When MP crashes it just freezes and I ahve to kill the application process

 

[noddy]

MP crashed on my system completely. It's also an event log entry attached.

During channel change (while recording something) after a few (not a fixed amount of) channel changes MP crash.

error decription
0. A scheduled recording is in progress
1. Run MP in fullscreen mode
2. go to MyTv
3. tune a channel
4. Zap the channels either with MiniEPG, EPG or Next/Previos channel (MCE remote) - after a few channel changes MP will crash

 

[henrik4223]

Really - no one can help with this critical error?

MP is of little use when it crashes every time you flip channels...

 

[gibman]

Try latest SVN's of both MP client and server.
Make sure that debug log level is activated.

Then try again ...

If it still doesnt work, then reattach your fresh logs

Also I have no idea about channel changes on analogue cards - since I am a dvb fanboy myself.

MP still crashes after new SNV

Hi Gibman

My problem also occurs when flipping the DVB-T channels - very strange. I have included the TVServer log file in the zip file.

I have now removed and completely uninstalled my analog cards (I really dont need them), disabled the firewall and antivirus. However, the problem is still the same...

 

[gibman]

Hi henrik4223.

Try and disable the DVB subtitle filter.
unregister the .ax file.

When I look at your logs I can see that it is activated.
Not that I know if it is causing trouble.
But it's worth a try.

[henrik4223]

hmmm....actually this seems to have done the trick!!!

THANKS A LOT - Now my life is much better LOL

Now i only have one problem - no subs of course I don't suppose you could help with a stable sub filter? ;-)

 

[tourettes]

Yep, current DVB subtitle filter is known to cause crashes & hangs, please don't use it in any HTPC were those nasty issues aren't supposed to happen
