No Channels in frontend !!! (1 Viewer)

[k_p_abbott]

I've had a similar issue with my EPG guide for TV.

I tried to create 'All Channels' for Radio, but it couldn't create it as it already exists!!!!

Flabbs (@k_p_abbott),

Can you confirm you have not got the option "Hide "All Channels" Group" selected?

See here: TV Client - MediaPortal Wiki

robbo100: I'm seeing the same issue with Radio stations as k_p_abbott above since upgrading to 1.2.0 (and even after upgrading to 1.2.1). I have double checked, "Hide All Channels Group" is not selected in TV Client preferences.

Your database could be corrupted. Please post logs using the watchdog with option 3.

Will of course do as soon as I got the chance. But funny enough, it worked flawlessly just before the upgrade so I'm suspecting something there. Will attach a log once I'm home from work.

I've attached the logs now, hope it helps uncover what's wrong and how I can fix it. Thanks in advance for your help!

Just to be sure you notices, I've attached the logs above.

Hi again

Sorry, I did miss you post! :sorry:

I think the issue is this:

Can you please post the Gentle.config file from "C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\". Note that folder is a hidden folder so you need to paste the path into the address bar in Windows explorer in order to get there.

@mm, no worries. I won't pretend I understood where you see the issue but I am attaching the Gentle.config file

 

[Vasilich]

mm was right -

<DefaultProvider name="SQLServer" connectionString="" />

so no provider is configured.
try to replace C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\Gentle.config with your C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal TV Server\Gentle.config (make backup before) and report back if it hepled or not.

Vasilich, this actually worked, thanks!
