Plugin: MP2Extended (1 Viewer)

[pünktchen]

@pünktchen
what exactly is your software? Maybe I can install it myself also in a VM [emoji14] This would reduce some work for both of us^^ Unfortunately johan hasn't that option [emoji23] Sorry

Emby - former MediaBrowser 3.
But i haven't updated the MediaPortal plugin yet. (startTime instead of starttime...)

I'm an admin on my PC but it failed anyway

Yes, there is a difference:

even if the user can be admin, the UAC prevents processes from doing elevated stuff (like impersonation). This works if processes are started with "run as admin" and you confirm the UAC prompt.

You should be able to achieve this by running Visual Studio itself "as admin" (I used this to debug TVServer long time before)

Ahh yes, I remember I had to do that to debug a project long ago.

I just had time for a quick test yesterday. Uninstalled and reinstalled. Removed and readded Recordings and series shares. Started a reimport. When I got back after a couple of hours the MP2 client had crached. Restarting server and the MPiV initialization to series and recordings failed. I can post logs later if that is needed? It seems from conversation above that Henso is aware of the issue and its no use to test before its fixed?

If running the MP2 service as admin user. What credentials should that be, admin on server with shares or laptop with MP2 server? Server with media shares has different password than the admin user on laptop.

Logs are very very helpful. So it would be great if you could upload the logs

No you shouldn't do something different. Just install and use it like you did before. The conversation above was about attaching VisualStudio to the MP2 Server and get impersonation to work. Impersonation only works if you are an admin (or System as far as I know a Service runs under the system user, so everything is fine)

In short: To impersonate while the debugger is attached VisualStudio must be started as an admin.

@pünktchen
Could you provide the latest build/binaries

It should autoupdate the next time you start Emby.

Hi everyone and sorry for the late answer, I'm currently travelling.
Morph, there is no such logic as you describe. We always 'impersonate' - no matter whether we are running as service, admin or regular user. The reason is that we don't really 'impersonate'. The local thread identity is not changed. The credentials are only used to access remote resources. Reason for using this way is (a) it also works if the credentials do not exist on the local machine but only on the remote one and (b) this requires the lowest privileges locally, as the local identity doesn't change.
Reason for not checking whether service, admin or regular user is that the whole thing just requires two windows privileges - and these can be assigned to all kinds of users.
I remember that I did a very deep analysis about these privileges and wrote it down here in the forum. I also remember that someone mentioned this should go to the wiki, but as usual, there was no time for that...
I'll post here as soon as I found my analysis...
Michael

@johanj
I couldn't reproduce your issues :/
It looks like hensos modifications re working correctly.

In one of the older builds (installed in a VM) I get:

So I really don't know where your exceptions are coming from.
I imported around 480 recordings and only got two exceptions:

[2015-10-31 11:18:15,244] [711454 ] [67 ] [INFO ] - TranscodeMetadataExtractor: Exception reading resource '{03dd2da6-4da8-4d3e-9e55-80e3165729a3}:////MEDIA-PC/MediaPortal/Recordings/Galileo - ProSieben - 2012-04-11.ts' (Text: 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object.')

So we really need the log files. For the future: please always upload the log files if something happens

Edit: I should mention that I used credentials to log on my MediaPc to access the recordings and the MP2 Server run as a Service.
