Hello everyone,
I was a happy user of MyFilms for MP for the last year and a half! I'm not sure if anyone has or has seen this same problem as me, I have looked in the forum and online, so apologies if there is a thread which already answers my question.
I have noticed that recently (in the last few days actually) covers were not automatically downloading anymore for movies I add to my collection. All the other details, movie info, fanart etc were downloading fine, but not covers. When I open "MyFilms Configuration" and "Import" to run the AMC Updater manually, I go to "View Movies" and then I select one of the movies which has the cover missing. I click on "Update movie" and IMDB-Full returns the attached list of available movies (see attached screenshot). The first one in the list is the correct one, so I click OK. Then I get the attached error saying:
Error adding data ("Picture") to Movie Update Catalog" Value cannot be null. Parameter name: path2
I have two Media Portal PCs, which were working fine and now are suffering from the exact same problem. These Media Portal PCs run Windows 10 and all the changes they get are Windows updates, and every once in a while I check for any updates to the Media Portal plugins.
I also regularly take system snapshots with a disk imaging software and to be sure that there was no change or update which broke Media Portal I went to the snapshot of 1/1/16 when I am 100% sure the covers were updating. When I recovered it, the problem is still there so it's not a matter of something changing on the PC, and I am more inclined to suspect that something changed with the AMC update process over the internet with IMDB maybe? or something else got updated with scripts or similar?
All the paths in MyFilms configuration and AMC Updater configuration have not changed, and are all accessible (in fact there are the covers of the old movies in the collection there). And as I said I have two Media Portals and both started having the same problem exactly at the same time.
Does anyone have this problem? Anything I'm missing? I'll appreciate any feedback which you may have!
I'll be glad to provide any other information should you need to ask any question!
