Client crashes on startup

[peely]

Hi,

I have installed the PVR Server on one box, scanned for channels etc OK and all seems to be fine there.

When I start the client on my HTPC however it crashes on startup, but only when configured to act as a client. If I untick the client option then it starts fine. I have tried both streaming and client options and have disabled firewalls and anti-virus on both server and client. It also happens no matter what renderer / fullscreen option is selected.

The crash is at startup and is displayed in a .net unhandled exception dialogue.

I'm running on Vista x64.

Any ideas? Log below


Thanks, Neil.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this

Does \\172.16.1.50\gbpvr\gbpvr.db3 exist?

[peely]

Ah, it does but seems to ask fr a password. I added guests to the share and all seems fine, thanks!

Another problem though, EPG downloading is very slow. When I check the log it appears that downloading channel logos fails:

2008-07-24 19:24:37.750 VERBOSE [1] About to download channel icon: http://www.lyngsat-logo.com/logo/tv/tt/thane_int.jpg

DNS is configured (tried a hosts entry too) and I can access that image through IE. ANy ideas?


Thanks,

I dont know. Lyngsat may be doing some stuff to stop people stealing their icons (ie, dont send the image if it doesnt look like a browser downloading it), or possibly you have a firewall causing problems.
