I am running the latest serverwmc (Assembly version: 1.0.0.61, build: 1236) on a WIndows 7 system.
I run serverwmc as a service.
Lately, I converted to epg123 to load the guide data in the WMC database because of all the problems with the Rovi guide data.
This works great but when the epg123Client program starts the ReindexSearchRoot task, it stops the serverwmc service and
I have to restart it manually.
This is consistent, it runs every day at 6 am from the Task Scheduler as set up in epg123.
The serverwmc service log does not show any information about the crash. It just stops
The Windows Event Log Viewer shows:
The ServerWMC PVR Backend Service service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 3 time(s).
The epg123 trace.log does not show any problem:

[9/29/2016 6:03:33 AM] ====================== Completed epg123 client execution. =====================
Serverwmc and epg123 are really useful apps to allow WMC to survive…
Thanks to the developers responsible for both utilities.
