Menu Items Missing On Home Screen (1 Viewer)

[tgxiii]

It's difficult to explain this in words, so I've attached some screenshots.

When I navigate the home screen on MediaPortal 1.2.1, some items are missing. At first, I thought it was the skin I was using (StreamedMP), but then I tried other skins and they all behave in a similar way.

Home screen preference is set to "Classic and Basic, prefer Basic".

aMPed: The screenshot is the screen I see after selecting "Videos" on the home screen and pressing the right arrow key.
Black Glass Nova HD: The screenshot is after selecting "TV" in the home screen.
DefaultWide: The screenshot is after pressing the green button on my MCE remote (switching from Basic home to Classic home).
StreamedMP: The screenshot is the first screen I see once MediaPortal loads (the Basic home screen).

I did an uninstall of MP 1.1 before installing 1.2.

Any idea what could be causing this? Thanks in advance.

Hi tgxiii

Any idea what could be causing this? Thanks in advance.

A messed up install, incompatible plugins/skins, or something like that...

Post logs using the watchdog so we can check out what is going on.

Here you go. First one is with no plugins and using the default skin; second one is with plugins and StreamedMP skin.

Hi again

Well the StreamedMP logs show there is clearly a problem - exceptions are constantly being thrown:

2011-10-12 19:07:39.551213 [Info.][MPMain(1)]: render exceptionystem.EntryPointNotFoundException: Unable to find an entry point named 'FontEngineSetClipEnable' in DLL 'fontEngine.dll'.

The FontEngineSetClipEnable being referred to *does* exist in fontEngine.dll, so do you have fontEngine.dll somewhere in your MP install folder? File size should be 97.5 KB.

fontEngine.dll in my install folder is 513 KB, so that might be it. When I uninstalled 1.1, I chose the third option (the one that cleans up everything, including registry keys), but I didn't delete the installation folder.

I take it this means I have to do a re-installation?

Possibly for the best, yes. You could try just replacing that file with the one from -->here<-- first and seeing if that helps (make sure you take a backup of the original one).

Awesome, thank you so much for your time!

It's working for now, but I will do a full re-installation later (I'll also make sure to delete the installation folder this time).
