Attempting to play live tv causes build 1236 to crash

[digger11 1]

This morning I manually upgraded ServerWMC to build 1236 as directed in this post

 

Now when I try to play live TV from a client it fails with the error "No compatible streams are currently available. Please try again later or contact your system administrator for details."

 

I finally realized that ServerWMC seems to die every time I start a live TV playback.  If I have the ServerWMC console active I can see that it is starting an active stream for the client, and then it pops up a "ServerWMC has stopped working" window, and exits.

 

 

The ServerWMC log file shows the following Uncaught Thread Exception at the tail of the log:

I've attached the log file.

Sorry about that.  Its crashing on a bit of test code that was supposed to have been deleted when we released this build.  We got rushed more then we would have liked due to the old website going down.  I will put up a fix that takes care of it so you can get going.  I'll let you know when its up.

 

I am curious why it fails on your system.  Is it running under a standard user account?  Or an admin account?

The build is up now.  Set serverwmc to download 'Preview' updates (see updates tab).  The version is 1237.  Thanks.

On this particular system it is running as a standard user account.  I did think about that being a problem, and did exit ServerWMC and ran it as an administrator.  That didn't seem to make any difference.

I updated to 1237 and it's not crashing anymore, but although ServerWMC shows an active stream to my client, all I see on the client is a spinning circle.

 

I don't see anything obvious in the log, so I'm not sure where to go next.

Hi, the best thing to do is provide the information requested in how to report a media playback issue. Thanks !

In the swmc log you posted, serverwmc is returning dlna live streams to emby - strangely the area of the log were swmc prints its startup configuration dlna is not turned on.  Did you mean to run dlna?

I was having the exact same problem. Updated to 1.0.0.61 Build 1237, then unchecked the DLNA box from the ServerWMC Live TV tab and all is working for me now.

Same issue as OP.  Updating swmc fixed the crashing issue, but now Emby seems to have some errors.

Attached is a relatively clean log showing an attempt to start live TV.
