Title says it all. It's freezing up when I try to do almost anything to test if it's working. Client logs attached.

    Over and over again: unable to create/modify the TV Server database connection configuration file (gentle.config) and unable to connect to the TV Server database.
    [2014-07-19 15:53:16,464] [Error ] [TvClient-TvHome: HeartBeat transmitter thread] [ERROR] - Unable to create/modify gentle.config The process cannot access the file 'C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\gentle.config' because it is being used by another process., at System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String maybeFullPath)

    at System.IO.FileStream..ctor(String path, FileMode mode, FileAccess access, FileShare share)
    at System.Xml.XmlDocument.Save(String filename)

    Have you got that file open in another application?
    ...or is there some alternative reason why MediaPortal wouldn't be able to modify it?

    Nothing I'm aware of... I rebooted and went directly into MediaPortal and the same thing happened. I've tried running it as Administrator in case it was some weird Windows 7 UAC issues and same thing. Any ideas?

    That got it working, at least enough to navigate through the menu, but still locks up when I go to look at channels or the epg. It did initially fail to connect to the server so I disabled the firewall for now, I'll go add the permissions once it's working.

    Edit: I just tried again and it's failing to connect to the server.

    Drive space is not his issue
    Drive: C:
    Free Space: 267.6 GB
    Total Space: 610.5 GB

    this might a big part of the issue

    [2014-07-19 19:03:15,905] [Error ] [MPMain ] [ERROR] - Tv NotifyManager: Exception at timer_tick System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'Gentle.Framework.ProviderFactory' threw an exception. ---> Gentle.Common.GentleException: FATAL ERROR: No configuration store was found!
    Gentle is unable to continue!
    The handlers emitted the following error messages:
    Unable to create GentleSectionHandler for section named "gentle" in file "C:\Program Files (x86)\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\MediaPortal.exe.Config".
    Unable to create FileHandler for file Gentle.config.
    This usually means that the file could not be found in any of the default search locations.

    I have not experienced that myself, and I don't know of any reason why that might occur (but my knowledge of how TV Server works is not extensive). It is strange that you mention this because there are now four DVB-T channels in the UK that behave in the same way (this is new for the UK). I think that these might be some sort of...

    I have not seen that one but it is possible that after installing the 1.32 x86 version that I scanned and tested TV before installing the x64, but not sure it that would make any difference! I am currently testing an improved version but at this point it is still not clear how or when a fixed x64 version will be available.
