DVB-T grab problems.

Grab starts then fails/stops during the update and then restarts again.

Heartbeat monitor failure.

As you can see form the logs the Heartbeat monitor kicked in (?) and got stuck in a recursive loop.

Timeshifting caried on without being stopped as checked from opening the files with VLC .

MP gui had to be killed via task manager and restarting MP GUI failed to connect to server.

SETUPtv failed to start cleanly and had to reboot to restart service.

Hi

TvService is set to "autostart" but it does not.. Last build that has work ok for me Build 17471.

To ambass:
The changes that you have introduce on Build 17753 are making seeking better much better but there are some problems..
Step to reproduce:
1.- On livetv after more that 3minutes seekback 1 minute
2.- watch livetv for another minute
3.- Push Pause, wait for another minute
4.- Seek 1 minute.. It goes to the END... BUG

Thanks!!!

DVB-T grab problems.

Sorry, I guess that is something for gemx to look at.

 

[SciDoctor]

Clicking on 'streams' in the MP GUi causes the TVSERVICE to crash .

log attached

This bug is repeatable.2nd log atttached

Also the 'tv connection lost' dialog that appears when the TVservice crashes will not GO and you have to restart MP GUI

I cannot get into tv-server after installing this build.

this is the error.log of the tv-server:
MediaPortal Pastebin - collaborative debugging tool

I've tried reverting to build 17749 but I get the same result.

The tv-server console will eventually start, but right before it starts the tvservice process is stopped.

 

[SciDoctor]

Try deleting the database.

I have had similar odd databse corruptions with recent builds with the same results and only deleting the databse has worked.

Hopefully you regularly 'export' your channel info and schedules as this makes getting back to normal so much quicker.



I dislike the automerge!!!!

Would this bug also cause the excessive cpu usage during EPG update. It almost freezes the sytem with 'sqlservr.exe' maxing out the cpu usage.
