HI,
Firstly I would like to say thank you for the fantastic work that has been done on both the PVR integration and the MediaPortal plugin.
I am a long time user of Mediaportal + XBMC and am considering moving my main HTPC (currently running MP) over to XBMC-PVR.
I have been running the PVR builds with no problems for ages. The other day I upgraded to the latest Margro build + TV Server Plugin.
Half way through the sync of the PVR database, XBMC crashed and ever since I have been getting the following error in the log files:
19:27:04 T:5000 NOTICE: PVRManager - PVR::CPVRManager::ResetDatabase - clearing the PVR database
19:27:04 T:5000 NOTICE: PVRManager - stopping

19:27:26 T:2100 ERROR: PVR - PVR::CPVRClients::InitialiseClient - can't initialise add-on 'MediaPortal PVR Client (TSReader)'
I tried making some registry changes to the Server based on a suggestion in another thread but this had no effect.
I also tried rolling back to a build + plugin that was working but this throws the same error.
I'd love to get this up and running again so any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Did you uninstall the previous XBMC first (you can leave your profile folder intact so you don't have to re-do all your addons, library, etc)?
The reason I ask is because I had almost identical errors when I upgraded to the latest Margro build using the FTR addon. I had to uninstall, then install the new build, then reset the PVR and EPG db inside XBMC. Once I did that it worked fine. Installing/upgrading over an existing install is generally a bad idea, I've found - your profile folder will maintain all your skins/preferences/libraries so there's no worry there.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I have tried this and it doesn't help. In fact I get the error message on all client machines, so I am pretty sure that it is a problem with the TV Server side of the setup. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks |

There is no profile folder on the tv server just the xbmc mp plugin. I have tried deleting the profile folder on the client but this didn't work.

A quick update on this situation. I've disabled the firewall on the TV Server and the original Winsock 10060 error has now been replaced with a Winsock 10061 error:
08:55:05 T:2712 NOTICE: PVRManager - starting up 08:55:06 T:2580 ERROR: AddOnLog: MediaPortal PVR Client (TSReader): Socket::connect 192.168.1.148:9596 08:55:06 T:2580 ERROR: AddOnLog: MediaPortal PVR Client (TSReader): Socket::connect: (Winsock error=10061) Connection refused 08:55:06 T:2580 ERROR: AddOnLog: MediaPortal PVR Client (TSReader): Could not connect to MPTV backend 08:55:06 T:2580 ERROR: ADDON: Dll MediaPortal PVR Client (TSReader) - Client returned bad status (1) from Create and is not usable 08:55:06 T:2580 ERROR: PVR - PVR::CPVRClients::InitialiseClient - can't initialise add-on 'MediaPortal PVR Client (TSReader)' Has anyone had this problem in the past? |

Winsock Error 10060 (Connection timed out) and 10061 (Connection refused) both can be caused by several issues, mostly because of networking problems.
As can be seen in your first log, there seems to be a DNS-issue so that XBMC couldn't resolve "mediacentre" to its IP 192.168.1.148 that you are using in your second log. Now that you are getting a 10061-error, one would think that something blocks network-traffic to the mepo-port (9596). Please make sure your local firewalls (which exact OS are you running btw?) are configured to allow all (!) traffic that is generated inside your LAN or at least specify the mepo-port and the standard smb-ports. If you should be running a third party firewall on a windows-system: get rid of it and use the built-in ones...

Hi Fry7
Thanks for your reply, I am running win 7 32bit on the TV Server machine. I have disabled the windows native fire wall and that changed it from a 10060 to a 10061 error. I am going to try and install XBMC-pvr on the TV Server just to check that that can connect locally and then I am going to assign a new IP to the TV Server to see if that helps. Thanks |

Double check in the TVServer Configuration tool that you actually did enable the plugin. Check also that the version number is recent, e.g. 1.2.x.112 or higher
Check also the log file from the TVServer for "TVServerXBMC" entries to make sure that it is running. You can use telnet or PuTTY on your backend machine to test whether the plugin is running on port 9596. See TVServerXBMC readme.txt for the details.

Just checked in the error log for the tv server and saw the following:
Quote:012-05-14 21:00:10.994455 [TVService(6)]: TvService OnStart failed : System.Threading.ThreadAbortException: Thread was being aborted. However, in the tv log, everything looked fine. Quote:2012-05-14 21:00:17.343666 [TVService(6)]: TV Service: Load plugins |
