TVservice freezes while EPG-grabbing since beta 1.1 (1 Viewer)

[mts]

Hi,

I have posted this error some time ago, but with no result.
Now I have installed your latest RC1 with hope that the error is gone - but no luck.

Again the description:
- When I start the TV-Server I can watch TV without problems.
- After a while I stop the liveTV.
- Some time later the EPG-Grabber starts
- As soon as the grabbing is done, the epg-grabber stopps
- When I now try to switch on LiveTV the client freezes
- After killing the TVService the clients do react again.

When I check the client, I see the following:
- the service is running.
- there are no errors in log
- I can start the TVServerConfiguration
- Under Manual-Control I see that all cards are idle
- When I select: TV Servers->IP-Address->"the first DVB-Card" the TVServerConfiguration also freezes!
(The fist card is the FireDTV, the other two are Hauppauge Nova DVB-S2).

After a restart of the TVService everything is working again.-

log: at 10:37:37 I tried to start LiveTV (with freeze)

Just a quess, maybe tuning failure causes EPG grabbing to hang. Please try to retune and make sure no such entries are written in TsWriter.log

THX,

I will try this, but anyway you should handle this exception.

Sure, it should be handled better. But I'm not sure if that is even the cause for the hang. Just a guess since I dont know that part of code in detail.

I have uninstalled the server-App completely and made a fresh reinstall. (There where so many SNV's in use)

But no I have the following error in log:

AW: daily crashes since beta 1.1

Error is still there.
I have made a clean install and the "PMT Pid wasn't found..." message is no longer there.

P.S. I always have to kill the TVService.exe because it is not possible to stop it. (Seems to be a threaded dead-lock).
The last messages that gets created while stopping the service are this:

Do you have any news for me?
The problem is making me crazy.

I think the main problem is that you can not see anything in the log files.

AW: TVservice freezes while EPG-grabbing since beta 1.1

I have solved the problem.
The TVService freezes while EPG-grabbing.
It happens only on a few channels.
I have disabled epg for all channels and have only selected the needed ones.
Now everything is working very well.

But anyway you should check the EPG-grabbing.

without knowing your code:
I think there is a deadlock somewhere in an EPG-grabbing thread.
This would also explain that you cannot stop the TVService in the freezed situation, because you probably
try to destroy all running threads and wait for termination.
