    Hi

    First, please don't double-post. It comes across as nagging. If you want a thread or post moved, just ask - we can do it easily. Sometimes it takes more than 24 hours to get an answer, as those of us who often answer have lives outside of MediaPortal. Your patience would be appreciated. I've deleted your other thread that was here:

    To the issue...
    You seem to have database access problems. From the log file:

    ...and from the Windows application event log at the same time:
    "01/05/2016 8:52:51 PM";"MySQL";"(0)";"Information";"Sort aborted, host: btvserv1, user: root, thread: 166, error: Query execution was interrupted, query: select idProgram, idChannel, startTime, endTime, title, description, genre, state, originalAirDate, seriesNum, episodeNum, episodePart, episodeName, starRating, classification, parentalRating from Program order by endTime desc limit 1 offset 0For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://www.mysql.com. ";"3221225572"

    Some other curiosities noticed in the Windows application event log:
    [collapse]"01/05/2016 8:50:23 PM";"MySQL";"(0)";"Error";"Plugin keyring_file reported: 'keyring_file initialization failure.

    Sorry I'm not much good with database issues like this. All I can really do is point out the things that stand out to me. I can see that the "keyring_file" and "aborted connection" messages in the Windows application event log seem to have started after you upgraded MySQL from the version we supply with our installer (5.6.10) to 5.7.11 on 31 March, so if this guide updating issue only started in the last week then perhaps you can ignore them.

    The final and most important thing I note is that there was an unexpected shutdown on 29 April:
    "29/04/2016 12:00:51 AM";"EventLog";"(0)";"Error";"The previous system shutdown at 11:58:51 PM on ‎28/‎04/‎2016 was unexpected.";"2147489656"

    As you probably remember, file corruption caused by an unexpected shutdown was the cause of the problems in your support request at the end of march. The latest unexpected shutdown is probably the cause of this guide update issue too. I strongly advise you to figure out and eliminate whatever's causing these unexpected shutdowns. If it's your habit to hard-reset the PC when you run into trouble, I'd advise to try to break the habit and find a better solution that isn't going to give you these nasty after-effects.

    Thank you for confirming that U&W works for you. I ended up deleting U&W and rescanning for channels. That fixed the issue.

    4.5 is really old. I'm not sure 4.5.5 even is a version that actually existed. You should be able to install .NET Framework 4.8.0 on Windows 7 SP1
