[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1171442, member: 82144"] Okay. I've confirmed that the cause of this issue is that TV Server is running into the process memory limit on the given system. The exact limit varies depending on whether the process is 32 or 64 bit (TV Server has always been 32 bit), whether the OS is 32 or 64 bit, how much memory (RAM) the system has, and perhaps also how much memory other software is using. If you're interested, the following link gives a bit of background info: [URL]http://blogs.msdn.com/b/tom/archive/2008/04/10/chat-question-memory-limits-for-32-bit-and-64-bit-processes.aspx[/URL] All of this means that some systems may be able to collect EPG from your provider without any hassles, while other systems like yours will run into trouble. I've been able to apply and test some fairly minimal tweaks which seem to halve TV Server's memory usage during EPG processing. This enabled my system to collect the full 14 days x ~7250 channels worth of EPG data which your provider is broadcasting. Considering that my system - XP 32 bit, 4 GB memory - is fairly modest these days, and considering that your provider is almost certain to be the provider with the most EPG data on the planet, I'm hoping that my tweaks will be "good enough". Trying to reduce the memory footprint further... well, let's just say it's not going to happen easily or in a hurry. Without further ado, patched versions of a couple of TV Server's files are attached. All you have to do to apply the patches is: [LIST=1] [*]Open TV Server Configuration. [*]Go to the "manual control" section. [*]Click "stop service". [*]Close TV Server Configuration. [*]Open Windows Explorer. [*]Navigate to your TV Server install directory (typically c:\Program Files (x86)\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal TV Server). [*]Take a backup of TsWriter.ax and TVLibrary.dll. [*]Download and extract the attached replacements into the TV Server install directory. [*]Open TV Server Configuration (click "yes" to start the TV service). [/LIST] ...and you're done. Note the attached files are probably compatible with MediaPortal 1.6 and newer (...though I can't guarantee that they'll work with anything less than MP 1.12). Also, you'll have to re-apply this patch each time you update TV Server unless/until the patch is accepted for inclusion in TV Server. Please let me know if the patch works for you. Regards, mm :) [/QUOTE]
