Hi,
I’ve been struggling with MP 2 now for several weeks.
Initially all was fine. Then in the client, the listings of recorded TV programs suddenly wouldn’t update itself. In the top right hand corner above the display of time and date, the % imported is perpetually stuck on the same figure (see attachment). It seems to me that the part of the database that tracks the recordings can’t keep itself in synch with the recordings on file. This is despite the server part of MP2 still faithfully recording the programs as scheduled: it’s just the client won’t display them.
Based on a hint in these fora, I used "DBBrowser for SQLite" to confirm that C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MP2-Server\Database\Datastore.s3db did NOT have any rows in the table "M_RECORDINGITEM", with a [STARTTIME] later than what is displayed in the client. This is even though there’s plenty of TV recordings after then that DO exist on the hard drive.
Could this be because I manually deleted some old recordings through Windows/File Explorer/My Computer rather than through the client software?
I couldn’t figure out how to fix the situation, so I un-installed and then re-installed MP2. Everything was working again for a while.
Now it the exact same issue has happened again! Could it be because I played a recorded TV program through VLC rather than the client?
This is all happening on brand new hardware with Win10 in a single seat installation, i.e., client and server on same machine. I can supply MP2 logs and the PC’s system info if necessary.
Can anyone explain how to resolve this issue? Having to uninstall/re-install is a ridiculous workaround and if that’s the only way, I’ll be looking for some other player software instead of the MP2 client!
