JAVA "Seeker" daemon error help

[Graygeek]

My system has a strange JAVA crash every few days. Below is a excerpt from the hs_err log showing the error is caused by the "seeker" daemon. Any experts out there with a thought of the cause and what the seeker does before I bug Sage support for advice?

Thanks for any advice!

Wow! I'm disappionted there is no one out there that can even tell me what seeker does?

[gplasky]

Well you also have these running in the stack at the time of error:

C [ole32.dll+0x205b2]
C [devenum.dll+0x6f57]


And looking at this it appears it is trying to setup a recording:
j sage.DShowCaptureDevice.setupEncodingGraph0(JLjava/lang/StringV+0
j sage.DShowCaptureDevice.e(Ljava/lang/StringV+199
j sage.Sage.if(Lsage/DShowCaptureDevice;Ljava/lang/StringV+20
j sage.DShowCaptureDevice.a(Lsage/a2;Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/StringV+132

Might have something to do with your HAVA tuner?

[Graygeek]

Thanks for the reply Gerry, but I've had this error long before the HAVA, I had thought it was related to the Avermedia M780's .... but I have tracked it across all my tuners which made me wonder is something else was at play. Baring any other solution, I'll end up pulling the M780's in favor of a second HDHR.

[gplasky]

It's does seem tuner related. And it does make more sense for it to be Avermedia related since it occurred pre-Hava.
