MP 2 Server Service (1 Viewer)

[A105]

Hello - with MediaPortal 2.4 running on Windows 10 PC all is working well ...

After a few weeks I noticed that I was repeatdly needing to log in to Google on Chrome ... And Microsoft Onedrive ... And other applications too. Clearing the password cache, etc. fixed the problem... Until the next re-boot and same thing again - MP2 fine, other applications needing re-logging on to. OK fair enough, what has this got to do with MP2?

So I stopped the MediaPortal 2 Service and set to manual. All those repeated logging on requests went away ; no problems for days. Then I manually started the MP2 service and repeated loging came back...... Reinstalling MP2; rebuilding PC made no difference. So is there a link? MP2 service running = passwords corrupting; MP2 service not running = passwords fine...

Just thought I'd ask if anyone else has this problem?

Thanks

Hi,

I never heard about something like this and I've also no idea how MP2 could theoretically interact here or conflict with something.
The only thing I could imagine ist, that another application is using the same port. It should be 55555 for MP2. Can you try "netsh http show urlacl" in your console to see if other apps refer to the same port.

Hi, thanks for the suggestion.... Unfortunately there is only one 55555 entry and that's for MP. Anything else I can try?

And yes, it is strange... possible corruption of the password cache is not an everyday thing....

I can't think of any way that MP2 server would cause this directly, but I did find this article detailing a similar issue with Windows 10 and a possible fix, might be worth having a go at the provided solution.

Thank you Brownard for the suggested article - I hadn't seen that ... unfortunatly it did not output any tasks to stop ...

Just checked, I'm actually on Windows 11 Home version 21H2 ...

I'll keep googling to see what comes up .... if I find anything I'll post here ..

Thank you
