6.2.4-SagetvService:timeout,failed to start

[DRAK]

just noticed this when a server reboot failed to allow mvp connection!

in event viewer:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: Service Control Manager
Event Category: None
Event ID: 7009
Date: 03/07/2007
Time: 13:30:58
User: N/A
Computer:
Description:
Timeout (30000 milliseconds) waiting for the SageTV service to connect.

THEN

Event Type: Error
Event Source: Service Control Manager
Event Category: None
Event ID: 7000
Date: 03/07/2007
Time: 13:30:58
User: N/A
Computer:
Description:
The SageTV service failed to start due to the following error:
The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.

not a biggie for me as i leave server on 24/7, so i can start it manually but if there was to be an automatic restart i would be stuffed

any ideas?

nobody else having this problem i take it?

things i've tryed are,

increase services timeout to 60000 ms
interact with desktop
log on as admin

Still no luck

Is this on XP or Vista?

Try going into the actual services on the machine and setup your user and password from there instead of through the Sage service control app. You should get a dialog box after sucessfully logging in that the user can now use the service or something like that.

it's on win2k3.

Thanks for the suggestion but i already tried all combinations with sage app
and through windows services. it starts manually ok just not automatically at
restart.

I've seen this too, on a cold boot. Service starts fine if you do it manually, but doesn't seem to go if Windows tries to kick it off on bootup. Oh, and Server 2k3 here.

Wonder if it has anything to do with WHS? Supposedly that's 2k3 based, and both of us are on 2k3.

[DRAK]

Not just me then.

Does it on warm boot too!

Mabe some setting they changed to accommodate whs

BTW. was perfect on 6.1.

Drak,

I'm having the same problem too. I'm running Vista Home Premium. The service seems to timeout on startup, but will start normally if I start the SageTV service manually.

[bones5050]

Just a quick update. This is a problem with the beta. I just reinstalled version 6.1.9 and the SageTV service starts up with no problem on a cold boot.

Update

I submitted a bug report and i was told to try my sagetvService.exe from 6.1 which work. Thanks Sage.

I was given a modified SagetvService.exe and that also worked.
So I think they know what the bug is and will get it fixed

I have attached the modified file if anyone either does not have there previous version or just wants it.

I am having the same problem on Windows XP Profesional. Will try to see if this file fixes the problem

This fixed the problem for me, thanks.
