MediaPortal Config Hangs at splash, Videos do not play (1 Viewer)

[eldite]

Hi Everyone,

My first post and it's out of absolute desperation, I've done everything I can think of to get this working. I've been happily using media portal for quite some time and now, out of the blue it has stopped working.

Media portal loads successfully, then when you select any video, episode, movie to play it hangs and stops responding.

The configuration hangs on the "Adding filters section" in the splash screen.

The logs don't have any exceptions, I'm running TV-Series, myEmulators and MovingPictures. Windows 7 and the Alpha release.

Anyone got any ideas? I've attached my logs. I assume if I move all the dll files out of the plugin folders, it won't load the plugins. I've tried that and the config still crashes the same way.

Is there any way to 'reset' media portal back to it's defaults, but not the plugins? I tried to rename the mediaportal.xml file, but then it hung on 'loading configuration' instead.

I thought it could be a codec issue, but Media Player works ok and the problem is across the board (with all file formats/codecs).

Any troubleshooting tips you can give would be appreciated, I really, really don't want to have to re-install and then re-load all my eps/movies/roms etc again.

Cheers,
Henry.

The configuration hangs on the "Adding filters section" in the splash screen.

If deleting mediaportal.xml has not repaired things, then try filmerit (link in sig) and check for errors.

Thanks, but I've already tried filmerit. It found zero errors. Any other ideas?

I am also getting this error.

felmerit said i have 0 errors on 292. so that shouldnt be it

debug mode wouldnt work as I had no mediaportal.xml. thank you for the download
I also tried updating my directx, since in debug mode it also made dxdiag crash... now it works with no errors, loads MP fine.

but thats updated now too and still same issue, still crashing on the MP config

any help would be great! I also attached my debug logs

*edit*

Also here is the crash log from M$
