The playlist isn't showing anything at all. It stays empty while there should be at least something showing. I use the ExternalControlPlugin2 for writing a webbased media controller for MP. The plugin returns the content of the playlist always correctly. At the same time the MP interface isn't showing anything in the playlist.

Apart from this bug I find the playlist functionality very frustrsting. It's nearly impossible to create a playlist. Adding a track makes that song start immediately, so the music playing at that moment gets interrupted. And pussing one wrong butten makes the existing playlist disappear. Maybe it would be an idea the implement a dialog that asks if you realy wish to clear the existing playlist?


Another thing.. (it might all be connected...i don't know).
I see the following error occure often in my mediaportal_error.log

8/30/2006 1:11:49 PM 703 [ERROR] render exception:System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Just like this one....

As I said. This might all be connected to eachother. That's why I post it all in one topic.

attach all logfiles to your post

With the latest SVN I can't run setup. I'll add the logfile in a minute.

1. I've installed the latest SVN (Rev10086)
2. cleared the mediaportal.log file
3. started Mediaportal
4. added songs to the playlist by selecting "Add to playlist" from the context menu of a directory containing multiple MP3 files.
5. went to the playlist screen to check if the items added showed up (not the case)
4. went back to my musicfiles and added a single file to the playlist from the contextmenu
5. checked the playlist again if a song was added (not the case)
6. closed MP

Hmm... hang on. It maybe my fault.

Can you see if this happens if you *do not* do any GetPlaylist calls from ECP2?

I think I forgot to copy the playlist first before sending it over, so I'm actually removing certain properties from the actual playlist.

There were no calls to the ECP2 plugin at all. I will test it with the ECP2 disabled, but I hd this problem also before I was using your updated ECP2 plugin.

May this be any similar error to my problem (https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/showthread.php?t=10837)?

Hi,
I know paloema's bug it's fixed, but is the original bug in this thread fixed?
Have tried to duplicate it but can't.
