So RC1 has been perfect, up until now. It wont load! just crashes straight away. ALl I was doing before this was watching an avi file in MP. I quit MP. THen when i tried to re-launch it just crashed. Tried a reboot, clear cache etc.

Logs attached.

GF is gonna kill me.

Is it possible to just uninstall/reinstall the MP Client? I know it was possible before RC 1's deploy tool.

TV3 Server is perfect, its just the MP Client that crashes!

Thanks!

i have had this happening when the mediaportal.xml was corrupted...try and use the backup version in the same directory.

Hey, I tried that, still no luck!

The mediaportal.xml is only about 6 -8 lines long, is that about right?

re-installing MP Client.. seems to run now. WOuld be nice to know what caused this though!

[EDIT: how do i uninstall the TV Plugin? ]

 

[Paranoid Delusion]

You don't, uninstalling both still leaves the sql db intact (make sure you read uninstall option, no do not delete db), so not a problem when you reinstall.

 

[chefkoch]

you can extract the installers from the deploy tool with winrar or 7zip, there is an file: package-mediaportal.exe and package-tvserver.exe.
you can launch both or one of them, it will detect that the product is already installed and offers you to run uninstall, you can do that without loosing any settings or so, just read the message box carefully

after uninstallation is finished and closed the installer is back on top, and you can continue the reinstallation process.

or you simply uninstall it manually and reinstall it using the deploy tool
