recording service crashing

[Koenie]

Hi,

I posted earlier today in the support forum http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...post177558
that my recording service was crashing (logs attached there). Stupidly I did not see the fault myself:

18-2-2007 15:30:36.786 ERROR [2] FATAL UNHANDLED EXCEPTION:: System.AccessViolationException: Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.
at Tortuga.Rss.Finalize()

TortugaDN.dll is part of the EWA. Can this be the reason for the crashes. I have in the mean time deleted and reisnstalled the EWA (version 57) and did not have any more crashes for the last few hours (definitely too short to conclude).

I also see it crash when I try to access GBPVR via the web interface. The following was logged in the event viewer:

What version of EWA? Latest Build or what is currently shipping with GBPVR?

When you say "try to access" what page are you trying to access?

What is shown in the EWA logs? Acess via the stats tab or via drilling down into the subdirectory that contains a log file under this tree:

Code:

C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files\gbpvr\4d107d39\801bf7b5\assembly\dl3

I use the latesd build (57) from the wiki.

I get this if I hot swap EWA....meaning the gbpvrrecordingservice is not stopped prior to adding new files....especially DLL's or code files in the application class folders.

This began occuring when we went to .Net 2.0.

Can you please confirm that you get this even when you stop the recording service first and then add the update.

First....are you stopping the recording service prior to adding the update files?

Also....can you post your web logs (see my post above for location) when this error occurs.

I am stopping the recording service prior to updating the EWA. I delete teh files as described in the wiki. This means that there are a few files from the rss generator that are not deleted but overwritten.

I moved the EWA to the microsoft IIS webserver in the mean time (with Apache I could nto get the rss feeds to work) not to hurt the WAF. Next week I am home a few days and can try to recreate the problem and send the log to you.

One thing I learned that you can not do is use the batch RSS generator GenRss.exe from within the web\bin directory. I just put a sticky post out on how to configure the batch generator.

Where you running the batch GenRss.exe or were you using the on-demand aspx page with the filter= query string parameter?
