1.16 Pre Rel. crashes after w10 update (2 Viewers)

[AL0104]

Hello all,

I wonder if anyone can help a not very tech-savvy user like me.
MP 1.16 pre has been running perfectly on my PC, however Win 10 updated last night & since then MP crashes everytime when trying to access live TV or watch recordings.

(The windows update were Windows 10 Version 1607 for x64-based Systems (KB4013418) & Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1607 for x64-based Systems (KB4013429))

Event viewer shows the following two errors each time Mediaportal stops working -

Attach full log files please.
Use the Watchdog tool with option 1 to start MP in debug mode, reproduce the problem, then attach the zip file produced by the Watchdog tool.

 

[AL0104]

Thanks very much. I've attached the log files as instructed

I think the crash is happening because you haven't chosen/configured TV codecs (filters):
[2017-03-15 10:58:16,542] [Log ] [MPMain ] [INFO ] - VMR9: added EVR Renderer to graph
[2017-03-15 10:58:16,547] [Log ] [MPMain ] [DEBUG] - VMR9: Now active
[2017-03-15 10:58:16,551] [Log ] [MPMain ] [DEBUG] - VMR9: Renderer successfully added
[2017-03-15 10:58:16,562] [Error ] [MPMain ] [ERROR] - Failed filter: not found
[2017-03-15 10:58:16,573] [Log ] [MPMain ] [DEBUG] - TSReaderPlayer: UpdateFilters Video done
[2017-03-15 10:58:16,578] [Error ] [MPMain ] [ERROR] - Failed filter: not found
[2017-03-15 10:58:16,586] [Log ] [MPMain ] [DEBUG] - TSReaderPlayer: UpdateFilters Audio done

MP is trying to auto-load various codecs:
[2017-03-15 10:58:16,715] [ cb6c4f8] [ e10] - audPin:CompleteConnect() ok, filter: LAV Audio Decoder, iPosition: 0
[2017-03-15 10:58:16,829] [ cb6c4f8] [ e10] - audPin:CompleteConnect() ok, filter: MONOGRAM AAC Decoder, iPosition: 0
[2017-03-15 10:58:16,888] [ cb6c4f8] [ e10] - audPin:CompleteConnect() ok, filter: Microsoft DTV-DVD Audio Decoder, iPosition: 1
[2017-03-15 10:58:17,017] [ cb6c4f8] [ e10] - vidPin:CompleteConnect() ok, filter: LAV Video Decoder

...but this is error prone as you're finding out.
You really ought to choose codecs in MP Config as shown here:
TV Codecs - MediaPortal 1 - MediaPortal Wiki

 

[AL0104]

It seems odd because I already have my codecs in MP config exactly as in the link you gave (i.e., all LAV Video Decoder except for Audio renderer).
Also I don't understand why it is crashing now after months of working with no issues. I haven't changed any settings - the only thing that has changed was this win 10 update last night & now suddenly MP doesn't work.

It seems odd because I already have my codecs in MP config exactly as in the link you gave (i.e., all LAV Video Decoder except for Audio renderer).

MP Config selects the LAV codecs as defaults the first time you view the settings... and that's why you saw what you saw. Prior to that, MP itself was not using the LAV codecs. Many people get confused by this.

Let me put it another way: if MP had been using the LAV codecs, why would there be log entries mentioning "MONOGRAM AAC Decoder" and "Microsoft DTV-DVD Audio Decoder"? Answer is, there wouldn't be.

I know it's confusing. If you're confused, you may just have to trust me.

Also I don't understand why it is crashing now after months of working with no issues.

It's crashing because the update added, removed or changed codecs or codec dependencies that MP is or was trying as part of the auto-loading process that I mentioned.

I haven't changed any settings - the only thing that has changed was this win 10 update last night & now suddenly MP doesn't work.

Changes outside MP - including Windows updates, driver updates, other software being installed or removed, and other things too - can affect MP. I've seen this sort of thing time and time again. MP get's the blame and bad press... but it's not our fault.

 

[AL0104]

Yes, this appears to be a problem entirely caused by win10 auto updates.

It now looks very much as if the update hadn't completed correctly & this has screwed up other applications, such as Mediaportal. After about 10 restarts, windows update attempted to install again & once completed, MP started working as before.

Thanks very much for your help
Al

Seems to be related to this:

This dll is causing problems with other media software - PowerDVD, DVB Viewer, Power Media Server and even Windows Media Player. Opening a folder containing MPEG2 files crashes dllhost/COM Surrogate. Even the .953 cumulative update of March 14th 2017 contains this problem - CompPkgSup.dll has been updated. The only way to fix my problem was to replace the new file with the version from the .693 build.

Over at the DVB Viewer forum, there are even more complaints.
