Hi,

the OFDB lookup is broken since some days. Possible due to a change on their website.

I found a solution. The attachment contains a new Databases.dll for MP version 0.2.2.0. I will also upload the changed *.cs files to sourceforge. Its more a hack than a solution, but it works.

Hi,

some more information. MP runs into an endless loop ot the cast lookup of OFDB. The fix provides a better break condition for this loop. Added the C# fix on SourceForge:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1634599&group_id=107397&atid=647927


Now its a much better fix than the one of yesterday.
Added a new Databases.dll for MP 0.2.2.0.

Have fun,
Flip.

Thank you FlipGer!

There can still happen threading bugs when GUI controls are accessed from the lookup thread or while another dialog (not rendered by the main thread) like the progressdialog is on top. Do you know who introduced those progress dialogs there?

Hi rtv,

no sorry dunno. I only know, that the lookup code is very old (somewhat about 2 years). The progress dialogs were there from the beginning as far as I remember.

Thanks for the fast accepting!
