[QUOTE="K24A3, post: 1076299, member: 104233"] I have my own .NET app (not an MP plugin) that uses the dll's from the MediaPortal source to retrieve the Scheduled recordings. I reference TVBusinessLayer.dll in my app and then call the code shown below. It was working perfectly in MP 1.6, since I updated the referenced DLL to 1.7 and MediaPortal itself to 1.7, I am getting an exception: TVData Initialize EXCEPTION: The type initializer for 'Gentle.Framework.ProviderFactory' threw an exception. System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'Gentle.Framework.ProviderFactory' threw an exception. ---> System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.Reflection.ReflectionTypeLoadException: Unable to load one or more of the requested types.

The connection string is the same as in gentle.config, which works fine in MediaPortal itself. Both MP and my app are on the same PC. If I revert back to a previous version of my app which uses the v1.2 MP dll's it works fine again. The DLL's references in my app was originally from MP v1.2, the TV Server was 1.6, this was working fine. Perhaps there was a change in the dll v1.3 or higher? [/QUOTE]
