I just update mediaportal from 1.0.1 to 1.0.2. I did an update installation as I have a lot of modded things I don't want to loose. While getting the whole thing updated and when the tv server installation was going to be done it seems there was an error -sorry I dind't write it down.. It said smething like "tvserver.exe trying to write to somememory it didn't exist.

Now everything is working except the tvservice. The directory is there (Team MediaPortal/MediaPortal TV Server) and all the files. except for tvservice.exe.


I tried to do another install but the installler doesn't allow me to do it. It says that I have t go through a full install.

Have anybody any idea where I could get the "Tvservice.exe" file to dowload?

Is there any way to force a repair installation? Or a way to extract the tvservice file from the installation package?


thanks

I just tried to reinstall the tv service from Configuración local\Temp\MediaPortal Installation\deploy
(a temp directory created when you try to install mediaportal) and I get another error at the end:

EventType : clr20r3 P1 : tvservice.exe P2 : 1.0.2.42496
P3 : 4a04b3f1 P4 : system.configuration.install P5 : 2.0.0.0
P6 : 4889dede P7 : a1 P8 : e7 P9 : system.invalidoperationexception

Any clues?


UPDATE:

It seems I made it to work. After getting the last error I realised that the ile "tvservice.exe" was again in the directory and I tried to start the service from the control panel/services. It said that the service was stopping after started. I looked inside the tvserver directory and found a file callled setuptv.exe. it opened up and it was asking me for the password for the database.It was empty. I put the password "MediaPortal" and now everyting works again!

I think this might be happening because I'm uing the SQL server database instead of mysql. Can this bug be triggered by this??????

I think this has to be solved in the next version of mediaportal as I've read I'm not the only one with this issue.

    Did you actually try running TV service config after installation. Pretty sure I read you needed to do that. I certainly did and had no such problems.

    couldn't run it because the file wasn't there after the first install....

    it only was there after the trick I did

    Why you can't do a "repair" install with MP?????

    tips

    I've your problem : I've solved with :
    1) go to program files\team mediaportal\tv server's directory.
    2) Lauch tvserver uninstall executable.
    3) remove with basic options the tvserver (without deleting your settings)
    3) restart the pc
    4) execute the MP 1.0.2 installer and it will reinstall the tvserver.

    Bye
