As the title says, I stopped LiveTV with the remote and MP crashed. Watchdog popped up and then I also saw a .NET error and Watchdog said it couldn't access the, I think it was, TSWriter.log as it was locked/in use, although it seems to be in the attached logs anyway.

Just happened again. I stopped LiveTV and MP crashed. Didn't see any NET errors or problems with Watchdog this time though.

I can confirm this is happening every time I stop LiveTV and it returns to the EPG.

I've attached two further set of logs. I notice in the first one, the error.log refers to HTPCinfo so I've disabled that plugin now.

I'm also finding that on random occassions whilst I'm watching TV, the mouse cursor appears in the middle of the screen and I have to move it out of view with my trackball. It doesn't seem to come back once I've done that, at least not whilst I'm still watching the same programme.

Also, when MP crashes I don't have a taskbar and I have to manually kill explorer and start a new instance for it to re-appear. I've got "Hide taskbar in fullscreen mode" ticked but when I Close MP (to the tray) the taskbar is where it should be.

Your error.log contains the infoservice bug.
Try the fix below and report back so we can move and close this thread.

Thanks for the tip. I've updated InfoService to 1.6.1 and installed the latest dll now, but could I just disable the InfoService plugin to determine whether or not this is the cause of all my problems? Then, if all the problems disapper, I can re-enable it and see if things stay OK, but if the crashes persist, I guess that would confirm that there's other problems to look at, no?

MP just crashed again when I started playback of a recording-in-progress (before I read your post and updated/disabled InfoService). Actually it didn't totally crash, as it flashed up the crash box but then continued playing the recording OK. When I stopped playback, the crash box was sitting there waiting for me to click on it, and when I did MP closed and Watchdog opened, which then gave me a NET Framework error about being unable to access TSwriter.log in my temp folder. Logs attached.

Correct.

What is the status?

 

[doveman]

Well I've been running without these crashes for a while now, with InfoService disabled, so clearly that was the problem.

Now that I'm satisfied about that, I'll enable it and hopefully things will play nice for a while
