Rather, the point of reading them is that you'd understand the general cause, that the problem is not necessarily related to MP or TV Server, and how to get more information about the base cause if/when it occurs next time.I agree.Excellent. I'll be very interested to see the results. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />I cannot be 100% sure. After all, I've never seen this problem before (...which is another reason why I have my doubts that this problem is in any way related to MP or TV Server). If I had to guess I'd say TV Server would probably continue current recordings... but possibly not start new recordings or stop the current recordings at the scheduled time. Without access to the database the scheduler can't check the stop time for current recordings or start time for new schedules. Live TV would be toast as you saw.For a TV Server problem that will mostly either be overkill or ineffectual.Overkill because a TV service restart resets internal state in exactly the same way as a PC restart... except faster.Ineffectual because if the issue is related to persistent state (eg. database content) then neither a TV service restart or PC restart will have any effect. Only intervening directly with [for example] the database would solve such a problem.Of course rebooting can help with environmental (eg. hardware, Windows etc.) and unusual TV Server issues... but I think my point still stands: restarting the TV service will be faster and perhaps just as effective as rebooting while potentially preserving vital information about the cause of the issue, and if restarting the TV service doesn't help you have the ability to reboot at any time.PC reboot and TV service restart have exactly the same effect on TV Server, so for that reason I disagree. As above: if a restart of the TV service doesn't fix a problem then:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">if the problem is with TV Server, it is very unlikely to be solved by a PC restart</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">if the problem is environmental (ie. hardware, Windows etc.), a restart may be necessary... but attempting a TV service restart first can give you information about the problem</li> </ul>As above: yes, absolutely.Yes it would. Same as restarting the PC... except faster.</blockquote>
