Sometimes when i start tv, the screen keeps blue (blue wide skin).
Then i have to kill mediaportal with taskmanager. If I try to open tv server configuration, notting happens until reboot.

This is the only log made before crash (tv log).
All other logs were empty.

I see this "Tvservice stopped due to a app domain exception" in the log.

I have the same situation here... Usually when machine wakes-up automatically and try to grab DVB EPG. Turning off DVB EPG, everything is flawless. (except for recording, which is really hard to do when there is no EPG data. Try to turn off epg grabbing and see if it solves your issue...

Could you please both report this in the bugreports section of the forum, with complete logs attached.

We would really like to get this fixed, but cannot reproduce the issue within the team. The only way we will be able to do this is with your help.

The log above is the only log that is updated after resume en before crash.
I will place a tread at the bugreport section.

tv server crashed again after standby, with epg disabled.

I see the same exeption then last time.

Hi there,

Was this ever raised in the bugreports section?

I seem to be suffering from this too

I think so,
I switched to 4TR argus tuner,never had a crash again.

I get the same and sometimes missed recordings, I assume because the server hasn't started. It's odd because the PC does wake up for these events, but doesn't record. Server can be restarted by using the server setup tool. I'll try and grab the logs. Where are they located?
