    Start MP, try to watch a channel, error message pops up. Reboot fixed the problem.
    Logs attached.

    ...so then a description of how the problem was solved would also be useful. Otherwise this thread isn't very meaningful.
    Fixed, that was in the title already.
    I should have tried restarting TV service really but went for a reboot instead :)

    I do have the same problem - same hardware (DD-CI, Deltacam) as Stephane. Fortunately it happens very, very rarely but because of this it is difficult to identify any pattern. Maybe related to initialization issues of the CI/DD card after the server resuming from standby.

    In any case I do not believe that it is related to MediaPortal as restarting the server is not resolving the problem, nor is removing and reinserting the CAM.

    The other day it was not working again and installing a new version of MP fixed it so I'm thinking restarting the TV service did the trick in that case. Hard to tell could have been another issue too.

    It's not sleep related for me as I just turn off the PC rather than put it to sleep.

    Thank you for this tip! I'm moving MP TV Server to a new machine. I installed the 64-bit version and most of the MP firewall rules were set to Public. I couldn't connect to the new TV Server from my old single-seat installation running 32-bit until I changed all MP-related firewall rules on the new machine to Private. Before I did...

    After many hours of troubleshooting I've given up and accepted that it's just "one of these things" when using madVR for watching live TV. I've now ticked the box to "Use EVR for LiveTV", with a default display refresh rate of 50Hz. In combination with tweaking some of the Nvidia 3D settings for the MP executable only, I now have a...

    Apologies Pablik. My bad. I neglected to run WMI Manager and check Properties as you advised. Sure enough, it produced this error: I tried to run winmgmt /resetrepository, but there were conflicts with running services. So I stopped those services (Malwarebytes & IP Helper), then stopped the winmgmt service. I was then able to run...
