yes I always uninstalled with the third option (full cleanup) as I think it ensures that all shared librarys/filters are unregistered/uninstalled properly, all registry keys removed etc. There could just be something simple lurking after uninstall that is stopping it working.

This does delete your database though, so you will lose all your EPG data, scheduled recordings, channels etc.

check that the system isnt low on disk space as well (as in less than 4-5gb free). I had a problem a while back where the tv service wouldnt start when the disk was low.

Its probably unlikely, but it could be something more discrete like the dlls have the wrong permissions after youve copied them.

You could also try just copying the tswriter.ax on its own without the others, and see if it will start with that

TVLibrary.dll and TVLibrary.Interfaces.dll must be copied too as the TSWriter depends on the modifications in the two files. Your TV Server will crash without them.

Personally I did a full uninstall and used this ->Revo Uninstaller Pro - Uninstall Software, Remove Programs, Solve uninstall problems to do it (it gets rid of any unwanted stuff left over after an uninstallation)
Then a fresh install and bingo

Hi guys,

I tried option 3 (cleanup) - with reboots, did a fresh install of MP RC2 - upto now everything working ok.

Redownloaded DJBlu's files again (incase of problems), copied them over the MPRC2 files (with the service stopped), restarted the service.

When into the Config, did a channel scan - BOOM - TV Service crashes

Tried it with S2 turned off, grouping turned off, all crash the service

I'm a bit relectant to rebuild the whole HTPC!

Just trying it now with Revo.

I just rescanned and cant find brit shorts...anyone?

Seemed to work for me by just using EPG Background in the radio channels or if using Freesat their should be a Freesat Info also in the radio channels

Thanks Promark..i've tried that but i cant see anything turning up on the tv still I think i need brit shorts but i dont know where it is? Has it been renamed?

Spoke too soon - looks like they have just started to filter through....thanks

Guys I can't help you on how you are explaining.

If you upload your logs then I can help you out better.

Well I tried Revo - did a full clean up.

Then reinstall MP RC2

Went into TV Config, made sure it started, had all the cards, etc.

Stop the service, copied over DJBlu's files, edited the groups file, changed the regions file.

Did an advanced scan on 11778000 LinearV - BOOM - service crashes!

Is there any crash/debug info for the service that I can capture?

Not sure what I can try next, bar a full rebuild of the HTPC

The standard (MP RC2 files work ok)

Thanks,

J.

You are using this file

https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/...-sky-uk-uk-freesat-epg-tswriter_1.1.0_rc2.zip

?

Also I need your log files so I can see what is wrong.

 

[Jay_UK]

Yep

Downloaded it twice.

Its working on my test rig, just not my main HTPC (main HTPC has dual Hauppuage Nova S/S2 tuners, my test rig only has one).



I'm just reinstalling MP RC2 again, once its installed, I will switch to your files, and capture some logs for you.

Thanks,

J.

Brit Shorts doesn't exist any more. The freesat EPG is now on the "freesat info" radio channel.
But it sounds like you've got it working now anyway.
