After months of successful use, suddenly MP TV stops working.

After start it looks ok. When clicking "TV" msg "Unknown Error" is shown.
No TV...:(

I've created the log and attached it!

Regards
Peter

    Looks like Database problem - from log, one of several messages...........

    2013-01-28 10:09:27.525240 [TVService(6)]: TvControllerException: Error: StatementErrorUnclassified
    Gentle.Common.GentleException: Update Program set state=0 where state<>0; ---> MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlException: Table '.\mptvdb\program' is marked as crashed and should be repaired

    Check Forum for correct command to fix TV DB (I know it's there, I don't have time to search for it just at the moment though:-

    TTFN - JCMP.

    ...looks as if I got it?

    Found the CD to specify before sql-command.
    Then it worked - reported corrected errors.

    Started MP, "TV" - bad news: same problem as before.

    After some time I thought of TV Service!!! Stopped it.
    Again repaired SQL. Restarted service.

    At least TV was startable now!
    Before finally verifying I must restart PC - MP sometimes mocks around when moved between monitors (with differing solutions).

    Will try!

    Thanks

    Thanks a lot: problem solved!

    After restart everything was fine!

    That is: after stopping TV-Service, fixing the TV DB (i.e. sql-db), and starting again the problem was gone!

    Thanks again!

    Just for info: the same happened again today.
    The reason, I think: a complete freeze of windows this morning. (No TV active that time, but tvservice is always running...)

    For all searching for the solution:
    open an administrative(!) command window
    net stop tvservice
    cd \program files\mysql\mysql server 5.1\bin
    mysqlcheck -u root -pMediaPortal --auto-repair --all-databases
    net start tvservice
    Then started MP: everything OK now!

    Thanks - and have fun!

    OK: this is the 3rd time...
    In between the time I know what's the error if MP says "Unknown Error" :-(

    But I also seem to know the reason for the problem: some hours before PC was hang up, again(!), on a problem of Virtual Box. And as TVServer is always running it can't close the data base as it should...

    When I tested MP 2.5 some months ago using TVE3.5, I found that "scan for channels" failed to find any channels when I selected a DVB-T2 tuner (a TBS 6284) :(, but succeeded when I used a DVB-T tuner (a Pinnacle 2000i) :). Obviously the Pinnacle found only those channels broadcast in DVB-T MUXes (in the UK we have both DVB-T MUXes and...
