Re: Session terminates when using xbox 360 as extender

Allan - are you still seeing this? (I see from a later post that Jonas'
issue was resolved by turning off Super-G on his PC's USB wireless adapter).

Hi Jonas,

Sorry I wasn't much help. I got a little excited when the behaviour of my
machine seemed to replicate yours. The error messages are vastly
different.

I can only wish you good luck.

Probably not a bug. Just a bizzare coincidence. Were we three
downloading and
installing the same Update while watching the Media Center via an X-Box
360.

My Session Terminated at 8:57:08 PM Australian Time.
At that precise time Service Control Manager sent stop controls to the
Media
Center Receiver Service, the Media Center Scheduler Service, and the
Media
Center Extender Service. These services entered the stopped state. And
at
8:57:11 PM, NtSevicePack reported that Windows XP Media Center Edition
200
Hotfix KB 919803 was installed.

Looking through the log, it seems that the Service Control Manager
sends
stop controls left, right and center as these Updates are being
installed. It
also issues start controls, but not in this case.

Turn off the X-Box, reboot the computer, and turn the X-Box 360 back
on.

Hello Jonas,

You are second person in the last to hours to report this type of
problem.
See jmhs2004's messsage, "Unauthorised window was detected while ...
"

It sounded suspicious to me, so I fired up the X-Box 360 on Live TV.
Ten/Fifteen minutes later. "Session Terminated. Another user or
application
on the Windows Media Center-based PC has disconnected this device."
Two
Buttons at the bottom of the screen: "Reconnect" or "Exit".
"Reconnect" leads
to that dreaded screen "Can't ccontact PC.... make sure your PC is on
and
connected to the network"

Quick check of the X-Box's IP address... 192.168.0.263... that seems
OK.

Back to the Computer's Event Viewer...under Application log.... big
red
cross... Source: Media Center Remote Manager, Event ID 10, The shell
exited
unexpectedly.

I think we've found a bug.

An hour before I had "custom" downloaded and installed all the
sixty-eight
"critical" updates from Windows Updates. This event occured as I was
downloading the all the Optional Updates except dotNEt 2.

Around three hours ago, I set up the X-Box 360, and was watching Live
TV for
around an hour before coming back here.

The only application, I have been running is IE. The only Symantec
product I
have left is Norton AntiVirus, but Automatic LiveUpdate has been
turned off
turned off, so can't really blame Symantec for this one.

My set up is X-Box 360 hooked up by cable to my Toshiba Qosmio G20
Laptop,
and Laptop plugged into phone line via 56k dial-up modem. Accessing
X-Box
Live via Internet Connection Sharing in my Laptop. (Not really
accessing
anything very much because the bandwidth is pretty tight... just my
account
stuff) Pretty simple.

So, what's going on?

Hi,

I have problems using my Xbox 360 as a media center extender. After
a couple
of minutes of use the session typically terminates with a "Session
terminated" message. It doesn't seem to be connected with a certain
task, it
happens when I view images, stream TV, etc.

When it happens I see the following two errors in the event log:

"Faulting application mcmgr.exe version 6.1.2715.2783 faulting
module
unknown, version 0.0.0.0 fault adress 0x0000000c"

Unauthorized window was detect while running the Media Center
Experience
"MCRMgr". with the file name 'C:\\Winodws\system32\dwwin.exe

I have the following setup:

XBox 360 connected using a wired connection to a Netgear WPN824
router.
Windows Media Center PC connected to the router using a wireless
connection,
using a 3Com OfficeConnect Wireless 108 Mbps 11g USB adapter.
My PC is close to the router so there are no problems with the
wireless
connection being out of range or something like that.

My PC has an AMD X2 4200+ processor, Asus A8N32-SLI motherboard, a
GeForce
7900 GT graphics card, and a Hauppauge WinTV-HVR1300 TV-card.
I am running Windows Media Center 2005 Edition with all the patches
installed.

Anyone that has any idea of what might be wrong?

Best regards,

/Jonas
