TV Server melt down (1 Viewer)

[ben1210]

Guess its db related, had an issue like this about a month ago. Only fix was full re-install of windows and MP.

No obvious trigger for error

Please, surely there is another way to fix other then full re-install?

Jpeg shows message when I try and boot TV Config and I've also got logs

Any hints guys, missus wants to record TV shortly?

Looking around the forum I think the error maybe caused by my shitty Talk Talk router changing IP addresses. Any advice greatly appreciated.

looks like you uploaded a shortcut to your tv server log files, not the actual *.log files

assuming your problem is IP address changed, a quick google of "win 7 static ip address" shows a number of ways to do this, for example

I also set fixed IP addresses for all my MePo servers. In my case I went to my dlink router admin webpage and used the routers config settings to set permanent/fixed IP addresses. The windows based approach will also work. I have not tried the exact instructions in the info I linked but it should work.

Thanks for taking the time to post. Attached the full logs to this post.

I've looked at this static ip address howto before, but it is relatively complex. I need a few hours alone to fx without missus and kids hassling me.

Also, that's a preventative measure - do you know of a quick fix now its blown

there is something very strange in your tvservice.log and error files about master/slave mode. I've never had this problems so I don't know what to suggest for next steps. Maybe @mm1352000 can help.

RonD is right. Your IP address or computer name has changed post TV Server install. My advice would be exactly the same as his - set up a static IP address for the PC which has TV Server installed on it. Then use MySQL Workbench or similar (any database editor that can talk to a MySQL database would do) to fix the contents of the Servers table to match your actual IP address.

Had a buddy of mine remote connect. He looked at the ip address in the DB via workbench. Then looked at the servers IP address. They were different. We changed the Servers ip address to match the one in the DB and hey presto all was fine.

He then set the servers ip to be static. So shouldn't see this error appear again.

Thanks all of you for the advice
