I am using Kodi 17 on W10x64 (stupid idea, I know...) with MediaPortal PVR backend. More or less everything works as it should, but in the EPG there are some channels that won't show any data in Kodi. In MediaPortal2, it works.

I think something goes wrong when KODI imports channel information from MP2 TV Server Database. Any ideas on how to fix this?

I already deleted the DB and had MP2 create it from scratch - no improvement. Then I tried MP2 WebEPG - no change. Seems like some channels are "locked" in KODI.

Any ideas?

No ideas at all. I have always found that if it works in MediaPortal, it works in Kodi.

Logs?

Did you check the epg source setting inside the channel management ( PVR Settings ) ? Maybe something went wrong there somehow.

Thank you so much, that helped, there were two wrong channel settings.

Anyway, the second problem still exists: Kodi crashes short after start at about 50% of starts while connecting to PVR server and importing TV Guide. Any idea how to fix this?

This is the log of a crash short after start (is there a way to attach files to a post?):

To be honest i guess both issues belong together. Since you probably did not manually change something inside the channel management there must be a reason why those settings were wrong.

Any chance that you would wipe kodi totally once and do a clean install? Including manually deleting the kodi Folder placed here %Appdata%.

Is this a single seat setup?

[midniteman]

Yes, single seat setup. I updated from V16.

I am already thinking about a complete clean install on Win7 instead of Win10. What do you think, can I export and import the MediaPortal settings without running the risk of transferring the bugs to the new installation?

[JackTramiel]

I´d start with a clean kodi install. Uninstall Kodi, manually delete all kept folders. Restart and install kodi. I doubt it is a tvserver issue.
Anyway, in my opinion you can easily Import the exported settings without transfering any bug.

Be Aware that there might problems using the latest mepo2 release. -> http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=313794

If you do not want to use the mepo2 frontend you could install mepo1. Both use the same tvserver, so you do not loose any functionality.
Would do a full install. Having the Client installed too can become very handy.
