SageTVService still running but stops responding..

[jprine01]

This is a new problem so maybe it was just a 1 time fluke? But I'll let you guys know what happen maybe somebody can shed light. I'm using Sage 6.1.9 Server and client, and some MVP's. About 9 hours ago the only GUI open was on the client PC watching LiveTV. I watched the ClientPC for over a hour and everything was working. Then when I come back hours later I see my client stopped watching LiveTV, I pull up the menu and change the channel. It says it "cannot connect to the sagetv server/service".

My first thought was something crashed, computer got turned off etc etc. I go check out the server and all seems ok, i open the sage GUI and on the server PC I get the same error "cannot connect to sage service".
I open up Computer Management -> Services and look at SageTV Service and its running. I hit Task Manager and I see SageService listed and it doesn't look frozen.

So I opened the GUI a few times thinking it may connect but no go. I restarted the SageTVService then tried the GUI and it finally came back.

Anyway I'm sure i'll post more if it repeats.

I have similar occasional freezing up of the sage-service - usually related to leaving the MVP 'on' after a show that is being watched has ended....annoying when it happens...have to restart the service and sagetv- and sometimes even restart the computer messing up all current recordings.
