I have updated 1.2.1 to 1.2.2 and the MediaPortalDirs.xml was overvrited. I had modified it for move directory to ramdisk.

Before update is better to backup MediaPortalDirs.xml.

Bye.

    Hi there :)

    If you use a custom MediaPortalDirs.xml, it must be located in the user's MyDocs folder.

    Do you still have your install log file? (folder locations)
    That will reveal the exact path where you need to put it.
    Example, mine looks like this:
    [ERROR !!!] Loading MediaPortalDirectories from MyDocs failed. ('C:\Users\htpc\Documents\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortalDirs.xml')
    [ INFO] Trying to load from installation directory now.
    [ INFO] Loaded MediaPortalDirectories from InstallDir successfully. ('C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\MediaPortalDirs.xml')
    So on my htpc, I need to put it in C:\Users\htpc\Documents\Team MediaPortal\ if I want MP to preserve it.

    Many many years ago, I opened a bug report after I got that same message but I never got a reply.

I kept the "Media...

    Thanks for your reply. I haven't forgotten about this. I have XMLTV mostly working, but MC2XML used to take care of two things that I have not yet accommodated. These are "New program indication" (for me, that was an asterisk "*" character in the program title) and "automatic time zone conversion". As I understand it, XMLTV is...

    Fixed, I think. Certainly the vintage MP2 installer that I was using no longer installs the LAV filters. I can only assume that these were never part of the install package itself, but rather downloaded during the install, and that link no longer exists. Shame that the installer doesn't indicate this. Last time when I installed the...

    O Frabjous Joy! That seems to have done the trick. Thank you so much for your help and advice, CyberSimian. I hadn't thought of deleting the various folders, but I'll bear that in mind for any future disasters. Now I can record King & Conqueror on Sunday! Cheers Ralph

    I got a similar error yesterday just when a watched episode ended... Didn't copy the logs unfortunately but now i'm in a weird situation. Trakt website shows that episode as watched, but in onlinevideos (where i watched that episode) it still is not flagged as watched. The watched.json doesn't contain that episode but i think it...
