"initializing data provider manager" long pause after installing win 8.1 (1 Viewer)

[piernik]

Hello,

after update to windows 8.1 (from win 8.0) Movingpictures stoped working. It breaks on "initializing data provider manager".
Is something with my database?
What can it be?

Here is my log file.
Mediaportal and movingpictures are in newest version

Ok, you are running stable release: MovingPictures 1.5.1:1487.
I myself run development release: MovingPictures 1.5.2:1528 on Windows 8.1 with MediaPortal 1.5 (soon to be 1.6)

You can download that one as well from the IMDb+ download section on Google project site. It is not an easy MSI/MPE1 installation, you have to manually do stuff, including manually fixing your skin files to also update to the new features in use. Still if you ignore all the skin mistakes, such as #MovPic.skin.headers, it should still work (keep in mind that PLAY button needs to be made active, because without updated skins it won't play instant otherwise).

More then likely that will fix things for you, or you can wait till a new official stable release is issued. A lot of problems were fixed back in April on the development side, so I am sure it will not take much longer

I waited for a long time (more than 10 minutes) and it went on. So movingpictures isn't broken - it just making somthing for a very long time? What can it do?

I don't want to install not official things :/

The source code/development is official. Install Visual Studio, download the source and compile your own otherwise. It means you are missing out on 41 fixes, and infact there is already a higher revision available at the development site.

Or wait patiently for the project owner to release a new official installer.

There is *NO* fix possible any other way.

Your call.

Hello again.

I've installed 1.6 beta of Moving pictures and I still have the same problem.
It takes about 5-10 minutes to start MP.

Very long time takes Parsing scriptable scraper
It parses all version of scraper - even those old, overwritten once.
I make filmweb.pl scraper and It checks 20 versions of that script - why?
How to disable it?

It also checkes inactive scripts

Here is my log file

Edit:
I turned off debug scrapers and now it's lodaing fast - this was the issue

But why it's loading previous versions of scrapers?
