MP has just decided not to start!!! (1 Viewer)

[tonewheelkev]

....Gets to 'loading windows plugins' stage....and then stops working and has to be closed!

Prior to this....did a fresh install...on a fresh install of Windows 10. Initially OK......but failed after I made some adjustments via Titan editor!

Logs attached.......suppose I could try without Titan??

So, it appears Windows is blocking the MovingPictures plugin from accessing a file that it needs to access.

Is it a permissions thing?

Films are on 3 drives...D,E and F
Have now tidied up labels....but problem is the same!

Is it a permissions thing?

It does seem like it might be.

Disabling Moving pictures got me back in!
Wonder why?

Disabling Moving pictures got me back in!
Wondwer why?

I did say in my first response that it was MovingPictures that was trying to access this folder, so I'm not surprised.

 

[tonewheelkev]

So....if Moving Pictures is the culprit....is there a fix.....or a better alternative??

 

[mm1352000]

In regards to a fix...
The exception/error message can't be much clearer. If the problem is that MediaPortal/MovingPictures are not authorised to access D, E and/or F drives, then the logical fix would be to configure the permissions on your D, E and F drives appropriately. Those permissions are completely in your hands. Nothing further I can say or do to help you with that.

In regards to an alternative...
Pass. I have no answer.
