Vista updates cause LiveTV and Recordinf failiure

[MixMan]

Today Microsoft sent out a bunch of updates that seems to cause a PVRX2 and Recording Service failure. Both me and 2 of my friends GBPVR has stopped working in LiveTV and Recording. The Recording service is running and working, but PRX2 can't communicate with it.

It might be one of these updates, that causes the problem.

I would recommend you to turn off updates....otherwise you might end up reinstalling Vista and perhaps XP also?
I have tried uninstalling the updates and roll back to a restore point, but nothing helps #!$¤

I had the exact same thing on Vista64 last night. I'm very glad you posted as I got pissed off to the point of deciding to reinstall later today! Which clearly would have been a total waste of time. :mad:

This error sounds like a firewall is getting in the way of communication. Maybe Microsoft has reenabled the firewall, or tightened up some of the default settings.

[BigMoose]

It's not the firewall as I just turned it off and retried and got the same result. Rebooted, ensured the firewall was off, got the same result... Logs attached.

Is GBPVRRecordingService.exe in the process list?

[BigMoose]

Yes, it's running as the SYSTEM user...

[sub]

From the message, it definitely looks firewall related.

Post the GBPVRRecordingService.exe.log though. I'll see if it has any extra clues.

What happens if you try launching PVRX2 as admin? That seems to be the standard fix for most "access denied" Vista issues. Just a thought.

[BigMoose]

Here you go. Cant see anything in there myself though...

I just have one account, so I am "Admin" on the HTPC. I also turned off the Vista firewall and disabled the antivirus. Uninstalled the updates.
Problem remains.
