TAsk "could not start" error

When the update task tries to run at it's scheduled time, it is failing. This has occurred the last three updates. I will also add that I don't believe the task has ever run. I just installed EPG about 4 weeks ago, and the only reason I knew there was an issue as I was trying to look at the guide and it was empty. I can manually run the update, but that will get a bit tedious.

Here is the log for this morning:

What do I need to do to correct this?

Need to know a little about your setup. Could you post the attempted update at 2:30AM this morning?

Some rules to the task:
The task will only run if the machine is on AC Power and the network is available.
Import will only happen if there are no recordings in process (default)
If importing a file on a network, the task's user account and password needs to be configured

That's everything from the log for today. So I can only assume, if there is supposed to be more, that it's in a different log. That information was from the trace.log

This is a Win7 machine which is used as a media server and an HTPC using WMC. It runs 24x7.
Based on the recording history, there are only two entries, and they don't appear to be have been during the update time (default time os 2:30am).
The task runs and updates on the same machine.

If there is anything else, just let me know.

Okay, so the task isn't starting epg123. Either the task is pointing to the wrong location, or it thinks you are on battery power or the network is not available. I would delete and recreate your task and see if it works after that.

I will recreate the task and see what happens.

Thanks for taking the time to help.

That appears to have worked.

I don't see an error this week, just an exit code of 0x00000000. Which I assume is normal.

Thanks again.
