    I've noticed this too. It's not always for me, just some times.

    I guess as an temporary fix, you can activate a lot of plugins. Each plugin causes the start up to be a bit longer.
    For it to happen to you all the time I am guessing you have very minimum plugins installed.

    You can also try these temporary tricks to make mp start later:

    Disable autostart from mp-settings and create a shortcut of mediaportal into Start->programs->Startup -folder.

    MP will start a little bit later.

    Try to boot now couple of times and check if this solved the problem, if that didn't help try to create a batch file like this:


    ping 1.2.3.4 -w 1000 -n 5
    c:\program files\.....\mediaportal.exe (I dont remember the whole path)


    and put that batch file into startup folder. WinXP doesn't have a sleep command so pinging a non existing address will make a delay - that why the ping is there.

    Hi,

    i use the batch inkl. attached file.

    The waiting for SQL and TV Service was from a tip from another mp user.

    I added the wait command, ´course my CAM wasn´t ready every time.

    I placed the batch in mp folder and have a link in window autostart.

    Regards,
    Erbsenkopp

    I too have seen this happen fairly often on my own install and just closing MP and restarting it does work. I'll too have to look into some delayed method of starting MP or maybe further prioritizing of SQL/TVE3 to make it start 1st.

    hm, weird. it can't access the file because its in use by another process... Wonder what that other one is. Can you try excluding the recording folder of all background processes?

    I meant use MP client to try to spot how it's requesting streams for specific channels and then try to do the same with VLC. TV Server development looks dead so I'm afraid you're going to have to figure that out by yourself if it's even possible.

    here is a small update: it is probably not due to the Windows update. I ran a new transmitter scan and got the same result. MP no longer starts. Then I got the fuse back and everything works again. A simple reinstall of MP does not bring a solution. Maybe I should reinstall MP from scratch. However, I need a lot of time for this...

    Greetings to all Denizens of the land of MediaPortal... It seems our Zap2XML/GraceNote access is broken again.

I am hoping the good citizen of past is...
