Hi,
Like everyone I installed RC2 as soon as it got out and things worked just great at the beginning. Therefore I decided to put the PC into the living to have it used by the family.
I had the problem though that I could not correctly terminate a fullscreen MP with its overlay screen always remaining on the TV and masking all Windows applications. The only way out was to reset the PC. Unfortunately continously re-launching MP has now led to a reduced stability. When no TV is activated for some time (where "some" varies) it is impossible to re-activate TV. In these cases MP seems to be hanging and does not react to any further user input.
The TV error.log (attached) shows that no database connection is possible. The phenomenon is precisely what I experienced during earlier RC1 SVN tests with identical error messages. Reseting the PC restores full functionality until TV Server is again left idle. EPG grabber is on with its standard settings.
I uninstalled and re-installed MP and TV Server yesterday evening but this did not cure the problem. I am more than willing to also uninstall SQLServer 2005 and do the whole install from scratch once again. Nevertheless I would like to understand what is happening and would be very grateful if somebody gave me more insight into this. I did uninstall SQLServer before, but this is cumbersome since the automated uninstall does not entirely remove the software. Manual registry clean was necessary in my case and I would like to avoid this if ever possible.
Regards, Johannes
