Moving Pictures Public Beta 0.5.5c (1 Viewer)

[RadyR]

RadyR: I get the exact same behaviour sometimes. Both with Moving Pictures and MP TV-Series. If you check the latters forum section, you'll see that we're not alone. Since this has happend with both plugins (new media, missing media crashes) I thought it had to do with me using MP SVN builds. I'll post my logs here next time it happens for Moving Pictures.

Thanks for your answer.
I'm using MP 1.0RC2, Moving Pictures 0.5.5b, TVSeries 2.0.765.
TVSeries removes the deleted episode from the database without errors.
The exception only occurs with Moving Pictures and I can reproduce it constantly.
1.: Scan a watched folder.
2.: Shutdown MP, and delete one movie which is in the Moving Pictures database.
3.: Start MP -> Exception.
(4.: Start MP again, and it's working again without any errors. The deleted movie is removed from the database.)

Sometimes while browsing in list mode (possibly all modes) MP randomly hangs without crashing. I can shut down without the watchdog calling it a crash. If I try to go to Basic Home when this happens, MP remains in Moving Pictures view, and if I then shut down MP, MP starts up in Basic Home next time (I've set MP to remember last used module).

Also, Moving Pictures doesn't collect movie running times every time I add new movies.

I will take a look, I think i see the error. Sorry for the trouble guys, crashing bugs are always my least favorite to have reported. If anyone else sees this happen, could you please post it over on the issue tracker?

Well, i think i'm just saying what you already know, but it fixes the problem if i add this clause (movieBrowser != null) to the if command in line 416 in MediaPortal.Plugins.MovingPictures.MovingPicturesGUI.
Don't really know what that piece of code does (maybe it updates the selected movie, if the movie that was removed from the browser was selected before).

A bit technical, but basically when a movie is removed from the database by the DatabaseManager, it informs anyone who has subscribed to it about the change. On launch the GUI screen subscribes to the DatabaseManager for updates on removed movies. The purpose of this is to remove the movie from the screen when it is no longer in the database. Currently though the GUI does not check if the facade (movieBrowser) has or has not been initialized yet. So when the GUI blindly tries to remove the movie from the facade, it fails if the facade has not been created yet. Sorry about this guys I will get an update as soon as possible.

What version is this for? I quickly scanned the thread & the webpage, but didn't see anything. I tried 1.0 RC2 but reverted back to 0.2.3.0 due to problems with subs & some videos not playing.

Hey there, I am running both 0.2.3.0 and RC2 (different systems) but have no problem playing any movie with or without subs.
Not really specific for any version of Mediaportal though.

Anymore info what you did?

After some playing around with RC2, I could play all the videos, but if I tried to get subs working, some .mkv's & .ts's wouldn't play. I could disable the subs, but some movies, like The DaVinci Code, require them. It probably has to do with my system requiring HW acceleration for HD videos.

0.2.3.0 works fine, except for grabbing the imdb info. Most movies don't get a plot, though that could be because of the way I name them, like The DaVinci Code.avi, instead of The DaVinci Code (2006).avi.

Are you sure you have the correct codec installed? If not, download this guide, works great

Some titles doesn't get the runtime.

When browsing the movie list, I noticed that "Inland Empire" had zero runtime. I tried to update the info but it does not work. I first thought it was because the new scraper (Movie-XML did get the runtime if it was entered), but "Kurenai no buta" that I added today did get the runtime correctly added to the db.
