I've been rearranging my PC (physically) and had booted several times without the LAN cable connected and MP autostarted fine.

Then, when I rebooted I got a Windows error message saying "Mediaportal has stopped working" (it doesn't even load, I get this error as soon as I try and start MP). I get the same error if I try to load MP config. TV Server config still loads OK and I can manually start timeshifting.

Perhaps a reinstall will fix it, but something's obviously got screwed up and maybe the logs will show what. I think Mediaportal.log is from the last time it loaded successfully, as it doesn't get as far as creating any logs any more!

I tried reinstalling over the top of the existing installation, but got the same error about being unable to start MP when it was installing MP (before TV Server install).

Then I did a basic uninstall and a Fresh install of MP1.2B. Now MP and MP config works, as does TV Server config, but I get an error when I try and start timeshifting, so it's fixed MP and broken TV Server!

Hi doveman

Your database is marked as crashed. To fix it, open a command line and enter the following commands:

CD C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\bin
mysqlcheck mptvdb --auto-repair -e -u root -p

The default password is "MediaPortal" - case sensitive. The above assumes that your MySQL is installed to C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\.

devs: why it it always the Program table I wonder...

Cheers mate. That's sorted it. I vaguely that it would be a problem with the database, but hoped that would get wiped when I did a Full uninstall of MP.

Explains why I was getting errors about Program this and that when I tried to export with BackupSettings. Now everything's OK, I'll use it to export my settings just in case!
