Hi, I downloaded Media Portal, (would like to move away from WMC) and everything seemed to be working fine. I was in the middle of scanning for channels on my Hauppauge 2250 tuner cards, when my computer blue-screened. After I restarted, TVServer won't start (but the regular media portal works fine, if I disable TVServer) I tried completely removing Media Portal and re-installing it, but I get the same error. Here is the error log that gets generated; I have no idea what it means.


Code:

    Hello czup

    The brief logs are not really enough to be sure of the problem. The BSOD could have corrupted general OS files, including drivers, and/or the registry. When you uninstalled, did you also remove the TV service database? The TV Server requires a database in order to start up...
    What happens if you try to run TV Server configuration (SetupTv.exe - in the TV Server install folder) with the /configure-db flag? You can do this by editing the shortcut on your desktop (right click, select properties) and adding " /configure-db" at the end of the target field.

    mm
    PS: remember to edit and remove the configure-db flag from the shortcut once you've configured the database.
