ok, I have been having an issue with MP locking up for a long time now and can't figure it out. I have attached logs and a screenshot. The screenshot shows wht I get. Lat night before bed, I launched MP, did a few things in MP (pandora, showtimes) and then turned off my equipment. The MP box runs all the time and MP runs all the time (well, tries to). This morning I turn on the TV, and this is what I got. The OS is still running fine, but MP is locked up and at 98% CPU. MP is connected to the TV via HDMI. How I got to this point from a perfectly worknig system was upgraging to 1.1.2. before that, everything was working fine. I have done a full memory test on the system (since the logs point to that) and the physical memory is fine. No issues there. plugins are updated, streamed mp is updated (several times since this started) and I still get MP lockups. I have also tried switching skins andt that does not help either. Any help would be appreciated.

ok, I disabled the fanart handler and now it is all working just fine. I think I need to do some more work in that area.

Well, I did a full uninstall and re-install. It still hangs and locks up. MP is totally unusable for me at this point. Anyone have any ideas???
ANYONE???

Did you reinstall the fanart handler when you reinstalled?

Over and over in your logs I see:

2011-02-11 00:43:38.922851 [ERROR][MPMain(1)]: render exception:System.AccessViolationException: Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.

My understanding is that this sort of error happens when a process tries to access files that it does not have permission to access. There are a few possibly old errors relating accessing specific files in the fanart log:

I'm not really a MediaPortal client expert and you have lots of plugins which could be fully/partially, but try checking the images mentioned above...

Thanks, I did a FULL re-install. deleted everything and started over. when I get a chance, I will post new logs from this new install. Also, I have not installed all the plugins that were on my old install.
