serverwmc backend error

[Spaceboy 2565]

hi, trying to watch the football tonight through MBS, streaming stopped a few times, which isn't too unusual but just before the second goal it all stopped and i couldn't restart it. i looked at the livetv page in setup and it says unavailable (serverwmc backend error). i looked on the machine where serverwmc is running and all seems good with serverwmc.

 

serverwmc build 1162

MBS 3.0.5362.41507

 

what logs can i provide, they will be big, also debugging dnla

more info, serverwmc seems to have initially caused a problem with wmc which required a restart. i say seems as my wmc is a bit fragile as i use dvblink as a source but its mainly stable.

 

after restarting everything serverwmc seems to be connected ok but its still reporting a backend error and tv doesnt play in MBS, working fine in WMC though,

 

not too bothered about the first problem as its not straightforward but removing and reinstalling the plugin made no difference, how do i fix the second?

 

cheers

and now streaming but still reporting a backend error

I'm confused.  I assume MBS is saying there is a backend error with serverwmc, but live tv is streaming now?  What are you doing when MBS says there is a backend error?

[Spaceboy 2565]

Just looking at the live tv page in mbs setup

[krustyreturns 191]

So that page says there is a backend error, but live tv streaming works?

[Spaceboy 2565]

Yep, status shows as: unavailable (serverwmc backend error). The guide refreshes but I can't see the tuner status where it normally would be

[krustyreturns 191]

The IP address (or host name) and port number are set correctly in both MBS and swmc?

 

if so, restart swmc then start MBS then post the serverwmc log and MBS log.

[Spaceboy 2565]

yep, just localhost and 9085

 

serverwmc log attached

Let me have the swmc log again, but this time give me the log after you have viewed the 'live tv' page that shows the backend error.

[Spaceboy 2565]

ok, i restarted everything then went into mbs and viewed the livetv set up page that shows the error and even refreshed the guide as the previous run on startup failed due to serverwmc not being ready

I think I see the problem. I just PM'd you where to get an experimental build of serverwmc.  Please let me know if it solves the problem.  Thanks.

[Spaceboy 2565]

sorry, no different i'm afraid, at least the same error is reported. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/39548367/ServerWMC.log

Before we spend too long on this... have you tried just rebooting this machine? 

[Spaceboy 2565]

several times. i had to as recently serverwmc has not shut down during the upgrade. been a few builds now 3-4 i'd say.

[Spaceboy 2565]

let me try removing serverwmc, plugin, folder and reboot and reinstall. this doesn't seem like something you should be worrying too much about

[krustyreturns 191]

Before you do that, try starting wmc and see if it shows a problem with the tuner when it starts.

[Spaceboy 2565]

sorry, i didn't see this. but no, i'm having no trouble with wmc. its my primary tv viewing application so i'd notice if something had gone wrong there.

 

Anyway i trashed and reinstalled serverwmc and everything is fine. seems to have been some communication problem between serwerwmc and mbs as servwerwmc and wmc  and even tv streaming to mbs were all working fine.

 

going to give removing wmc and reinstalling a go at the weekend to see if i get the program images back. i was hoping live tv may be supported natively in the near future but my hopes of that are receding
