Warning Stop Allshare Service

north43west80,

In my post (portuguese) here: http://vextenso.com.br/blog/106/interromper-o-servico-allshare.html, I found that this problem is caused by some file problems in your library that crashes AllShare service.

Detect the file is not easy if you have a lot of it, but after remove them, AllShare will run without any problem. I have Windows 7 64bits.

Also, if you can't remove files, try removing libraris from the AllShare XML settings at: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Samsung\AllShare\AllShareDMS\AllShareDmsConfiguration.xml"

Apparently a regular file (Ozzy - Crazy Train.mp3) is one of the files causing problem for me.

I hope Samsung release a patch soon.

Regards,

Since updating to Samsung AllShare v2.1.0.12031_10 from 2012-04-02 (which solved some other bugs, e.g. now finally very large folders are viewable), I experienced this "Warning Stop Allshare Service", too. After booting into Windows XP (SP3), sometimes AllShared worked, but most of the time the AllShare symbol in info tray turned pale with red X.

Control Panel -> Management -> Event Viewer -> Application then always shows:

----- start of error message -----
[q][quote]Service cannot be started. System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80010002): Call was canceled by the message filter. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80010002 RPC_E_CALL_CANCELED))

After months of repeated investigation--without any helpful answers by Smasung--, I seem to have found the deeper cause and a solution at last:

The "SamsungAllshareV2.0" service seems to need "Windows Management Instrumentation" (winmgmt) service up and running!

On older/slower systems Allshare happens to start up before winmgmt is ready, and fails. And whey you (the user) eventually restart Allshare manually, surprisingly everything works fine, because util then winmgmt already is fully functional.

The solution is to make the Allshare service depend on winmgmt service! Then Windows itself safeguards the proper startup sequence ...

Making SamsungAllshareV2.0 service depend on winmgmt service needs this tiny registry modification:
----- start of SamsungAllshareFix.reg -----
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SamsungAllShareV2.0]
"DependOnService"=hex(7):77,00,69,00,6e,00,6d,00,67,00,6d,00,74,00,00,00,00,00

----- end of SamsungAllshareFix.reg -----

Or manually in Registry Editor, this simply means setting value "winmgmt" (without the quotes).

This fix works perfectly for me, and the Samsung Allshare service now starts up fine every time!

Ciao,

I had this same problem once I upgraded to Win 7 64 bit. This is a 32 bit program and does not play well in the 64 bit environment. Simply right click on the executable (usually found in the Program Files (x86)\Samsung\AllShare folder), select Properties, then the Compatibility tab, and I have been using the Windows XP (Service Pack 2) mode for several weeks with no stoppages (which were occurring about every 60 seconds or so).

I'm really surprised to discover that Microsoft or Smasung does not have this info in their forums.

Good Luck

I had the same problem, server shutting down while it updates. The reason it was doing this on mine was when it updates and it comes to a movie file that has an error, i.e. won't play using normal methods like media player classic for instance, because it can't figure out the format of the file it shuts down. What I did was let it update, open up my computer, make sure your showing hidden files first, then search for MTA files, when you find them set it up so you can see which one was created last, then when your server shuts down see what file it shut down at, remember it updates alphabetically so it's easy to work out which file the updates stopped at. Then move that file somewhere it won't be included in the update and start again. I only had one file that affected it but some people may have more. So repeat until you get out all the files that it stops at. This had me stumped for ages but this worked for me. Good luck. By the way, when I found the bad file and tried to play it to see what was wrong it wouldn't play. It was something I downloaded from a torrent site and never tried it out as soon as I got it, which I do normally do. There you go, Good luck.
