My EPG123 scheduled task is set to run at 9am, and usually nothing is recording at that time but when something is, EPG123 has previously worked fine waiting until all recordings are finished to do the import. I recently updated to 1.3.8.20, and I've been following the thread on how this new version triggers the WMC garbage cleanup task as part of the import process.
Yesterday, there was a marathon and the computer was recording from 9am-1am solid. According to the logs, EPG123 waited until there were no more recordings to perform the import, but it did run PerformGarbageCleanup from 9am-9:16am while a recording was in progress.
At 1:07am, just a few minutes after EPG123 seemed to successfully import the guide, there is a Warning event from mcstore "Recovery of guide listings and recording schedule is complete.". I couldn't open WMC until I restarted the computer (a warning box popped up with a generic "can't open WMC" error). After I restarted, WMC opened normally but popped up the "Guide recovered please check your schedules" error box. It looked like the entire WMC database was reset, the guide was empty and it seemed WMC needed to rescan my Recorded TV folder from scratch.
I guess my question is, could EPG123 running the garbage cleanup while WMC was recording cause this problem, did recording for 16 hours straight cause an issue, or is it a total coincidence? My WMC computer was also set up years ago, so it was running the garbage cleanup task on its own at the normal interval (I think).
I've attached the log below, thanks for your help!
