No, usually the backend is up by the time anyone watches any TV. Tom Metro-10 wrote: > > Post your dongle.bin.conf.

I was thinking the .config file was only read on a hard power on, and the soft power on/off did not. The startup tasks go by fairly quickly, so I'm not exactly sure what is being done and what could hang. As I mentioned, I can't telnet to the box when it is in its psychotic loop, so I'm not sure I could get any logs out of it. Is there perhaps some timeout on the DHCP lease or SMB connection that drops overnight, causing problems in the morning? Here's one thing I just thought - the DHCP server on my backend doesn't start automatically. I was thinking it was only needed to server the dongle and config, but does it need to be up all the time? Normally the router provides DHCP (except I give all devices a specific IP in the router), but the backend is providing the TFTP server. Here's the config (also attached). I don't use VLC but it was in there as a test and never taken out. rdate -s 192.168.1.3 echo 192.168.1.3 speedyk >> /etc/hosts echo 192.168.1.27 mvp >> /etc/hosts # set up filesystem links to server mkdir /data mkdir /data/s-pvr mkdir /data/s-library mount.cifs \\\\speedyk/s-library /data/s-library/ -o guest mount.cifs //speedyk/s-pvr /data/s-pvr/ -o guest # start mvpmc mvpmc --web-port 8888 -f /etc/helvR10.fnt -S 0 -s 192.168.1.3 -y 192.168.1.3 -u mythtv -p xxxx -T mythconverg --weather-location USMO0787 --vlc 192.168.1.3 & http://www.nabble.com/file/p15163468/dongle.bin.mvpmc.config dongle.bin.mvpmc.config -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/startup-failures-after-backend-shutdown-tp15143662s24861p15163468.html Sent from the MediaMVP Media Center - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
