I just totally uninstalled MP and deleted the whole directory. I then installed RC1 and applied the mediaportal-cvs-11-14-2005--14-05.rar CVS. After setting up the basics I went to scan my movies under movie database. When I scan I get this error. The first time I did it, the error came up right away. The second time, it was about half way through.

I am running .net 2.0

Anyone else seeing this error?

yea, had to update videos 1 by 1 manually from within MP. That's the way it goes sometimes using release candidate cvs.

I have the same issue

Area: Media Portal Configuration
MP Version: mediaportal-cvs-11-19-2005--23-02 (have tryed a few others, same result)

Video Card: Ati Radeon 9200

Audio Codec Type & Version: ffdshow audio decoder
TV Card: Hauppauge PVR USB-2, FireDTV-C
TV Card Type: Hardware, DVB
TV Card Driver: Latest, latest

Exact same error, except for that version number

Failed to locate assembly 'Core.XmlSerializers, Version=1.0.2149.41426,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'.
Note that the configuration program must be executed from/reside in the MediaPortal folder, the execution will now end

The setup then dissapears, but when looking in Task Manager, it's still running under Processes.

It happens when the scanner finds a new movie and starts downloading the information, after i have chosen from the search results which movie it is.
It will still download the info and add it to the database, guess because it's still running when looking under Processes.
I then have to kill Configuration.exe and start the setup again for each new movie.
If i click cancel in the search results, it won't crash, just continue scanning for new movies as it should, until i choose a movie from the search result.

Adding a new movie from within MediaPortal works fine.

Nothing noticeable in the logs

Failed to locate assembly Core.XmlSerializer

I have the same issue. I get the error message when I click on Coverart tab under Movies\Movie Database\Editor in Media Portal Setup. Does this work for anyone?

 

[chili]

hmm, still happening in RC2.

The problem is occuring in MoveDatabase.cs when the AmazonImageSearch object's search function is called. I got rid of this issue by disabling this function. To do this, comment out the line "search.Search(CurrentMovie.Title);" in MoveDatabase.cs within the tabControl2_SelectedIndexChanged function. Re-build your project and copy configuration.exe in your Media Portal application folder.

I have downloaded the newest source codes (on Dec 31 2005) and recompiled it. This seems to have fixed the issue.

How does the average user who doesn't compile CVS builds get hold of this fixed version? Any place to download? The official download seems to not have changed since Dec 16 ?

 

[ASiDiE]

It's on the front page to the right. There is a link that says "Daily CVS builds" Once that page comes up you should have "CVS-Download" on the right. Once you click on that, it will give you all the information you need to upgrade to the latest CVS.

You can download CVS builds from here. Make sure that you read the English instructions carefully!
