1.38 Can't access videos in my video folders.... SOLVED by full reinstall! (5 Viewers)

[tonewheelkev]

Have used MP1.38 64 successfully since it's introduction.....now something has changed.
Video folders are still present.....but now can't access the video files inside.

Perhaps it's a Win11 problem??

I've tried reinstalling ..... and encountered problems (required to download a file, and then paste (I presume) it to a target diectory.) System then says that required files still don't exist....but 'instal' appears to complete.

So.....TV is good.....but no access to vids!

Log attached if that helps!!

Your "MediaPortal-Error.log" file has this line:

[2025-12-13 11:31:14,855] [Error ] [VideoFolderWatcher] [ERROR] - VideoFolderWatcher Unable to turn on monitoring for: Exception: The path is not of a legal form.

Unfortunately, the log does not show what path it does not like.

Might there be some way of getting that info. I wonder!!?

OK....perhaps impatient of me I know, but went for a full reinstall....and now up and running once more.
Have no idea what was at the root of this problem....still wondering if it may've been due to a Win11 update earlier this week?
