I've never seen an error.log with so many errors.

For example,

2012-04-07 01:17:03.617700 [ERROR][MPMain(1)]: Exception   :Error in the application.

but you say you don't have a TV card. However, you seem to have installed the TV server and TV plugin. You do need the TV plugin for radio playback.

I'm at a bit of a loss to know what to suggest, since you say this is a clean install.

I'd try a complete uninstall of MP, then reinstall but don't install any plugins (I know you want them, but let's find the problem first). Run MP for a while and use music, videos, pictures, and see if you have problems. Then install the plugins one at a time to see when the problems start.

Music still plays and remote work, but GUI is frozen.

Was MP working before? Your video card seems very outdated to me..?
Maybe upgrade/downgrade your video card driver and see if it helps.

Yes I have been using MP with this hardware before.
TV was working OK, it could happen from time to time that it did report NO SIGNAL.. but usually it was working 80% of the time

The trouble before was the same as now, when I was starting MY-TV series, TRAKT, etc.. MP did freeze!

That is the reason I dont use MP as my TV-center any more, (my gf kill me if the TV freeze one more time) ..
So I only use MP to watch TV-series, movies, music and play tetris.
If MP can prove itself to NOT freeze I will one more time test it with the TV card.


Yes there IS a tv-card mounted in the computer, driver is installed (from windows update) but I dont use tv-card, no CAM inserted and no channel searched.
TV-Card is btw new, I bought it 4-5 months ago brand new.

Yes I can of course install MP one more time, but I doupt that will change the fact it WILL freeze as soon I install some plugins again.



This is a so clean install that is ever possible to get!
Totally new hard drive, and MP is the only software installed on the computer.
No settings have been touched from my side.

As I read on ATI site your graphics card is not supported on Win 7. Latest driver version supporting your graphics card is 9.3. You can try experiment with drivers, maybe you'll be lucky.

DUDE thank you
I throw out my "old" ATi x800 card (did not realize it was old, but my computer is 4-5 years old now)
And I put in a ATi 5800 (i think) twice as big with HDMI output, and sound trough the HDMI.

I started out gently with the Default skin.... so far so good..
Then tested Rockstar\last.FM, and multitasking with Tetris and news so far no problem..

Then the real test, while playing music I open settings and change to Black Glass Nova HD skin.
Open up last.fm, started to play music, started Tetris, started sub central to read different pages..
I scrolled from page 1-4 up and down up and down still no troubles..

Then back again into last fm and searching for music while I listen to a stream..
Then suddenly it all stopped ............. but then started again it was just last.fm that skipped to next song in the playlist


So thank you...
After 30-40 minutes with instant messing around it still does not freeze.
So this is promising I will put back in my TV-card and see if this will work out better than last time.

cheers..

Sadly the X800 would most probably work with a Basic MP setup, but anything graphically challenging would grind it to a halt.

Any way glad it is now sorted.

Yes I`m very glad, it did never hit me that the card was that old

Fun is over...

Suddenly: No TV channels !! ?
Error msg: Unknown error!

I did try to install new drivers on the TV Card, and the Error msg I got now is: No free Card?

Anyway, here is my Log files, but I will report back if there is any change after driver updates.
I`m also very unknown on what Decoders I should choose ?
ffshow, DVD, ATi-Decoder etc... I`m on very thin ice about this
