I had the same problem when going to the Recorded TV screen. I renamed the mtn.exe to zzzzzmtn.exe within the filesystem (C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\MovieThumbnailer). Problem went away, but I'm not clear on what else it broke (if anything). I was unable to find a setting to do it the proper way. Seems like someone here would know what knob to turn.
Renaming mtn.exe won't cause any harm - the code has checks for that.
Configuration.exe (using Advanced Mode) has an option to "autocreate thumbs for recordings" in the general thumbs section. This is the setting you are searching for.
My system has recently started doing this - I think after Windows updates (no changes to MediaPortal). I don't really want to disable thumbnail generation if I can help it (it's quite useful on telly recordings), so is there a known cause of this? It happens pretty regularly so if logs will help I can generate some later and post them.

EDIT: Just found another post by rtv here that suggests it could be caused by a dodgy recording file somewhere - I'll have a look at the logs tonight and see if I can find out.
OK, sorted it - it was a dodgy recording file. It was actually very obvious in MediaPortal.log once I realised mtn.exe had something to do with MP. Deleted the offending file and all is happy again.
After many hours of troubleshooting I've given up and accepted that it's just "one of these things" when using madVR for watching live TV. I've now ticked the box to "Use EVR for LiveTV", with a default display refresh rate of 50Hz. In combination with tweaking some of the Nvidia 3D settings for the MP executable only, I now have a...

I meant use MP client to try to spot how it's requesting streams for specific channels and then try to do the same with VLC.
TV Server development looks dead so I'm afraid you're going to have to figure that out by yourself if it's even possible.

There seem to be several errors shown in the log:
(1) There are many lines that say Invalid year for OnAirDate. This suggests that either the web site is sending invalid data, or that the format of the data has changed and the TvMovieEPG Importer is misinterpreting it.
(2) There is also this error, but I don't know what it means...

No EPG data has been loading for the past few days. I'm getting an error message. See attachment. Can anyone help?
Thank you for this tip! I'm moving MP TV Server to a new machine. I installed the 64-bit version and most of the MP firewall rules were set to Public. I couldn't connect to the new TV Server from my old single-seat installation running 32-bit until I changed all MP-related firewall rules on the new machine to Private. Before I did...
