Hi guys,

I have a great problem concerning mediaportal. I set up a new windows installation and a fresh mediaportal installation including the latest svn release.

But when I browser through the different plugins and menus mp freezes randomly and I have to shut it down and restart.

The error log file shows some problems with directx:

2007-09-09 19:45:55.750000 [ERROR][MPMain]: Exception :Error in the application.

However I have the latest directx release installed and the directx tests ran successfully.

Anybody has an idea what might be wrong?

there are a few things weird in your logs

1. Why do you have a TV-Server logs ?
2. why does your MediaPortal log shows that the inbuild TV-Engine is accessing your TV-Card? (thats realy bad if you use TV-Server)

it seems that something is quite wrong with this installation

please:

1. uninstall TV-Server
2. uninstall MediaPortal 0.2.3.0 RC2
3. DELETE the MediaPortal folder
4. Delete the TV-Server folder
5. install MediaPortal 0.2.3.0 RC2
6. apply latest svn build of MediaPortal
7. try again

Hi!

I have the exact same problem, and it seams regarding to my log, that it's DirectX 9c that's not "compatible" with the motherboard and Media Portal.

Any suggestions?

 

[PatrikN]

Your suggestion didin't work "Infinityloop".
The problem with the "freezing" stops for a moment when you "toggle" between "full screen mode" and "window".
But then it freezes after a moment again.

Hi,
PatrikN, attach your system specs & your logs(error.log doesn't tell everything) when this happens.

Regards
Roy

try reinstalling directX 9 redistributeable

 

[PatrikN]

Thanks for the advise, but the problem still exist.
I'll send the new logs if it's something you can see with your "trained" eyes.

Thanks for your devotion!

i am sorry but i have no clue what could cause these DX issue you encounter there.
last advice would be to do a clean installation of mediaportal without any community plugins / skins

1. uninstall MediaPortal
2. DELETE MediaPortal folder
3. install MediaPortal 0.2.3.0 RC2
4. try again (without any svn builds applied)

 

[PatrikN]

Hi infinityloop!

I'll test that when I have som more time. I'l tell you the result later.
Thanks!
