[QUOTE="KevL, post: 1002760, member: 11798"] Hi I can confirm similar behavior with MP 1.4.0 pre-release. I did a clean install on win7 with 1.4.0 pre Did a number of channel scans for each of the tuners (since some channels do not always transmit - some during the day others at night). Created groups and moved channels around into groups etc. Some time during this process (I cant be sure exactly when), I noticed that the export channels function did not complete. Looked in logs and noticed that the SetupTVServer log showed an error associated with this. I have attached logs showing error. Some time later I noticed that manual control tab also failed to work. So after reading this thread I downloaded the mysql workbench tool and also observed that the tables for TV and radio channel groups also contained duplicate sort order numbers. So as above I hand edited these. It didn't entirely fix the problem but now behavior is different. Manual control now opens but still export channels produces an error and does not complete. I have also noticed that the radio channels dialog does not correctly list all channels in the All Channels group. I have grouped radio channels into Freesat and Freeview channels. Only the freeview channels show up in All Channels. While I cant entirely discount incompetence on my part I suspect that the TVServerSetup is not completely robust when it comes to updating the database. Am content to wait until 1.4.0 final is released before messing with channel setups (I really hate the channel setup part of MP). Might even do a clean install of 1.4.0 final. On the subject of Channels setup on TV server I noticed a few other issues 1. Some scrambled channels are not identified as such (shown as green when should be red) 2. Radio scanning does not seem to always obey the instruction NOT to group channels by satellite - though this might be due to my db being buggered. 3. When looking at tables in DB I noticed lots of other tables had non unique sort order - I didn't mess with them as I dont really know if this is a problem. I can upload DB if you would benefit from looking at it. I have some ideas as to how the channel scanning function might be improved - but I suspect this is the wrong forum for that. Please accept this as constructive feedback. Actually I found the 1.4.0 release the best yet. Haven't had a single problem with watching TV, picture is superb and channel changing is really fast (especially so after getting rid of default 2sec delay on this in one of the menus). K [/QUOTE]
