[QUOTE="Andrew H, post: 865309, member: 56239"] I think I found what's causing this on my system -- I was simply opening the MP-TV-Series Config from the desktop icon **not even opening MP-Config** and looking at the TV-Series.log as I progressed through a "normal" importing of filenames. All was well and it seemed to crash when it was opening a certain .xml file that represented a tv show I'd recorded... what? Hmmm.... I deleted that series of shows from the database (using the 1st tab) and reran the import... this time it had 26 shows to import and in the log I noticed it was gathering metadata about each of these files to create a .xml for that file??? It's at that point the app crashed, gathering metadata from MediaInfo??? So I deleted that file from my HDD and reran the import - all was well, all 25 files processed successfully! I then began enabling (rechecking) the fanart, thumbnails, and background art import boxes and realized this was all caused by something "bad" in the file, or how MediaInfo was importing/reporting the data to TV-Series to use that was crashing MP-TV-Series whether it was running solo or inside the MP application as a plug-in -- the 30-second delay I have configured (to scan for new files inside MP) was also an indicator while I was troubleshooting. I hope you all can understand the coding specifics from my explanation because I recently added cableTV to my system and the files it was having issue with were analog-TV based... Not sure if this is going to be a recurring issue, or if the analog card is going to be problematic, but at least I have a handle on this as it was crashing my system - now I know to look for recent files, recent analog-TV based TV show files and the TV-Series.log if it crashes again! Sorry if my issue was way off topic, a totally separate issue than what you guys are following on this thread - it seemed the only one mentioning TV-Series crashing MP! Thanks :) [/QUOTE]
