Exception when opening MyTVS config (1 Viewer)

[barabbas]

Whenever I try opening the config screen I get the following exception:

************** Exception Text **************
System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'SubtitleDownloader.Core.SubtitleDownloaderFactory' threw an exception. ---> System.Reflection.ReflectionTypeLoadException: Unable to load one or more of the requested types. Retrieve the LoaderExceptions property for more information.

Nothing helpful appears in the logs. I am using the latest release. No idea what's going wrong here.

Could you check whether you have SubtitleDownloader.dll in your MP root? If not, reinstall MyTVS. If it is there, do the same

I have the same bug with MP 1.0.2 and reinstalling the plugin does not help. Is there a way to disable the subtitle plugin? I don't need it and don't want it

I feel this is operating system / .NET version related. What operating system are you running? Which .NET Framework version?

Windows XP SP3 and .NET Framework 3.5 sp1

The biggest problems are

1) I cannot reproduce this on my systems (HTPC (Vista) & desktop PC (Win7)) -> cannot debug

2) Error message doesn't do any good, it only tells where the error is, not what is causing it

 

[Inker]

You could always provide a debug version that logs extra things (most likely you only need to to catch the exception and log its details - as the exception itself suggest) to know what goes wrong.

In general, the plugin should function without the subtitle dll thingy even present. Alot of users dont even need it, and it is not an integral part of its functionality.

I am having the same exact issue after upgrading to the newly released MediaPortal 1.1.0 RC2. Can't even get into the configuration at all because of this.

I'm running on Windows 7 64-bit and have .NET Framwork 3.5 SP1 installed. Re-installed the newest version of the TV Series plugin and re-installed .NET and it is still doing it.

I'll try and get some log files up here.

I just installed fresh 1.1.0 RC2 yesterday and TVSeries 2.5.3 and I still cannot reproduce this issue on Win7 64-bit.

Is there any IRC user who has this issue and could help me to debug this problem in "real-time"?

I'm on IRCNet and Freenode.

Can someone who has this issue test if TVSeries 2.5.2 has the same issue?

I had the same issue, but when I opened the plugins tab I also got the message that the Online Videos plugin wasn't compatible and couldn't be loaded.
After I deleted the plugin from my install folder, the problem with TV series was also gone.
