[QUOTE="jmbillings, post: 954869, member: 76827"] I was gonna submit a bug-report for this but I'm using 1.3.0 Beta. I still think it's a bug though as I can now reproduce it! It relates back to my post [URL='https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/strange-problem-with-some-dialogs-not-showing.115523/']here[/URL] though. My IR.ini file doesn't seem to handle long filepaths. (I'd recently changed it to let me press the green button to start up MP if I had closed it to access the config) Anything with a space breaks: "c:\program files\team mediaportal\mediaportal\mediaportal.exe" gives "c:\program " not found. I tried wrapping in quotes too, but the problem persisted. I changed it to the short-path: "c:\progra~1\teamme~1\mediaportal\mediaportal.exe" and now it works. BUT - launching MP this way, breaks Mediaportal. NO dialogs will show (see attached error log) and in addition, exiting MP crashes with an IO error. So I think this is a bug - the launchpath shouldn't affect the working of the application. Not sure where to report it though... :) [/QUOTE]
