Crashing during Update EPG

[ZXGuesser]

I'm getting an appcrash every time I manually update the EPG. Looking at NPVR.log it happens at a different point each time. Sometimes the last line is a 'Got nnn EPG Events', other times something in the process of saving that, or preparing to scan another frequency. It seems random in other words.

Making it do an auto update and Looking at the NRecord.log it works for a few seconds before crashing NDigitalHost, which then gets restarted to scan another mux.

In both cases it sometimes gets itself into a situation after a crash where while live tv still works fine but it is unable to open the capture device to scan channels or update the EPG, instead failing with "Failed to start device" in the npvr or ndigitalhost log. This seems to take a Windows restart to fix.

Running version 4.2.4 (190307) on Windows 7

Attached is logs showing an automatic EPG Update. NDigitalHost.exe crashed twice, the Windows application log events are included. A Subsequent attempt to manually update the EPG shows the "Failed to start device" problem occured.

Take a look at the end of this thread - it's not very obvious because I thought it was linked to another issue I was having with memory usage:

I found in references to issues relating to ntdll.dll in event viewer at every crash. I managed to fix it by restoring the windows image using dism using information in this link:

May not be related, but worth a try!

Neither a DISM or SFC scan find any dll errors in my case.

You are not alone. It would appear that something may have changed in the UK EPG data that's causing ndigitalhost to crash.
It's pending investigation on Sub's return to NZ.
