MPControlPlugin exception with IRServer RC1 (1 Viewer)

[hamp]

Hi,
I've the latest RC1 svn build for Mediaportal and installed RC1 of IRServer but I can't open MPControlPlugin configuration. I always get an exception:

2008-05-13 21:54:23.845149 [ERROR][MPMain]: Unable to start plugin:MediaPortal.Plugins.MPControlPlugin exceptionystem.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

at MediaPortal.Plugins.InputHandler..ctor(String deviceXmlName)
at MediaPortal.Plugins.MPControlPlugin.LoadDefaultMapping()
at MediaPortal.Plugins.MPControlPlugin.Start()
at MediaPortal.GUI.Library.PluginManager.Start()

Any suggestions?

Did you apply the updates for RC1. If so, make sure you dropped the files in the right places. I have found that if you put the updates in the wrong places (particularly the mpcontrolplugin.xml file) this problem can result.

I had put the xml file in the wrong place

Thanks!

Ouch when I removed MPControlPlugin.XML from InputDeviceMappings\Defaults I can open the plugin configurator but when I press "Map buttons" I get "Can't locate MPControlPlugin.XML Make sure it exists in InputDeviceMappings\Defaults". If I put the xml-file back I also get the error back...

OK, you'll need to uninstall and re-install IR Server to get the original xml file that goes in that directory, unless you have a backup copy somewhere. The updated one just won't work in that directory. Not sure why.
