For some reason my Media Server for Tivo HMO has stopped working. I have it configured to run on port 8080 with the Tivo Beacon service.

I was running MC 9.0.152 and I noticed when I would start the Media Server I wasn't getting the "TiVo HTTP ready for connections" message in the status window.  

After double and triple checking my configuration, I thought it might have been an issue with MC 9.0.152 so I did a complete uninstall and went back to MC 9.0.151.  

I started the server and then the message returned and my Tivo was detecting it ok.  Here is the status when it is working:

04/17/03 00:57:55 - sharer starting
04/17/03 00:57:55 - Initializing server.
04/17/03 00:57:55 - Server initialized
04/17/03 00:57:55 - sharer ready to accept connections
04/17/03 00:57:55 - Started auto response thread on port 5556.
04/17/03 00:57:55 - TiVo HTTP ready for connections

Of course I had to reimport my media because my library was empty again after the uninstall and re-install.  So after bringing all my media back in, I restarted the Media Server again and now the "TiVo HTTP ready for connections" is missing again and my Tivo does not detect it.  Here is the status when it is not detected:


04/17/03 01:02:07 - Stopped auto response thread.
04/17/03 01:02:08 - sharer starting
04/17/03 01:02:08 - Initializing server.
04/17/03 01:02:08 - Server initialized
04/17/03 01:02:08 - sharer ready to accept connections
04/17/03 01:02:08 - Started auto response thread on port 5556.

I stopped and restarted it a couple more times to be sure it wasn't a quirk, but something is definately goofy with this:

04/17/03 01:02:30 - Stopped auto response thread.
04/17/03 01:02:30 - sharer starting
04/17/03 01:02:30 - Initializing server.
04/17/03 01:02:30 - Server initialized
04/17/03 01:02:30 - sharer ready to accept connections
04/17/03 01:02:30 - Started auto response thread on port 5556.
04/17/03 01:03:07 - Stopped auto response thread.
04/17/03 01:03:22 - sharer starting
04/17/03 01:03:22 - Initializing server.
04/17/03 01:03:22 - Server initialized
04/17/03 01:03:22 - sharer ready to accept connections
04/17/03 01:03:22 - Started auto response thread on port 5556.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I took this one step further, rolling my software back to MC 9.0.150 and finally the problem went away.  it looks like a problem may have been introduced in any version greater than 9.0.150.

I don't think it's a 152 problem.  It works fine here.  

Make sure you have the release version of TiVo's software, and not the beta.

It could be a timing issue with respect to startup.  

I think you're saying though that stopping and starting does not fix the problem.

We'll dig into this more today.
