I've just done a fresh install of Win7 x64 and MP and TV was working yesterday, so I don't know what's happened but I can't start the TVService anymore and there's lots of strange errors in the logs.

Not really what I need on NYE when I've got friends coming round soon, so if anyone could help me get it fixed quickly that would be great.

You do have MySQL installed? It seems that the problem is here.

Since you have 64 bit Windows, I think you need 64 bit MySQL as well. However, I'm not 100% on that.

Yeah, MySQL was installed with MP and it's in Program Files so should be 64-bit.

I can run a repair on the database just fine with "mysqlcheck mptvdb --auto-repair -e -u root -p --password=MediaPortal" as well.

I don't know if it's having issues with the Loopback adapter, but without being able to open TV Server config I don't know how I could change the server address again.

EDIT: Seems the problem is PowerScheduler++ as I reinstalled TVServer and it worked fine, until I reinstalled PS++ 1.2.5.6. I've reinstalled TVServer again and it's OK now. https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/...ediaportal-1-2-x-1-3-alpha-87446/index52.html
