MediaPortal Version: 1.1.2 Stable & 1.2 Alpha (Same problem on both versions)
MediaPortal Skin: Default
Windows Version: Server 2008 R2
CPU Type: Intel Core2Duo 8400
HDD: 2TB WD Green
Memory: 4GB DDR2
Video Card: ATI 5570

This is on a Fresh Install of Mediaportal. I've tried both 1.1.2 and 1.2.0 with the exact same result. I have a working Mediaportal on another Windows 7 computer without issue. The config gets to the "Adding Filters session" Then produces the error below. Interestingly, the TV Server config loads up without issue.

I've read the BugReport guidelines but unfortunately debug mode doesn't seem to generate anything for the Config, so I'm posting the information I have inline to this post, I hope that's ok.

Code:
Description:

Here's the configuration.log file. (The current attempt was on 1.2.0 but the exact same log and issue was on 1.1.2 as well.)

    Hi there

    I suspect you have a "bad" video codec, or that you have installed and then uninstalled a video codec (possibly as part of a codec pack) that hasn't been unregistered properly. Posting logs from debug mode would have at least told us what codecs you have installed. Was there anything in the MediaPortal error log?

    [Edit: I'd just like to remind you that your operating system is not supported, so technically you shouldn't be posting bug reports.]

    Thanks for your response.

    I just did a complete maximum uninstall of Mediaportal 1.2 and reinstalled 1.1.2 fresh, encountering the same error.

    I tried using the Debug tool to just export all currently present logs, and got an Error saying MediaPortal.xml doesn't exist in the UserData directory C:\ProgramData\Team Mediaportal\Mediaportal\Mediaportal.xml

    Could this be the reason the config is crashing, and is there anywhere you can direct me to fix this?

    I understand the OS isn't officially supported, but any direction would be very appreciated, I've been using Mediaportal happily for about 4 years and am now trying to change up a bit of my setup, I would really like to keep using it on my Server if possible.

    Thanks for your time.

    I tried uninstalling all my Codecs, then cleaned up any other installed codecs using AnalogX DXMan, and I still have the same issue with the config crashing.

    Found the solution in another post, ran Filmerit - Filmerit and that fixed it!

    Thanks!

    Hi again

    Sounds like it was a codec problem like I said. Thanks for reporting back. :)
