Vista updates cause LiveTV and Recordinf failiure

[sub]

Can one of you guys with this problem try this test utility?

First stop GB-PVR Recording Server, and any other GB-PVR component. Extract the three files to some directory on your machine, then run the 'RemotingServer.exe'. Next run RemotingClient.exe. Each time you run it, a message should appear on the RemotingServer output.

Sadly it didn't work:

The server is "Waiting for message"....

[sub]

Did RemotingServer run without any error message?

[BigMoose]

Yeah, it just put "Waiting for message" on a line every couple of mins... Didn't notice an error.

[dslowik]

The same problem started happening to me yesterday also, I just hadn't had time to investigate it. I'm running 32-bit Vista.

[sub]

Yeah, it just put "Waiting for message" on a line every couple of mins... Didn't notice an error.

This test app is a 'Hello world' type app that does nothing special, and is entirely unrelated to GB-PVR. Its only a few lines of code. It sounds like either some firewall update or .net update has broken '.net remoting'.

I suspect one of you that is seeing the problem is going to have to work it out and post the solution for the rest of us. ie fiddle around with firewall stuff etc, and work out what needs to be done to get it working again.

[UrbanGrafix]

Dam lol, samething is happening here and causing all sorts of freezes in GB.

This is going to be fun to fix lol

Update: I have tried giving it direct access with no restrictions from the firewall etc but problem still exists so time to tinker

*Debug error below, its odd as it only appears when I mouse over LiveTv - The guide seems fine and it will record albeit the wrong channel

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Can one of you guys with this problem try this test utility?

I ran the test utility also to see what my output was in case it helps. As soon as I run the server, I get the following. The output comes out before I can start the client. I've checked my Windows updates and none have been installed in almost a year (3/29/2008). Windows firewall is off. AVG antivirus and Windows Defender we on, but are now off.

Code:

You forgot to stop the GBPVR Recording Service first, so the port was already in use.
