Please help me. I have been happily watching TV through Mediaportal. After several crashes this afternoon, I now get 'Unknown Error" when trying to watch any channel (DVB or through my STB). When I go into TV Server Configuration and choose 'Preview', I get "Preview Failed:UNknown Error". My EPG is empty and XMLTV appears to be stuck on "tvguide.xml already importing", with 0 channels and 0 programs imported. Not sure if these errors are linked.

Logs attached.

Hi, could you point me to those threads which help you repair the MySQL DB.

I'm using Win 7 with MySQL and get this "Unknown Error" fairly regularly when I go to TV

Try

https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/mediaportal-1-1-0-rc-3-6-519/randomly-crash-tvservice-exe-84051/

OR

https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/general-support-51/database-corrupted-possible-repair-71699/

As I couldn't seem to find any SQL Management Software to help, I went through the following steps (i use MySQL):

1. Open a Command Prompt
2. CD C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\bin
3. mysqlcheck mptvdb --auto-repair -u root -p

when asked password = "MediaPortal"

This fixed the database and for me it did not delete any data.

Good luck.

Gotta loooooove the forums!

I had this problem today, and within 30mins, had the command line to fix my problem...

A happy wife is a happy life :)
