MUSIC section will not open (1 Viewer)

[GDkitty]

Hey folks. New Media-portal user, so bear with me, if this is an EASY fix, that I missed.

First off.. LOVING Media portal. Already have 1.3 installed, with titan, have my movies /w database already set up and working... MPTV series set up, and databasing the TV series... even have the MyANime3 plugin working.

Now.. came to trying to setup the music.
Setup, is as per below

Music IS in the database it appears (not sure about album art, etc..) but when you try to update from the share, scans all, and says no new after going through 1700 or so.. so should be all in the database)

Now.. the problem...

Initially, when I clicked on the MUSIC button, in the TITAN theme.. it would start to fade out like it was transitioning.. then NOTHING, came right back to the menu.

Found the MUSIC under plugins, was DISABLED. So I enabled that.
It now... goes INTO that section... it completely locks up MP.

I have also tried it, under the regular theme.. same thing, completely locks up MP.



Anyone have any ideas??

Please check the "plugins" section and take a look at the "music" plugin. Is it enabled? if not....enable it and it should work

EDIT: sorry...hadnt read the whole posting
Have you made an manual scan for your Music folders inside the configuration? Click "update database from selected shares"

Yes, the initial not opening period, I solved by enabling the plug

Yes, I had already did the manual scan. Just ran it again, just incase.
0 added / 4575 skipped. initial time I ran it, I am pretty sure is said that it added them... so its now skipping them, since they are in there.[DOUBLEPOST=1363706305][/DOUBLEPOST]Im going to try, a full 'overwrite' of the database.. just incase something is corrupt.

It just sucks, there is no DATABASE VIWER, like there is for the videos, TV addons, etc.

It updated/added a good portion of them.. still locks up completely though.

Going to head to lunch shortly, will leave it running, and see if it maybe is just trying to cache things and needs time, etc.

Not sure WHAT these errors mean.. but I am guessing its the CAUSE?

Hi.
Could you please upload complete logs?

Here are the complete logs.
hopefully has everything.
Have to hard kill MP via task manager, but it did finish the log file afterwards.

When in the music section of MP Client, does MP Crash is that why you had to kill it.
What happens when you change to 'shares view' instead of 'database' view (Go into music, access the side menu and choose view)

 

[GDkitty]

Success, I think!
Well, when I went INTO that section to begin with, I want able to bring up ANY menu at all, it would hard lock before you could select anything.

I went into the config, and changed the view on it in there for that share.. I think it was on icon.. to list. Then It let me into the music section!
Everything seems to be there.. just need to play with the settings, to get it to display album art properly.. and will have to test if I can change the list/etc views without it locking again.

 

[kiwijunglist]

'Shares view' does not use the music database, it is essentially a file viewer. You will not get fancy fanart, artist images, and album art in 'share view', you need to be in 'database view' for that to happen.

I suggest delete your music database and rescan
Start -> All Progs -> Team MP -> MP -> User Files

 

[GDkitty]

Well, the other views, appear to be working.. like it needed to get past SOME form of bad data in share view first.

But seeing how bad my wife has messed up the music folder >.<.

Most of the stuff she has ripped, has put all folders by artist, then album, and the database is picking it up, all as separate albums (with the same name, etc).

I am going to do some MAJOR cleaning on the folders/files... and then likely do a database wipe for the music and let it rebuild then again.

Thank you all for your help though
I am LOVING MP!
