1.7.6 - can't get into configuration>plugins (1 Viewer)

i agree, its gotta be something like firewall/UAC/virus scanner messing with the network connection from it etc, you do have windows 7, disable em, restart, see what happens

Nope. Just turned Windows firewall off and Microsoft Security Essentials off - same thing.

what if you copy the DB to your local C:

modify the registry so it points to that C: version

check if it now loads in plugin configuration

registry key for custom paths is here
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MPTVSeries\DBFile

aha, that fixes it. I'm running Microsoft Security Essentials on both PCs, so i doubt that's the cause. Same user name and pw so i doubt that's it. What am i missing?

 

[mastyman]

well if it didnt work id said something is wrong with your MP/Database etc, since it does work locallly, to me it really seems like a network issue with that pc and the server, since you said it works for your other PCs,

firewall/virus scanner/something along those lines

Id uninstall Microsoft S.E. from client and server both pcs to be sure 100% its not that

It's not the server, otherwise it'd affect the other PCs. I uninstalled MSE from my pc. Still crashes. :-/

It's not the server, otherwise it'd affect the other PCs/

well thats not true in all cases, if you had a firewall on that server for example it could easily just effect traffic from one pc/ip/mac address.

if you copied the db to another/different pc, shared it, mapped it, changed the db path would it work?

OMFG, I fixed it. I re-read your post above,and I thought I had had UAC completely off, but it was just on the setting before bottom. I disabled it, restarted and now I can get in. The crazy thing is that I could get in to the MP-TVSeries Config directly, but just having it installed was making the plugins panel crash the MP-Config screen. So weird, but resolved.
