild would be frustrating.
I haven't tried...
For info, I also updated my TBS 6981 driver to very latest version for Windows 8 specifically. No fix there either.
How did Windows 7 work for you razr?
DVB change has not resolved the issue (recurred today).
Killing TV Service again and disabling Comskip Launcher this time. Keeping Win 7 compatibility mode for now. Will report back.
OK. Thanks. Disabled "Allow service to interact with desktop".
The issue recurred with Windows 7 compatibility mode set on the EXE for TVService.
I have Comskip launcher set to run on recording end. I also have DVB EPG grabbing while timeshifting / recording enabled.
Decided to disable DVB...
Having read through the other thread, and taking into account comments about this being a Win8 issue, I am going for setting "TVService.exe" to run in compatibility mode as Windows 7. I have the service running as per default installation (Local System Account with "Allow service to interact...
Thanks. I can confirm my account changes have not resolved the issue anyway. Tried different things and it keeps happening, fairly randomly. Will look at these other threads.
Problem has repeated since reverting to default "System" logon with "Allow service to interact with desktop" set.
Last week, it recorded Homeland for about 22 hours. Tonight, the recording continued for 30 minutes after program ended. Selecting to stop the recording hung the MP client. I attach...
Brief update on my testing. Workaround in place has worked for a few days. Reverted my account to System tonight. Started recording something (already started) and it stopped. I've set a couple more things to record. Will see if the error returns and, if so, post logs.
One thing I did wonder...
Hi
Very interested in this thread. I had similar issues and have had some success by changing the service account for the TV service. Needs more testing...
I'm a relatively new user and have installed MP 1.5 in a multi site setup. I have the full install acting as TV server mostly running on...
