No cover art or backdrops after migration (1 Viewer)

[kevinfreels]

I moved mediaportal and moving pictures to a new PC. My movies folder resides on a network share and has about 900 movies in it. I installed MP and moving pictures and then copied the database and thumbs folder over to the new PC. The database seems fine with all of the right information in it - just the cover art and backdrops are missing. I tried manually updating the cover art for one of the movies but it won't even let me do that. Instead I get an "unhandled exception error" stating that "Index (zero based) must be greater than or equal to zero and less than the size of the argument list".

This is a Vista machine.
I have been through this twice. First I did it with the most recent versions.
Then I used Media portal 1.1.0.0 and Moving Pictures 1.0.6 thinking that maybe the databases were somehow incompatible.
No joy on either. I really want to avoid having to rearrange, update, and fix all 900 of these movies.

Here are the details of the error message:

No one even has a guess on this one? I really can't make any sense of it. Is there a way to manually read and edit the information in the moving pictures database?

How do I change the path to thumbs in Moving Pictures

I have another thread about losing my cover art for moving pictures which after several days I don't see any responses.
I think I may have stumbled onto the problem but I'm still not quite sure how to fix it.
When I look at the moving pictures log file, I see this:

21-Jan-2011 20:03:49 Info [ MovingPicturesCore]: Plugin Launched
21-Jan-2011 20:03:49 Error [ MovingPicturesCore]: Error: System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path 'G:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\Thumbs\MovingPictures\Covers\FullSize'.

at System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(String path, DirectorySecurity directorySecurity)
at MediaPortal.Plugins.MovingPictures.MovingPicturesCore.initAdditionalSettings()
at MediaPortal.Plugins.MovingPictures.MovingPicturesCore.Initialize()


There is another error message later as follows:


21-Jan-2011 20:04:29 Error [ FileBasedResource]: Unexpected error downloading file from: http://cf1.themoviedb.org/posters/03d/4bd4f277017a3c2e7d00003d/thir13en-ghosts-original.jpg System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path 'G:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\Thumbs\MovingPictures\Covers\FullSize\{Thir13en.Ghosts} [1036078664].jpg'.

at MediaPortal.Plugins.MovingPictures.LocalMediaManagement.MovieResources.FileBasedResource.Download(String url, Int64 startPosition, Int32 timeout)


Both of these are referencing drive (G

On the old machine, drive (G was my system drive due to several partitions and various multi-boot systems I had on the box over a period of several years. The new machine is a dedicated machine (dual boot) and this system is installed on drive (D

All of my config settings reference either the system drive, relative paths, or in the case of the movies themselves, network drive (M. I can't find anything that points to (G Still so I'm assuming that it must lie within the moving pictures database itself?

Does anyone know how I can update this to correctly point moving pictures to the (D drive for the thumbs folder?
I believe this will solve the problem. If so, I'll post a full explanation and solution for anyone else who runs into this problem in the future.

Thanks!

Re: How do I change the path to thumbs in Moving Pictures

Hi

Open MovingPictures configuration
Go to advanced settings from the About menu IIRC.

By the way, I am merging your threads. No need to have two

 

[kevinfreels]

Awesome! This is so totally worth a donation. This has been KILLING ME! Looks like it's fixed the error problem!

Now do you know how I can get it to actually reload them all without having to manually go back and click to refresh the cover art for each title? That works but I'd rather not do it 900 times.
And where do I donate??

 

[rekenaar]

Donate to MovingPictures
Donate to MediaPortal

Sorry, not sure about the answer to your other question. Hopefully someone else can help

If you've entered the correct path in Advanced Settings (like rekenaar suggested) then all fanart should be there. Any missing fanart should be automatically downloaded again.
