99.05 Config hangs on exit

[purdym]

When I run config.exe it works ok, but as soon as I close it, the "Information" box pops up and then config hangs. Any else see or have a solution for this?

I had the same issue, but I rebooted the media center, and it solved the problem.

It looks like all I had to do was reboot, again.

I notice that the "GB-PVR Recording Service" was perpetually "stopping", so I rebooted again. Now config.exe seems to work fine.

So in fact config was not hanging, it was hanging on trying to stop the GB-PVR Recording Service when it was already stopping.

I have the same issue with latest release (using Win03). Normally I close down the RDP session then try again. It seems a bit hit and miss whether it hangs or not. I agree rebooting also resolves the issue

Not it is set right I don't plan to change config for a while.

i have a tool running which is watching over the "GB-PVR Recording Service" and restarts it automaticly when it stops in which case however ...

sometimes the config app cant restart it after closing, `coz my tool is a bit faster and i get the same effect, that the config app hangs ....

maybe the config app could'nt stop the service first and then the error appears (like a timeout ...), but a reboot of the system is never wrong

It is when the server also runs numerous external web sites, email.... and when the kids are trying to watch a film I recorded the other day

Mine has locked up regularly without any consistency. Seemingly when there is no activity. I am pulling all the plug-ins to see if that resolves it. Rebooting solves the issue, but doesn't work when you are trying to record something in the middle of the night and it locks up.
