MP completely screwed up - enew error on every restart... (1 Viewer)

[VIXUN]

Hello,

since a couple of days MP seems to be completely f*cked up and I don't really know what's causing it. The error messages differ from time to time but in this state MP is unusable for me.
The problems are:
- Live TV not working (either "unknown error occured" oder "playback not possible: live 3-0.ts buffer" (translated this msg from German - hope it's roughly the same in English)
- sometimes just freeze upon start
- no reaction to input from either my harmony remote or keyboard/mouse
- no playback of recorded TV or movie files (.mkv)

I know it sounds strange and I wouldn't believe myself tbh, but I did not change anything in the past days (driver, programs. etc) so I'm pretty much clueless on what to do. I fear that I've got to do a complete clean install - maybe even format the system drive...

I'll attach the complete set of logfiles watchdog has gathered, so maybe you pros can help me.

Thx in advance

I'm having similar issues with 1080p mkv files.

Hello VIXUN

Looks like you have a corrupted TV Series database, and you may also have issues with the Clickfinder plugin.
Restore the TV Series database file from backup (or delete it if you have no backup) and report back if you still have problems.

I'm having similar issues with 1080p mkv files.

Please post logs from your system - no guarantee the problem is the same.

Been trying to... but for some reason I can't create a new thread today. Will try again.

Hello VIXUN

Thanks, this has done the trick!!! As I didn't use the Clickfinder-plugin anyway, I deactivated it...

One question though:
Is there any way to prevent the databases from corrupting? I had a similar issue with the tv.db a couple of weeks ago with no apparent reason as well.

Having the HTPC to crash/don't work repeatedly doesn't help with the WAF that much

I have a very similar problem. ... MP just exploded with errors one day for no reason ... reinstalled to a different directory ... and moved my settings over from backups. I've gotten most of it working properly EXCEPT for the Plugins menu in the Mediaportal configuration. This errors everytime... I can't configure any plugins because the PLUGIN page kills MP lol
