Crashes on BasicHome screen (1 Viewer)

This has now been added to the MediaPortal Issue tracker thanks to Infinity Loop: 0001956: MediaPortal crashes when going to plugin and back to basic homescreen - MediaPortal Bugtracker

Great news for all us "non-B2/B3" users

Great! This is really an issue when using some of the more 'advanced' skins!

Me too - Alternative ?

I just did a fresh install of:
MediaPortal v1.0
StreamedMP-0.4.298.exe (w/ TV-Series and Moving Pictures)

And it is happening to me also. Seems to always be when returning to the homeScreen. You can't scroll any more and then the crash dialog box appears.

The only other Skin I have run is Blue3 (the default one MP comes with) but not since I installed the StreamedMP-Pack because I read it wasn't compatible with TV-Series and/or Moving Pictures.

I'm pretty new to MP (converting from Meedio) so please excuse the newbie question, but ...

What should I do now? Now that I have setup TV-Series and Moving Pictures ... I'm not sure I can do without them. Is there another less advanced 16x9 Skin that works with them? In your experience, is this something that might take a while to get fixed? The reason I ask is because it sounds like the problem is in the core Skin-Engine and not the Skin itself.

Hi Tesla, you can use the Standard Home instead of the BasicHome screen. Go to Configuraton, and under General settings disable 'Start with Basic Home'

That works - Easy Temp. Work-Around

ITFearMe,

Thanks, that works. Not as pretty but stable is better.

TV Series and Movies (Moving Pictures) are missing from the main menu now, but they can be found under My Plugins.

One little checkmark ... that's got to be the easiest temporary work-around I've ever seen.

You can move TV Series and Moving Pictures from the Plugins menu to the main menu by using the Plugins section of the Media portal configuration application. Just select the plugin in question, and click the "In Home" button.

I'm glad I'm not the only one with this issue. Just FYI, RC3 does not have this issue for me, but RC4 and final version does. I use the Aeon skin and see the crash when I exit out of MPTVSeries, Moving Pictures, or My Emulators (takes a few tries, but it will happen).

I hope the issue is actually being worked on - the 'issue tracker' hasn't been updated since it was logged

Weird, I don't experience any crashes?
