Could not reach DB ?

Do you even have a single TV-Group ?
Did you ever start MP and entered MyTv to tune a channel? <- if not, do that and then go to TV-Server configuration/TVGroups again

Sorry for the HUGE error log, I would love to have a smaller one also ;-)
Don't know, what the MDAPI is ... what can I do with or against it?

Could not reach db: yes, this was probably the only thing in the log, I could understand. On the other hand, I don't understand where it comes from. TV-Channels are listed if I open the TV Epg grabber tab for example. Database access must be ok?

And yes, I started MP several times, there is the all channels group and one I made, the first and last time I could access the TV groups tab ...

One more thing: when trying to scan for channels right after installing MP, no channels were found. After some restarts and other unknown actions the scanning worked.

Any more ideas?

Thanks for helping,

uhm......
MD*** = "watching PayTV without smartcard"
you did not install that illegal stuff?
then i wonder where all the logging is coming from

When i read this and look at the error.log, then i am very sure that you have a complettely broken installation.
But "why", i sadly have no clue about.

No, no illegal stuff at all. It's just a really fresh Windows, drivers and MP. OK, I installed DVBviewer from TechniSat to check tv, but as far as I know, it is legal (since delivered with the SkyStar2 TV-Card)
First step after scanning is to delete scrambled channels ...

This does not sound good. I already reinstalled MP, so, do I have to reinstall Windows also? This takes me another day ...

Bye the way: tried deletion of the TVDB as suggested by Paranoid Delusion. Trying to scan for channels does not work again:

the error you just posted is the same as i did before.

there is definitly something going wrong on your system, but i have no idea what that could be.

just one idea regarding the scan issue:
1. uninstall the Skystar2 completelly
2. download latest drivers from techinsat homepage
3. manually install the BDA drivers from technisat by pointing windows to the directory of the drivers you downloaded. DO NOT RUN THE DRIVER INSTALLER!

i am using the Skystar2 here as well with the BDA drivers from technisat. no issues at all.

Ah, ok ... I posted it, because it was the last error when scanning channels did not work ...

ok I will try all this ... just completely removed MP, to go on with smaller logs ...

Actually the logs are big, because your installation has many issues to log.

If you do a uninstall of MediaPOrtal make sure that you choose the 3rd option -> "complete products cleanup".
And then reboot.
Running windowsupdate as many times until nomore updates are available would be a good idea as well + installing latest drivers for all your hardware.

YIPPIYAYEAH ;-)

Don't know why and how, but ...
1) uninstalled the skystar2 (which was listed in the windows device manager as network adapter) and all the technisat software
2) reinstalled only the bda-driver of the tv-card
3) reinstalled mp (selecting do NOT need hdtv-support this time)
4) scanning for channels worked
5) tv groups tab works!
6) still works after starting, closing, rebooting ... I hope, it will decide to keep working ...

Interested in logs?

so my guess seems to have been correct.
it is possible that this odd "setup4pc" application from technisat, which constantly runs in the background when using WDM drivers, causes some conflicts.

I removed "setup4pc"from the autostart in the old setup, but who knows, if it or something else wasn't running anyways ...

Thanks again!
