[Plugin] MPSync - MediaPortal multi-seat Synchronization (2 Viewers)

[scythe000]

I still seem to be having issues. MP regularly pops open a "mediaportal has expected an issue and needs to close" message, like the whole program crashed, but if i click ok, everything seems to still run fine. Also, watched progress is definitely not synching and the amount of movies in my 'unwatched movies' state seems to vary wildly and has some doubles now.

Cyberhai, can you upload your MPSync.xml

This is a much needed plugin, thanks. But I can't get it to work. My configuration is a separate server, on all the time, running Win8 with a main client running Windows 7 MP 1.3.0. The server copies to the shared folder, but the client does not complete its update; it hangs on "[DEBUG] MPSync: [checkTriggers] waiting for background threads to finish..." repeating this message for hours (stopped it after 10 hours). Any suggestions?​

From a quick look, it seems there is an issue with the MusicDatabasev12.db3 Can you remove from folder on target machine and try the process again.

Also, if it works, is it possible to upload the "faulty" database so that I can see where it is failing to make the plugin handle the error.

Thanks

I dont can uploade this, i can't find the file.
Where should the file be?

 

[thekitehunte]

Thanks for the pointer and I have done a lot of individual substitutions of the database files. It seems that the 'faulty' target database was 'FolderDatabase3'. Do you sync that? I don't see why that should be synchronised from a server (With locations set as D: E: etc against a client with locations set as mapped drive letters - they should not be the same entries in the database, but perhaps I'm misunderstanding what this file is for). Anyway, having deleted and recreated all three databases on the client, sync is now fine. Thanks for the help and file attached for your investigation. The current problem now is that the movie details are not shown when I list in 'shares' sequence, but ok in all the other sort methods - even if I redownload the details from imdb they don't display in 'shares sequence'. If I put the old VideoDatabase file back the details are displayed ok. I'm currently syncing the old database to see what happens. The other small issue is that when I list movies by 'Date Added' they all seem to have today or yesterdays date.

Does the same behaviour exist on your master HTPC? It is strange that these behaviours are happening because the plugin will replicate the exact records from master to server and subsequently any other HTPC would pull that details from server to its database...

Regarding whether to synchronize the FoldersDatabase3.db3, it is up to you. In my case I do synchronize it and don't have an issue since paths on all my HTPCs point to the same folder and drives, but if you have issues, you can omit.

Ok, file found.
