How can i restart tvservice from network computer (1 Viewer)

[Gixxer]

Hi, for unknown reasons, althought tvservice starts with the computer it does not work. if i terminate it and start it again everything works perfectly.

i wrote a bat file to restart it,

taskkill /f /im tvservice.exe
net start tvservice

the problem i have to go to the server computer, kick out anyone using it, stop mediaportal, and doble click the bat.

is there any way of doing this remotely from my laptop?

i think taskkill allows network kill but i cant make it to work.

thanks.

i know web interface has this function but i am also having trouble with make web interface work.

Have a look at psexec.exe from sysinternals. Might be what you need. Or try another one of the PsTools.

thanks, i manage to make it work !!

just in case anyone checks the post, i created a bat file in the server computer with this code:

taskkill /f /im tvservice.exe
net start tvservice

then another bat file in my laptop with this code:

psexec \\server -u htpcuser -p 1234 "c:\restarttvservice.bat"

You could also use the MP Web Interface - it's mostly about EPG & managing recordings but there's also a page on it to monitor/manage the TVService & reboot options.

MEDIAPORTAL - free MediaCenter HTPC Software - MP Web Interface

thanks for that, but as i said in my first post i cant get web interface to work.

i have posted to see if someone can help me about it cause web interface configuration does not connect with the database.

thanks anyway !!

Ahh, I had this problem, although you can do it manually, I too used a batch file, but I found that it has to be done in the right order otherwise it doesn't all come together.

Here is the bach file that I use, it stops the tvservice first of all, then it will reboot the client machine, then restarts the service for you, you will just have to stick in the name of the client machine and make sure you have full admin access the pc, to do this, from the media server pc from run type, \\nameoftheclient\c$
and when prompted type in for the username nameofthepc\username then the password.

Once this has been done the once you wont have to do it again unless you reboot the server Pc.
Here is the script.

cls


@echo off

@echo *************Revive satellite TV script*******************
@echo *********************************************************
@echo *********************************************************
@echo *************Reviving satellite TV system****************

pause

cls

taskkill /im TVService.exe /f /t
@echo The Tvservice has been stopped

pause

shutdown -m \\mediapc -f -r -t 00

net start tvservice
@echo The TV service has been started
pause


@echo Once the media Pc has rebooted you should be ok
@echo Press any key to exit

pause

exit





good luck
