Update EPG from the mvp

[mvallevand]

I've noticed the last few times (I do them weekly) that I've used the mvp to update the EPG from XMLTV that I've had to restart the recording service because livetv fails with the following error. Stopping and connecting to a new pvrx2 connection doesn't help.

Code:

Can you zip and attach a complete log?

Can you zip and attach a complete log?

Here you go, I deleted everything and this is everything that is created with debug and flushing is enabled.

It looks like a bug in the patch you're using. It was something else I was working on, which looks like it wasnt correct or complete at time I posted the patch.

Sorry, you might just need to avoid this for now.

EPG update from MVP does not function. It only says something like "Initializing EPG update". Update from the server console works just fine.
In both cases the XMLTV.xml is collected from a third machine (not the GBPVR server!). The logfile produces the following error:

Code:

2008-06-27 14:54:50.343    VERBOSE    [17]    Loading XMLTV File: \\Flute\p$\tvgids\assies\xmltv.xml
2008-06-27 14:54:50.375    ERROR    [17]    XMLTV: error reading xml: Access to the path '\\flute\p$\tvgids\assies\xmltv.xml' is denied.

Apparantly there is something wrong with the access rights for the MediaMVP?

The MVP server (GBPVRRecordingService.exe) runs under the localsystem account on your machine. You'd either need to update the permissions on your share, or change the service to run under your user account.
