1.0.1 to 1.0.2 upgrade removed TV Server (1 Viewer)

[mrspock]

Hi.

I just noticed about the 1.0.2 and upgraded my system with no problems. But when trying to use it, I noticed that the TV was not working and the TV config gives a Windows system error.

In the services panel control I noticed that the TV service was stopped. So I tried to start, but it says that file could not be found. So I went to the ...\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal TV Server and noticed that several files were missing (I compared it with my back-up 1.0 installation) including tvservice.exe, directshowlib.dll, dvblib.dll, Gentle.Common.dll and a lot more... (in fact, just 16 files keep in that folder).

So I think that the only solution is a whole MP new installation... I hope to keep the configuration...

Edit: Workaround to solve my problem:
Trying to reupgrade was not possible, because the installer detects this version already installed.
Trying to do a full installation was also not possible, because the installer detects that everything is installed (may be a fix installation to fix a corrupted system could be useful?).
So I unistalled TVServer (from the programs menu), run again the 1.0.2 instalation program and now it detects that the tvserver is missing and reinstalled it. So now it seems that everything is working again...

thanks i'm having a similar issue where the TV service hangs after upgrade to version 1.0.2. Basically, when XP starts the TV service doesn't start even after a manually attempting to start the service. The error in the TV mod within MP notes that it cannot connect to the DB(MS sql express) and to chk the firewall settings ( XPSP3 firewall is disabled )

Is it possible to do a uninstall\reinstall of just TV server?

Everything worked great prior to upgrading in v1.0.0 but after upgrading I started seeing these issues. thanks

My issue was related to the ms sql password that somehow got corrupted during the upgrade. to reset i refered to the MS KB322336
