I have problems with MP when I don't touch my pc for a couple of hours, like a days work or a night sleep.
I've turned off all windows sleep modes, only MP is set to go black after a few minutes.
Example: I watch tv in the morning before going to work. When I leave, I hit the stop button to stop livetv, turn my panasonic tv and marantz receiver off and leave. When I come home after work, I turn on the tv and receiver, hit the epg button on the remote, I choose a channel and ....MP lockes up. This happens almost every time after long periods. Only taskmanager can now close MP off.
I have the logs from today in debug mode attached. I've had this before in older versions, but I can't recall it from the first weeks I used 1.1 final...but it's hard to say since it appears to happen only after long periods with no activity.
Can anybody see what goes wrong?
EDIT: Sometimes the message that the connection to the tv server has been lost is there, sometimes not. When I look in the tvserver config the tv service sometimes is not running anymore, and sometimes it is, but you have to restart it (and after that also MP) before you can watch tv again because apparently something crashed in tvservice). If you don't restart tvservice in this case, MP keeps locking up when trying to watch tv.
EDIT2:
I found out its the 'epg grabbing when idle' option. I can turn all epg grabbing options on (including WebEPG) but as soon as I turn on the grabbing when idle function, MP has the reported problems! So the bug must be in the tv epg grabbing section somewhere. I have to manually restart tv service and restart MP to make it all work again. It must be related to a change somewhere within the last 12 months because I didn't have this before. I only started to notice this a couple of weeks ago though.
