Mega Crash (1 Viewer)

[anflyg]

Media Portal totaly crashed for me when changing to TV. I it related to the TVService or database.

I have reinstalled Mediaportal several times and made total clean ups. I have tried both MySQL and Microsoft SQL. i does not matter. I have tried both 1.0.0 and 1.0.2 but the error remains. I would prefer to not re-install Vista.

I get the following popup (see picture).

Any ideas? Enough information?

Did you even run "TV-Server Configuration" (the shortcut on your desktop)?

Config

Yes, this happens when TV-server config wants to run also. First is there a question if a want to start TV-service or not. I say Yes to that, and then the popup appears, but the config never starts.

I have been running Media Portal for about one year on this computer earlier.

I have been running Media Portal for about one year on this computer earlier.

Now it is getting interesting.

So what have you done to tirgger the issue?
Or, what has changed recently?

Well, if I am not misstaken I was watching TV and then decided to change window to the "planned recordings", but the Media Portal got "hanged" (stopped working) but did not crash. I used version 1.0.2 at the time. This was upgraded from version 1.0.0.

Ever after that it was not possible to start Media Portal with TV or to use "TV-server configuration". From the error log it seams to be some kind of connection error to the SQL-server. I have checked that the ports are open in the firewall. And I have also tried using fresh installs of both MySQL and Microsoft SQL.

Can there be something strange left in the registry, since a clean un-install will not help?

Can you just check your host file as described in the above thread.

Thanks

Thanks thanks thanks Paranoid Delusion and infinityloop!!!


The editing of the host file did the trick! I do not understand how that may have changed?!?! But anyhow, problem solved!
