[QUOTE="SquareEyes, post: 227859, member: 55055"] A deep ping allow a remote client to check if the Server is running, not just at the process level but internally too. I'm sure the TVClient is already using something similar. I'm running a client server setup in my house and given all the problems with TVServer stability, I've written a script which helps keep things working. If anything goes wrong (eg freeze), I hit the panic button on my remote and this kills and restarts the TVService on the server and also kills and restarts MediaPortal on the client. Girder is used to assign a remote button to this script. The restart takes about 10 seconds so is a fairly good workaround for me. I would like to improve my script so it polls the TVService using a deep ping and therefore automatically restarts the components for me. If anyone is interested in my current script let me know, I'm happy to share it. [/QUOTE]
