service not starting

[haverer2]

Ok! - here's one for you... after lots of playing around I got 2.6.2 working with HD channels the works.
Thought I'd give 3.1.1 a go on this machine too - ran the update after stopping everything... service wouldn't start. If I uninstall and put 2.6.2 back the service will start no problem... put 3.1.1 back and the service won't start! Gives "Error 1067 - The process terminated unexpectedly"
Any ideas!??! ;-) Don't think logs will help, as the service simply won't start in control panel/sevices.... nothing helpful in event log either.
Thanks,
John

Try opening a command prompt window, change to npvr program directory and enter "Nrecord RUN". Post the output here.

thanks for the quick reply. Here's the output.... a window also popped up with next... pic attached. Does it shed any light!?!?

I've seen that error about the TEMP_FILE table missing when starting NRecord on a client, but not on the server. The client doesn't need NRecord anyway, so I just disabled it. I take it you are starting it on the server, correct?

[haverer2]

correct, yes.

There seems to be something wrong with your database, try temporarily renaming npvr.db3 to something else, that will get you started with a new database.

[johnsonx42]

Try running NextPVR.exe -upgrade and see if that clears it up.

Ah, very good sir! Not sure which one of those it was, as I did both before restarting the service, but it started straight away without a problem!
Thanks very much for taking the time to help me :-)

Are you running with the new or old database now?
