Server keep Crashing each startup : Remoting Client Error, Write IPC failed

[MaRvIn054]

Hi,
the server v1.6.1 on my Win 7 Home Premium x86 keep crashing in loop, I cannot get it working.
I get a popup "program has encountered an error..." and f I click "Terminate the program" it restarts and fails again.

I have the following enties in the debug log file :

28/11/2011 19:03:46: remoting client error: System.Runtime.Remoting.RemotingException: Échec de l'écriture sur un port IPC : Le canal de communication est sur le point d’être fermé.

Any help to make it working would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

it looks like this error message was taken from the file "C:\ProgramData\MCC_Service\mcc_service_debug.txt".

Can you please have a look for the file "%localappdata%\MCC_Server\mcc_server_debug.txt" and send it to me.

Thanks

Hi Lopez1_de,
I had a look on the log, and I found hundreds of the following errors :

Total log size is about 12Mo !
Let me know if you need more information.

Hi,

do you have all available Windows Update Hotfixes installed on your computer?

[lopez1_de]

Hi, please do the following. Just delete the mcc_server_debug.txt and start MCC Server again. Then exit WMC and MCC Server. You should now have a smaller mcc_server_debug.txt. Please send it to contact@mediacentercontrol.com

Thanks

Hi Lopez1_de,

I deleted both debug logs, closed wmc and MCC server.
But when I restart WMC, only mcc_service_degug.txt is created, and the second never comes.
I attached the mcc_service_degug.txt in this post as it's not heavy.

More testing seems to show that the problem occurs after a while and it's fixed when rebooting the pc until it comes up again. When it crashs 7, I notice tons of mcc icons in the taskbar, and they go away when I move the mouse over them.
My win7 x86 home premium is up to date, all updates are applied. This pc is only used for mediacenter purpose, and it stays in suspend mode when it's not used.

For now, I deleted all MCC logs, I rebooted and I wait for the issue occuring.

I have also one little question about mcc : would it be possible to manage the current playlist ? Indeed, when a song is playing, if I click on another it starts playing directly while I would prefer adding it to the playlist and therefore to be played after.   

Thanks.
MaRvIn054.

To add a song to playlist just touch&hold the song (or any other item) and choose from the option.
