MediaPortal sometimes freezes (1 Viewer)

[matejdro]

Lately, when waking HTPC from sleep, MediaPortal is frozen.

Including exported logs right after resume (I can't reproduce it intentionally, so I can't run debug mode separately).

Any idea what would that be? I tried reading logs manually and it seems that mediaportal freezes even before sleep and goes into sleep already frozen since there are practically no log entries at wake time except for WifiRemote which is probably running separately.

Your logs is full with this error:
[2014-01-25 16:28:51,281] [Error ] [PS StandbyWakeup] [ERROR] - PS: Cannot connect to local tvservice to load settings

Hour after hour after hour, so it seems it never connects.
Single seat setup....
Please test again with your firewall temperarily disabled. If that changes things, then check your firewall settings and see if port 31455 is open.
If that's not open, allow it.

Firewall is turned off already. Yes, single seat setup.

You got a whole bunch of nasty errors. Are you using IPTV? because that throws a whole bunch of graph errors

connection with tv server is completely gone. I think i would use the DeployTool (installer) to re-install MediaPortal.

Yes I'm using IPTV and I'm experiencing some troubles with it (completely MP-unrelated, VLC also has troubles). Could that cause freezing issues?

I already tried reinstalling and it did not help (I kept the data though).

You seem to have strange stuff going on with TCP/IP NetBIOS:

" 31.1.2014 2:12:35 ", " BROWSER " " ( 0 ) " " Information ", " The browser has forced an election on network \ Device \ NetBT_Tcpip_ { 251F0D59 - FA46 - 4B66 - B228 - 479E4BEED448 } Because a master browser was stopped . " " 1073749857 "

What kind of network adaptors are you using?
Are all network adaptors always connected/up?
Are the network adaptors configured with static IP addresses?

 

[matejdro]

Two adapters:

1. integrated one for IPTV (all settings static)
2. USB one for internet (DHCP, but IP never changes - set on router)

Both adapters are always connected.

Are the LAN drivers up to date?

What Antivirus and Firewall are you using?

 

[matejdro]

Yes up to date (system is quite old so there were no new drivers in a while). No antivirus or firewall.
