Service wont start

Post by syphenologist » Thu Mar 02, 2023 9:16 am

Hi Gary,

EPG123 has been running fine on my system for 6+ months and it's been a perfect set-and-forget guide solution until today I realised guide data was missing.

I tried hitting the service URL at http://servername:9009, and it didn't work, then I tried locally, and it was the same. Going to the server and hitting start tries to run but seems to just fail.

I tried running NET START epg123Server, and it shows the following.

Code: Select all

The EPG123 Server service is starting.
The EPG123 Server service could not be started.

The service did not report an error.
Im not sure if that would even work though. I've updated to the latest and the latest prerelease 1.7.3.5 and I've still got the same issue. I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling and that didnt help either. Reading through the forum I saw server log referenced but I assume I lost that when uninstalling :(

I'm not sure where else to look or what to try.

Any help would be appreciated.

There's either something wrong with the imageCache.json file or a corrupted image in the cache. Rename the c:\programdata\garyan2\epg123\images folder to images_old and try to start the service again.
