Hello,

I moved you to the general section as I don't think (yet) that we are dealing with a bug.

Crashing after between 1-24 hours.

The logs show no sign of crash, nor does the WIndows event log. What makes you believe that the server crashed?

Your logs show some strange things:

[2018-12-29 11:35:15,369] [44233 ] [88 ] [WARN ] - FanArtCache: Error reading fanart directory 'C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MP2-Server\FanArt\'
System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path 'C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MP2-Server\FanArt'.

I've never seen this before:

[2018-12-29 11:35:07,813] [36678 ] [scheduler thread] [ERROR] -
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80030020): A share violation has occurred. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80030020 (STG_E_SHAREVIOLATION))

Your xmltv source is not correctly working:

[2018-12-29 12:28:34,596] [3243460] [79 ] [INFO ] - xmlTvLastUpdate not found, forcing import String was not recognized as a valid DateTime.

Generally speaking, your TV setup appears sub-optimal. Timeshift and Recording paths should be defined as UNC rather than drives. Instaed of J:\RecordedTV you better define a Windows share for this path, e.g. \\RecordedTV and enter this information in the TV Configuration, otherwise you won't be able to delete recordings from another client PC. The same is true for the timeshift path, which might not be accessible by a remote client.

The program (viewer part) crashes as in kills itself then when you restart it fails to connect to the server and the only method I have to deal with it is a reboot.

My bad, I didn't scroll far enough.

The service crash was at 12:30. Sadly your logs were taken at INFO level. More data is provided if set to DEBUG (from the client setup dialogue).

Last logged action at 12:18 (server3.log):

[INFO ] - xmlTvLastUpdate not found, forcing import String was not recognized as a valid DateTime.

Deactivate xmltv, restart the MP2 Server service ande check if you continue to have troubles. I also suggest that you repair your xmltv part.

Uninstalled and reinstalled, including user files.

It's going OK for a time, 1-24 hours on average then drop the connection between the viewer and the server applications. Is there a way I can get these to reconnect without restarting the computer? That would help me trouble shoot this a lot.

Please set the logs into DEBUG mode and upload after a crash/problem.

normally you can reconnect by closing and restarting the MP2 client several times.

Cheers

Got a few days out of it before the connection was lost.

before the connection was lost.

It's not just losing connection but there is again the sane severe Windows error at 11:00:

Application: MP2-Server.exe

Description: The process was terminated due to an unhandled exception.

Faulting module name: dokan1.dll, version: 1.1.0.1000,

From the above you seem to use Dokan 1.1.0.1000 - however, we are rolling out 1.0.5.1000. Did you install 1.1.0 manually yourself? Please uninstall Dokan 1.1.0, reboot, then reinstall MP 2.2 and chose "Repair". This will install Dokan 1.0.5.
