Movie database doesn't work!! (1 Viewer)

[robytex]

I try to post my problem here with the hope that someone could
help me....until now nobody consider me, in other forum area
I can't view the movie info (F3) of my database!!

This is my procedure:
1- install MP, update to the last stable patch.
2- launch setup and configure MP
3- launch setup and enter the fist movie title with the
database editor. (I think this is the simpler way to populate de
database...)
4- save the database and exit setup
5-launch MP, go to MyVideos, highlight the Title of the movie
entered, press F3 and.....only some info appears (cover, title rating)!!!
No info about Director, Plot, Tagline etc....!! But I've entered them!!
Boh!! I've tried the same procedure in 3 different PCs with the same
results!! I'm very sad.
Pleeeese Heeelp me!!

First of all, try to see if the Director caption shows up using the officially supported Skin (namely Blue2).

 

[Inker]

Always use Blue2 first and see if it works there. If so its a skin problem that the skin author needs to be informed about.

2nd cross-posting is never a good thing. If nobody helps you in the other forum, what makes you think somebody will here?

 

[robytex]

I've tried with the default skin (Blue2) and I have the
same problem!
How is it possible to have the same problem in 3 PCs (2 WXP and 1 W2K)

Inker
you are right....I'm not used to do so, but I'm really desperate and don't
want to believe to be alone with this problem

I will look into your issue next week and see if it's a bug. Can you PM me your whole Movie database?

 

[piranha]

Why don't you skip the manual entry by yourself?
Yesterday I had to recreate my video database and it worked out fine.
Empty your current DBs, go to video setup and perform a scan without entering anything.
It worked perfectly for me.

thanks for your input, now waiting for robytex's.

 

[robytex]

first of all: THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
then:

I've tried the manual entry to verify this bug, it seems to me the simpler method.
Obvoiusly I can't entry manually all my 560 movies!!
The best way for me will be to IMPORT my XMM database to MP but for the moment
I must solve this problem.

@ piranha: I can't perform a scan because my movies are stored on VIDEO-DVD or
in .avi format as files on DVD-R..
I've stored on HD only some of my personal video productions.

@ ronald+jimmy: Sure, I'll send you my DB imported from XMM with MyDVD and
the manualy entred one.

THANKS AGAIN

Robytex

please do only send me your current database, the one that you created at the time you wrote your first post (or at least a really small one that is used when you encounter such troubles).

Are you running the 0.2.1 version right now?

 

[robytex]

Yes, I installed the ultimate version yesterday with the hope that
my troubles were ended.......nope

I attached the database file here.
