.NET-BroadcastEventWindow error when stopping playback

[jksmurf]

Just played back a recording of the rugby via my MVP and all went OK except when I hit the STOP button on the MVP remote I got the following error

.NET-BroadcastEventWindow.1.0.5000.0.4: gbpvr.exe Application Error

I've had ths sort of error once before, when the Antivrus Scan kicked in (I think). I know it's a long shot ..but any ideas why or how to fix it? (Error Image Attached)

Cheers

Update: This is repeatable. Every time I hit back/exit, it jumps out of GBPVR and the MVP goes looking for servers indefinitely, at which point it throws up the error on my PC. Same error every time.

I also get this error (mine is attached.) I don't think it used to happen when I first installed it, but now it does, and I don't know what happened between then. It happens on the previous version and also this version.

It always does this when I close the GB-PVR client. Any solution or work-around?

Googling a little bit, there seems a few things to "try". I don't think it's specifically GB-PVR related (or a lot of folks would get it :-) )

"We have narrowed the issue down to Security Update for Windows XP - KB835732. We will continue testing, but so far we have been able to correct the problem by removing KB835732 and then reinstalling it again. Further details will be provided as they are identified. In the meantime, if someone else wants to give the reinstall of KB835732 a shot: Download: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/detai...laylang=en"

"What I did was I downloaded the .NET Framework Version 1.1 Redistributable Package from :

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/detai...laylang=en

and I reinstalled net.framework 1.1 and then I rebooted my machine and the problem was gone. Then I went to the microsoft update site and even though I had had all the critical updates already installed prior to reinstalling Netframework 1.1 since I reinstalled it, there were now 9 new critical updates for XP. Even though I was afraid that those updates might have been the cause of the problem and it might make the problem come back, I downloaded the updates and installed them anyway and the problem is still gone.

So my advice to anyone experiencing a problem with NET-BroadcastEventWindow not responding when they try to shut down their machine would be to download net.framework 1.1 Redistributable and reinstall it then go back to windows updates and reinstall all the critical updates and you should be good to go."

Maybe try one of these (2 is newer). I will too (later tonight) and let you know how I got on.

I still get the error, even after installing/reinstalling .NET 1, 1.1 and Service Packs

Windows google search does not help much more than above, apart from saying something (which I don't really understand at all) about Garbage Collection .... :-) well actually about forcing the COM application to finish cleaning up before the Automatic Garbage Collector (GC) gets to it ... Timing issue apparently ... I "hope" that this means something to someone, it sounds like garbage to me...

When you calling an MFC object in the managed code(e.g. a C# program), some COM references are not released on the exit , so you need to force the garbage collection explicity right before exiting your managed application:
...
System.GC.Collect();
...

Some of the above talk about
(i) Ensuring you have .NET 1.1 installed
(ii) Reinstalling .NET 1.0 and 1.1
(iii) Reinstalling SP2.
(iv) Updating or Changing your video Card Drivers (go figure?)
(v) Getting the developer to look at the Garbage Collector.

I don't hold out much hope of it getting looked at as there's just not enough folks getting the error, but you never know.... I wonder if it's because my machine is too slow..It sure ain't because it's too fast...

Thought I should make closure :o on this one in case anyone else was suffering:

I did a clean install with the 94.8 version and in doing so got rid of the .NET error message. I "believe" but will never know, it was related to use of an outdated weather plugin with a later version. Sequence of install:

i) Uninstalled Weather Plugin.
ii) Uninstalled GBPVR (after first saving the config.xml and gbpvr.mdb)
iii) Deleted the devnz directory.
iv) reinstalled .NET 1.1 Service Pack.
v) reinstalled GBPVR. Error gone (but some wierd dsiconnects with teh MPV, esp. in LiveTV)

I have not yet reinstalled the weather plugin, I am too happy not to get that .NET error any more...
