MP2 - V2.3 New install and crashing MP2-2.3 (1 Viewer)

[Gcarr]

Hi, I did a clean install last night. Everything seemed good. This morning, after a restart I now get the error "could not find mediaportal.common.logging.ilogger service" and then MP2 crashes. I thought at first I might have had the issue JoeCrow had but I have a different error in my client log. I tried the installation repair and it did not help.

@Gcarr can you try this? Open a command prompt as administrator and enter this (copy & paste):

netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="MediaPortal UPnP/HttpServer" dir=in action=allow protocol=TCP localport=55555

This is what the installer does once. Let's see if it helps.

Another idea: did you install any other program that might use the TCP port 55555?

Again from admin command prompt try:

netstat -a -b

It shows a long list of used ports and processes. Check if you see a line with :55555 and what process uses it.

Ok, I had already run the firewall cmd before I saw your 2nd message but, I looked in the firewall and did not see any entries for port 55555 prior to my adding it. After the firewall commands I saw the same errors with MP2

I ran the netstat command right after a fresh reboot. Here's what I saw for port 55555. Not sure what the "Can not obtain ownership information" is about. I think it might be from pia since it was right under it. pia is my VPN.

Here's a fresh reboot with pia disabled. Same problem

Well, I tried running the client as Administrator this morning and it came up without errors. This install is on Windows Home... is that an issue?

 

[Gcarr]

I believe mine is fixed, need to do some more testing tomorrow but I'm no longer having to run the client as administrator to avoid the crash. I followed the instructions in this post, which I just found tonight. I was using the Windows Media skin mentioned in that post so that may have been the cause of it. Here's the link to the thread. mp2-2.3 won't start
