TV Service crashes every 4 minutes (1 Viewer)

[fstruijs]

Hi,

Since this week my Mediaportal setup has a problem. It runs fine and I can watch TV or listen to the radio, but after 3 or 4 minutes the TV service crashes.

This al started 2 days ago. I fixed the problem by removing Microsoft Security essentials, but today the problem is back.

This week Microsoft has rolled out a lot of updates, so i restored Windows 7 to a restore point from 5 days ago, but it didnt fix the problem.

I have my loggings attached.

Any help is appreciated!

Kind regards,

Frank

There is a problem with the MiniDisplay plugin (from error.log):

2013-02-15 11:25:30.829034 [ERROR][MPMain(1)]: MiniDisplay:Error while loading driver C:\Program Files (x86)\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\Plugins\process\LCDDrivers\LCD2USB.dll: Unable to load DLL 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\Plugins\process\LCDDrivers\LCD2USB.dll': The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)

.....and from tvserver_tv log:

Hi Owlsroost,

Thanks for your reply, but the MiniDisplay plugin doesn't cause the TVService crash. I disabled it in Mediaportal setup, but the result is still the same.

The tvservice even crashes when MP is not running. If I start the tvserver setup en start manual timeshifting, the tvservice stops after appr. 3 minutes and 45 seconds.

However, when the tvservice is running and and don't watch tv or listen to radiostations (when there is no timeshifting), the tvservice keeps running.

I moved the timeshifting directories to an other location, but tvservice still stops/crashes.

I gathered some new loggings with Minidisplay disabled.

Regards,
Frank

It looks like you have database corruption (from tvserver_tv.log):

2013-02-15 15:47:53.620455 [EPG Update thread(7)]: Tvservice stopped due to an unhandled app domain exception Error: StatementErrorUnclassified
Gentle.Common.GentleException: delete from Program where idChannel = ?idChannel and endTime < '2013-02-14 15:47:53'; ---> MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlException: Table 'program' is marked as crashed and should be repaired

There are instructions somewhere on the forum for running a MySQL database repair.

Thanks! The database repair did the trick!
