[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1278211, member: 141969"] As no one else has suggested a possible cause, I will suggest this: [B]corrupted databases[/B]. User Ronski recently had a problem with his UK satellite setup. His problem was different from yours, but it was (in the end) solved by uninstalling MP, deleting any leftovers, and then re-installing MP. However, rather than doing that I will suggest the following: (1) Use "TV Server Config" to export all of your current settings. This is so that you can restore them later, if my suggestion goes horribly wrong. Personally, I would export all groups as one file, and then export each individual group as a separate file. This makes it easier to restore just one group if you want. (2) Stop "TV Server". (3) Rename the following folder by appending "0" to the name (this allows you to re-instate this folder if my suggestion goes horribly wrong): C:\ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\data\mptvdb (4) Reboot. If "TV Server" has been written sensibly, it will create default databases. If it has not been written sensibly, it will all go horribly wrong. (5) If there are no obvious errors, start "TV Server Config" and setup "TV Server". You will need to rescan for channels, define your live-TV and recording folders, and so on. At this point I would suggest [b]not[/b] restoring any of your export files. If one or more of the databases was corrupt, the corruption may still exist in the export file, and be re-introduced to the active databases when you restore the export file(s). (6) Start the MP client and confirm that TV works correctly (including recording). (7) Use the system in this way for the next two weeks, to verify that the problem is now fixed. Schedule recordings from the EPG. Don't try restoring the export file containing your recording schedule (in case it is the recording schedule that contains the corruption). (8) If it all went horribly wrong, stop "TV Server", delete the folder named above, and rename the old folder back to its correct name and reboot. (9) The above procedure does not try to fix registry entries. If the problem exists in the registry, the problem will not be fixed. :( -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
