Community skin 2.1.2 - Object Recefence not set to an instance of an object

[mmatheny]

OK, reinstalling the driver didn't help. One thing of note - when I first start GBPVR, I get an MS Installer window for a second that disappears before I can read what it is installing. Will run the MS Installer cleanup util to try to get rid of it.

When the MSI installer runs, it logs some messages you should be able to see in the Windows Event Viewer, which should tell you why it ran (what file was missing etc).

OK, just did a clean install of 99.12, Community Skin 2.1.5, and SkinPlugin 2.2.0 - nothing else, not getting any MSI installer messages and this STILL occurs!! Always the first (and only the first time) I go from Live TV tothe Menu with the Menu key on the remote.

Did you check the Windows Event Viewer?

Got this .NET 2.0 runtime error - although this didn't occur when the Object Reference error was thrown. This occured 45 minutes before that, probably while installing and setting up 99.12.


EventType clr20r3, P1 gbpvrrecordingservice.exe, P2 1.0.2547.27412, P3 13, P4 mscorlib, P5 2.0.0.0, P6 4333ab80, P7 32ed, P8 10, P9 system.objectdisposedexception, P10 NIL.

I am doing a repair install of .NET 2.X as I type this - will let you know.

Sorry, I dont really have any ideas.

[mmatheny]

The repair install did not help - I am going to do a clean install with nothing added, then go slowly to see where it breaks. The problem is in the TV preview panel - when I get this error there is no TV preview in the menu. Once I go back into LiveTV and then back, no error and the TV preview is showing. Does this help any??

[mmatheny]

Found the error in the log - hope this helps:

Bump

[mmatheny]

Guess I'll try a clean install this weekend since no one want to respond to this issue.
