[Plugin][Alpha] MP Photo Slideshow (2 Viewers)

[sccrgoalie1]

This stopped working for me in 1.6. I don't know why. When the plugin loads I just see the Titan wallpaper and nothing else. I tried uninstall/reinstall of the plugin but that didn't fix it. Please help me troubleshoot.

Check the log at c:\programdata\mpphotoslideshow

Same here. All of a sudden only the Titan background is shown.

Looks the same here, too.

They must have changed something. I'll have to see if I can find time to take a look.

From MediaPortal-Error.log I see a number of these:

Could this be a clue? If you would like a complete log dump let me know.

Thanks,

The strange thing is: I can't remember that I've changed anything. And the plugin is working fine with the same settings and same pictures on my other client running also MP1.6.

Try just renaming or deleting the log file.

 

[mrceolla]

I'll be damned. That worked. What do you think happened to cause this issue?

It appears I have a bug in my logging algorithm when the file grows to large

 

[mrceolla]

Ok, cool. I'm glad you found the problem and look forward to a fix as I've grown to like your plugin.

I do have one feature request, if I may tell you. It would be great if there were a checkbox to enable/disable the text labels for all pictures. I have gone through and made all of the pictures text color #000000 so that they don't appear against the black background, but sometimes they still overlay other pictures bordres.

Thanks for your work!
