#1 try generating a memory dump from the crash - Debugging/MemoryDump - MediaPortal Wiki Documentation

#2 try disabling the EPG grabbing as at leas TsWriter.log has EPG grabbing happening before the crash:

I seem to have the same problem all of a sudden . The TvService always terminates unexpectedly after 30 to 45 minutes. According to the log, the last action is EPG grabbing. EPG grabbing finished at 14:16:01, the TvService terminated at 14:16:10. But the last entry of the tv.log says this:

2008-07-06 14:16:01.286750 [EPG Update thread]: Tvservice stopped due to a app domain exception System.AccessViolationException: Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.

Hm, I think I'll run memtest on the server, maybe there is something wrong with the memory.

I'm pretty sure that the memory is ok, but instead there is some bug in TsWriter.ax that causes the crash. Please use the information from the previous post that I have posted to get more information about the crash itself.

Yeah, memory is ok . At least 11 memtest passes didn't bring up any errors . I'll try making a crash dump now. Btw. this happens since SVN version #19510 (according to the windows event log). I didn't watch any TV with MediaPortal since I installed that version (except trying it out directly after installing), so I never noticed that anything was wrong.

//edit: Well, I have a crash dump now, but it's really big of course (98 mb zipped). Any way I could upload it on an FTP or something from you guys?

Yes, when I disabled all epg grabbing, i couldn't get it to terminate unexpectedly again. Also epg was last line on one of my log files too. From what I've gathered with developing against TsReader.ax etc is that "Attempted to read or write protected memory" crash is an unhandled exception occured in a COM component (tswriter/etc), and certainly not a real memory check error.

The ftp for upload is:
ftp.team-mediaportal.com login: tsdump@team-mediaportal.com pass: mpuser88

Yeah, I deactivated EPG grabbing for now too. I hope this will get resolved soon (I have no other EPG sources).

I've uploaded the crash dump to the FTP, it's called Crash_Mode__Date_07-06-2008__Time_22-31-2525.zip

Looks like it crashes on PsisDecd.ax. Have you installed the DVB fix that is mentioned in the requirements for MP?

Of course. Otherwise the TV Server configuration would tell me everytime, that the PsisDecd.dll is old. Unless there is an even newer DVB fix out since one of the last SVN versions?

No, the DVB fix version is the same. The odd thing is that the call stack points that the access violation crash was happening in psisdec.ax
