GB-PVR went haywire - I have attached logs. Please help

[BoomerBrian]

Well. Everything was working. Now the weather plugin is missing. The EPG will no longer update my HDTV card. When I close GB-PVR it crashes. Here are the logs. Please help.

Set your logging level back to 'debug' then reproduce the errors and repost the logs.

I don't know about the weather plugin but it looks like zap2it changed the way they do the info for digital channels. Check out this thread:

It may explain the epg problem. I had to log into zap2it and re-setup my digital lineup before it would send down the data. And now it puts it in the epg differently.

Here you go sub. Thanks.

I cant really help you too much with the plugins, but its probably worth posting a any questions you have about them in the 'plugin and skin support' forum, with an appropriately named title to catch the attention of the specific plugin's author.

The error when exiting GB-PVR seemed to happen after a message about the MyVideos plugin. The first thing I'd recommend trying, is moving all the plugin DLLs out of the plugins directory. Check everything is function correctly (can exit GB-PVR etc), then add the plugins back in one at a time to see which ones introduce the problem.

The weather plugin was complaining about some file already existing, which was causing it to fail. As I suggested, post a question in the plugin forum for this.

There was no EPG update that has occurred since you switching your logging level back to debug, so I didnt look into that.

I don't know what would cause this error in the weather plug-in. The only thing that comes to mind is the plug-in updates the config.xml file to write the current list of locations that you are monitoring. If it had a problem with this it could cause some sort of error. Maybe something else had the file open.

Yeah, its a bit of an odd call stack. Something to do with timers, but didnt mean much too much to me.

sub - Something did change with Zap2it and digital channels. I had to completely remove the device and add it again and remap to get the EPG to show up for them. I also removed all of my plugins. GB-PVR appears to function but when I click on EXIT it still crashes. However the crash doesn't show up in the GB-PVR log. I have narrowed it down. When I empty the EPG it doesn't crash but when I update the EPG it then crashes when I click on EXIT. Any suggestions? Could there be something wrong with the database?

zed - Thanks for the heads up about zap2it.
