Two days ago, my epg123 client started started having errors. epg123 update is fine, but the client update fails. Here's an example of a log snippet:

Code: Select all

Any ideas what's going wrong? The only thing I've tried other than manually pulling some updates and rebooting is clearing the cache.

I should add, after this happens, the next update runs into errors at garbage cleanup also:

Looks like your database is corrupted.

Open the client and click the [Rebuild WMC Database] button. After you import the MXF file, you'll be back in business. You will lose your recording history (not the recordings), but everything else should be good.
