EPG123 ERROR

[mgneeve]

Hi. I've been running EPG123 very successfully for some time now, but just recently (after the latest Windows 10 update I think?) it comes up with this error and when I try to record anything WMC crashes out and the screen goes black, after the WMC error reporting pop-up.
I've tried reloading v1.7.0.8 with the same result. I also had to restart my WMC TV setup.
This is a copy of the failure from the log:
[17/10/21 21:03:03] Entering RunWmcIndexTask(PvrScheduleTask)

Any ideas please?

I'm pretty sure this is going to be a problem with your WMC install on Win10. Sounds like the WMC tasks either don't exist or are corrupt.

Thanks for your fast reply Gary and sorry for my slow responce!
I did a little work to try to restore the WMC installation and this is the current situation:

This looks similar to me, so How do i get the missing files added to WMC please?

Thanks Mick

I should just add that I seem to have 14 days listings each time I rerun the update or when EPG123 runs automatically. Live TV is also fine. The problem is when I try to rercord anything.
Cheers

I'm kind of thinking that I need to reinstall WMC. I'll try that anyway, until I hear back from you.
Thanks again Gary.

Mick
(Now, how did I do that WMC install again!)

[mgneeve]

Oh! Guess what?
I uninstalled then reinstalled WMC and EPG123 and everything runs perfectly now!
Thanks for all of the support and assistance you offer and provide. It is so important to know that there is someone else to speak with about these issues.
Great work Gary. Thanks again!
