Attached TSWriter and TVLibrary for RC2

I haven't tested the files as I am still using RC1. Any problems then let me know.

Thanks.

DJBlu, thanks for the modified files. I did a completely fresh install of MP 1.1.0 RC2 including MySQL, no 3rd party plugins and no restore from backup. I manually tuned all DVB-t and DVB-s channels and confirmed the TVServer was working properly. I then installed your modified files as per your instructions. As I'm only interested in the EPG data, I've set both GetSkyNumbers and SkyQuickScan to 0 in the "Sky.cfg" file. Also, just in case, I renamed "groups_uk.dict" to "groups.dict", and in the "regions.dict" file I put a '#' in the line before 4099-43 and removed the '#' from the line before 4098-35.

I can confirm the EPG data is grabbed correctly, I now have a fully populated EPG. However, for no apparent reason, the TVService randomly terminates unexpectedly when grabbing data from 'EPG Background Audio'. Unfortunately, no "error.log" file is generated when that happens and there aren't any pointers in the other log files. As my TS-Witer log file is huge at 83MB (it seems to log each individual program) I won't attach it all to this message, just the number of lines since the last successful 'EPG Background Audio' grab. In the meantime, I've restored the original files without changing the EPG config so the TVServer will still try and grab EPG data from the same transponders. This should confirm whether the issue is with grabbing the data itself, or with the processing of the data.

Do your event viewer logs show anything?

Hi DJBlu, I've been having a similar problem to Jay_UK & AberDino but I'm not using MDAPI or anything like that. Just a Standard CAM.

I was able to start TV Service after replacing the files with your versions but once I changed some settings in TV Server configuration regarding the TV card priority, settings etc TV Service restarted as it does but then it won't start again, even after a full restart. Logs attached.

P.S I'm using MP RC2, clean install, clean database + all windows updates and VB 2005/2008 SP1 + ATL patches.

Hi guys

Well I managed to sneak in a fresh rebuild today

Everything was going great, instead MePo, replaced the files with DJBlu's (no banned software installed), did a scanned, found the channels, I did a custom group, went through the rest of the config fine - thought happy days here I come

Then I noticed I was running on DHCP and not static! So I changed the IP, it broke TVServer, tried changing it back, but TVServer wasn't happy at this point.

Ended up uninstalling and reinstalling TVServer (DB too)

It was happy now, replaced the files again and BOOM TVserver dies again!

And now it wont even start (like wonkyd above!) - If I revert back to original files it works fine!

Looks like there is a problem and it wasn't just a "one off" software bug/issue I had before (as I have it again - and so does someone else)

Hi there,

I've kinda hastily restarted the rebuild again - she isn't gonna be happy!!!!!

But I have found this thread (with a potential fixed tvserver.exe) - People on that thread are displaying similar errors to me/us??

Fixed page here:

Might be worth a try?

I will update to the latest SVN later and patch with my changes. I will upload it sometime tonight or tommorow.
