No issues before the SVN was applied.

I exit MP config and start MP, spash screens display but MP hangs before the Home screen displays. I see the HDD LED continue to flicker but nothing happens for an extended wait. I have to end the process, then get the "Media Portal ended unexpectedly" message.

This happens frequently, but not all the time. I seems to occur more after a change to the config.

Thanks.

Hi,
Only error in your log it's with IR Server suite:

2008-04-26 12:49:50.781250 [Info.][MPMain]: Exception ystem.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not find file 'C:\Documents and Settings\All Users.WINDOWS\Application Data\IR Server Suite\TV2 Blaster Plugin\ExternalChannelConfig1.xml'

I uninstalled IR Server, rebooted into MP (which came up fine). I exited MP and made a minor change to TV Server Config., then restarted MP.

Hung again after splash. New Logs attached.

Hi,
Ok, you have to remove one more issue & that is the tv card which MP thinks it should use:
1. Uninstall TV Server/TVPlugin (say no to delete database & files)
2. Start MediaPortal Configuration -> Television -> Capture Cards & delete the cards which MP thinks it should use
3. Install TV Server/TVPlugin again
4. Install latest SVN if you had that & test again
