[QUOTE="CathodeRay, post: 1148442, member: 128074"] mm - I haven't given up, just realised I needed a break! Days can get swallowed up chasing the impossible, and sometimes a fresh mind can think of something else. (BTW, I respect the gentle language used in your post - appreciated.) I knew the wiki was community written but didn't realise anyone could easily and simply add to it/correct it etc so I will get round to adding what I can to it. One of the reason for sticking with the devil I know (ie MP 1.2) is that I get the impression system requirements for later version are higher and my system (as you will note from the earlier watchdog uploads) is quite old and quite low spec. The other reasons I've previously mentioned. This morning something rather bizarre happened: MP started working again after a few reboots. On reflection, there was a clue: one of the error messages was one of the dependencies was marked for deleetion or something along those lines: it was probably the old Windows thing of doing the deletion during a reboot. Even more bizarre: one of the reboots had a quick mysql start. You can see this in the attached mysql_error.log - I've pointed to it with '<=here' (without the quotes), at 150815 11:11:54. Instead of the usual 2+ minutes mysql start, it was only a few seconds. I have no idea why this happened, no clue I can see in the mysql log. I still haven't found a way of getting more verbose output from mysql despite extensive googling. As a possible workaround for now, I decided to see if I could use a batch file to check whether mysql was started (running) and when it is, start tvservice, and sure enough it is easy enough (google was my friend this time). Put this in batch file in the startup folder: :notrunning ping /n 5 0.0.0.0 >NUL for /f "tokens=4" %%I in ('sc query mysql ^| find /i "state"') do ( if NOT #%%I==#RUNNING goto notrunning ) net start tvservice It lacks finesse for now and uses goto but it works: a cmd prompt window pops up and cycles through the loop and then disappears as it comes out of the loop once mysql is running, starting tvservice on the way. HTPCSourcer - thanks for the kind offer if I get stuck, but I am probably going to stick with what I've got, at least for now (mainly for the reasons above). [/QUOTE]
