Hi guys,

I just tried to install the new MediaPortal 0.2.3.0 RC1 and had problems using the MAME function in MyPrograms. So I went back to 0.2.2.0 through quite some SVN's to find out when the error occured first.
MediaPortal SVN-Snapshot: 05-30-2007 01-02h - Revision:14754 contains the changes which are responsible for the error.


Changelog for this SVN includes the following changes to the MyPrograms function:

MyPrograms 29/05/2007 [22:15:08] chefkoch added: fixed: some control were still visible after H (switchHome) was pressed in GUIProgramInfo-screen
MyPrograms 29/05/2007 [22:15:08] chefkoch added: fixed: null-reference exception when thumbnail was rendered during DirectX-Device reset
MyPrograms 29/05/2007 [22:15:08] chefkoch added: fixed: facadeView was not updated after lunching an fileitem, old lunchcount or -time was displayed
MyPrograms 29/05/2007 [22:15:09] chefkoch added: fixed: the default view and sorting, which can be set in config were not loaded
MyPrograms 29/05/2007 [22:16:09] chefkoch added: fixed: null-reference exception when thumbnail was rendered during DirectX-Device reset
MyPrograms 29/05/2007 [22:17:44] chefkoch added: fixed: facadeView was not updated after lunching an fileitem, old lunchcount or -time was displayed



Before these changes MAME used to look like this:

Afterwards it looks like this:

note: an extra depth of directories was added.

note: None of the games works anymore !



The logs of MediaPortal contain nothing about what happens when I try to start a game but I attach them anyway (I opened MediaPortal, navigated to "MyPrograms -> Mame" and tried to start every game. Afterwards I closed MediaPortal.). Any help would be appreciated.

PS: I already postet in the 0.2.2.0 Bugreport section but I was told to post it here in the 0.2.3.0 section afterwards, so please don't kill me for doubleposting

hi level20peon

could you pls try to use files view? press the switch view button on the left.
There were also some db changes, try to rename your db file and reconfigure the mame application item.

regards

Thanks for your answer

could you pls try to use files view? press the switch view button on the left.

That did the trick. I see all Games and can start them. Nevertheless, the view mode changes back when I exit Mame. How can I avoid this ?

I already tried that

Any hints ?

*bump*

I cannot update MediaPortal anymore if I am unable to use Mame after MediaPortal SVN-Snapshot: 05-30-2007 01-02h - Revision:14754.
I am asking myself if anybody uses Mame at all

I am seeing the exact same behaviour, and its not limited to mame games.

Any I configure through My Programs - using the Directory cache for example - shows the same behaviour. I am using an SVN later than 14754 when the problems begin as you say.

I have 3 directory caches configured. An icon shows for each properly. But, when I enter each(instead of seeing the icons for each game), I see another generic folder, that then takes me to all the game with the default folder icon instead of the image file listed under setup for my programs. Just as you pictured above.

I can switch view as recommended above, and its okay - but I have to do this every single time I open my programs.

Im no expert, but the filename is called ProgramDatabaseV4.db3...is there a problem with sqlite expecting V3? A couple plugins (worldmap, BHA for example) include/use System.Data.SQLite.DLL...maybe there is a conflict in versioning?

 

[level20peon]

hey ronsonol,

I created a workaround that should display all files correctly for Mame (I don't use another emulator atm).

Seems like a query which asks for the filename is broken since there are queries possible asking for launchdate, most launched etc but not for filenames. I cannot specify this any further since I am no expert but the fact remains that the standard configuration does not work. Since we two seem to be the only persons who use MAME just test my workaround for now, maybe there will be support sometime.

[ronsonol]

Thanks - That fixed it for me too!

 

[level20peon]

Well are there any news on this ? What I created was just a workaround, it didn't solve this error at all. Maybe the dev who is responsible for this should fix it permanently.

I wanted to play some games through the emulaters configured in My Programs but encountered the same problem you describe. But here its Project64 and ZNES.

I will try your workaround as soon as I am back to my MediaPortal PC and give some more feedback. Another idea: since this bug is also in 0.2.3.1 RC2 shouldn't it be moved over there? (I can't just quite understand the purpose of five bugreport forums, since all people are encouraged to post there complete system details anyway.)
