[QUOTE="yahoodee, post: 702446, member: 22701"] [b]AW: How to troubleshoot TvService freezes due to bad EPG Data?[/b] Hi, after a lot of testing in the recent weeks i can make the following statements: Update to the Topic: I don't think that the crashes are related to bad EPG-Data. Steps to reproduce under the following circumstances: TVService: DVB-EPG: EPG grabbing while idle: activated Powerscheduler activated and configured as follows: Shutdown server after being idle for 2 minutes. Shutdown mode: Suspend. Prevent standby when grabbing EPG: disabled You have to make sure that you activate EPG grabbing for a specific amount of channels so that TVS starts grabbing EPG again after resuming the PC. (steps 4-5) I think that the TVservice crashes when it(you) do(es) 1. timeshifting 2. then grab EPG 3. let PC suspend due to inactivity 4. resume manually 5. let TVS grab EPG 6. then timeshifting fails and TVservice crashes [color=red][b]And here a more specific step-by-step guide to reproduce.[/b][/color] 1. net stop tvservice 2. Delete all EPG-Data from the database (ie MySQL Workbench: DELETE FROM [PROGRAM]) 3. net start tvservice 4. start SetupTV->Manual Control->Start/stop TS->close SetupTV 5. let PC get idle so it starts EPG grabbing automatically 6. leave PC idle so it can suspend due to inactivity 7. power on PC again 8. let TVS grab EPG (it should start automatically because the last grab only ran for 2-3 minutes and didn't finish) 9. start SetupTV->Manual Control->Start/stop TS Setup TV should now get inresponsive. net stop tvservice should not be able to definitely end the task so you have to kill it via taskmanager My HTPC runs rock-solid when i check "Prevent standby when grabbing EPG" or when i only use the TS-EPG-Grabber. Is somebody able to reproduce this issue with my guide? cheers Jens [/QUOTE]
