TV server service does not start automatically (1 Viewer)

[harryzwo]

After reinstalling a WinTV quad HD card and MP1.36, the TV service no longer starts automatically. A manual start is no problem. The service is set to automatic. Logs are attached. Does anyone have an idea?

I have looked at your logs, but as usual they mean mostly nothing to me. However, I did notice this line in "tvserver_SetupTv.log":

SetupDatabaseForm: Added dependency for TvService - MySQL​

I don't understand the differences between MySQL and MariaDB, but I was under the impression that MariaDB is a fork of MySQL, and that the programming interfaces are mostly identical. So in the MP logs, where it makes reference to "MySQL", that applies equally to MariaDB. However, since you could have both MySQL and MariaDB installed on your system, the one place where it does matter whether the string is "MySQL" or "MariaDB" is the place where MP registers the dependency. The above log line suggests to me that MP is registering a dependency on MySQL, whereas it should be registering a dependency on MariaDB. But what do I know? As Manuel would say:

I know nothing.​

(That is a "Fawlty Towers" reference.)

If you like banging your head against a brick wall, then please continue to try to get MP 1.36 installed correctly -- you might well discover the cause of the problem. But if you simply want a working MP installation, then uninstall MP 1.36 and instead install MP 1.33. Follow the procedure described in this post.

Thank you for this note. I'll try this out once. First 1.33 and then upgrade to 1.36. I haven't performed a new installation since 1.30 and have now tried to save a lot of work with backup settings. Maybe this is where the problem lies.

Backup settings doesn't work with MP x64.

@CyberSimian
this workaround worked.
@TLD
this hint was good because I wanted to install x64. Now I have x86 installed
