Crash of configuration after new Installation Win (1 Viewer)

[Der_Bub]

Hi,

I made a fresh instal of Windows 7 and with this the drive letter of System Partion did change from G to C .

If I open MovPic Config it crashes and within MediaPortal I don't have any pictures:

It seems that Path to Picture folder couldn't be updated! It should be:

C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\thumbs\MovingPictures ...

How can I change this?

(I don't want ti upgrade to 1.0 beta )

Thanks!

You I think are not going to have an easy time changing this der bub. If the config screen is failing to open, the only way is to actually open the database with a program like Sqliteman. The path is stored under the settings table. This is a non trivial task but if you want to try, the queries to change your artwork paths are:

update settings set value='c:\myartwork\covers\full' where key = 'cover_art_folder';
update settings set value='c:\myartwork\covers\thumb' where key = 'cover_art_folder';

update settings set value='c:\myartwork\backdrops\full' where key = 'backdrop_folder';
update settings set value='c:\myartwork\backdrops\thumb' where key = 'backdrop_thumbs_folder';

You will obviously need to change the paths in those queries to match the actual artwork paths on your system. I must warn you though that you may run into other issues. You have effectively moved your Moving Pictures install from one machine to another and it's not designed to handle that.

Thank you very much! With this I could solve the problem!

A little idea: Maybe you could use a more dynamic/relative path description. In some AHK scripts I use "%A_ProgramFiles%\..." for Program installation path and it worked with XP32 and Win7 64bit . Maybe there is a similar way for User Path?!? As far as I know, there's something in registry...

Once again thanks for the support and this brilliant Plugin!

Yes, we plan to change this. What we really should be doing is respecting the path values in the mediaportaldirs.xml file. We actually do read from there for the initial settings, but if it is changed later, this change is not detected in Moving Pictures.

Glad you got the issue resolved.
