[Plugin] MPSync - MediaPortal multi-seat Synchronization (3 Viewers)

doskabouter · September 30, 2015

I have a bit of an issue with the latest version.
It doesn't seem to be synching the thumbs folder on my client. When I checked the debug logs, I see that mpsync (started manually as standalone app) it keeps repeating waiting for background threads to finish... 1 threads remaining processing {movingpictures.db3} indefenitely.

Configuration here is quite simple, just sync the movingpictures database and the thumbs folder from my server to the client

Attached are mpsync.xml and log file.

Would appreciate any help!

P.S. the trigger for diving into this is that mediaportal was extremely slow just after startup, as moving pictures was removing references to non-existant thumbs out of the database

@doskabouter. It seems that the movingpictures database is somehow corrupted. Can you delete from the destination folder. Also in order for the plugin to copy the database afresh, if the date in tag "last sync", in MPSync.xml, is equal to today, change to yesterday so that it will do an integrity check. This should copy a new instance of the corrupted database.

Also, I suggest you try this by launching the plugin from outside MediaPortal so you follow exactly the actions being performed.

Removing all but the master copy of the database and letting mpsync do it's job solved the problem, thanks!

One small thing though, I did wait a long time when syncing the client, but the dialog that it was ready never came. When syncing master to central storage did show the "ready" dialog" (I let the client-sync run for more than 3 times the time it took to sync master to central storage)

Hello, I am having an error when I start mpsync to configure my paths, here is the details, can anyone help?

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

@nightwar. Is this the first time doing this setup?

nightwar · November 8, 2015

No, it was working, I have a FreeBSD server with zfs, and one of the drives failed.. I replaced the drive and that part is fine, and then I tried to setup the mpsync from scratch as I upgraded the media portal software while I was at it

Could you have a look into MPSync.xml found in C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal of your master HTPC. Open it with Notepad and check that the server and path quoted in the tag exists:

Code:

<section name="DB Path">
  <entry name="client">C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\Database</entry>
  <entry name="server">\SERVER\MediaPortal\Database</entry>
  <entry name="direction">1</entry>
  <entry name="method">0</entry>
</section>

If this solves your problem, I'll see what fix is needed in the plugin.

I have several client machines and one server for MediaPortal and have been sharing the configuration and databases for all the clients on the server machine using MediaPortalDirs.xml to point to the server's shared folders. Doing this, when two clients are running at the same time, one of the clients is very slow when navigating from video folder to video folder. I understand that this is because the database files are single user.

Does MPSync get round this locking problem? If I use MPSync, do I set the data setting in MediaPortalDirs.xml on each client to the local database and the same setting on the server to the shared database folder?

Thank you, in advance.

Hello

Once I've installed MPSync and configured it, there doesn't seem to be a way to set the Autostart option.

On one client I setup autostart but MPSync doesn't load at startup after rebooting the machine.

All are running under Windows 10. Has anyone else experienced this?

Basically, I can't seem to get MP Sync to run once configured and a reboot.

Any help would be most welcome.

I believe plugin should load with the start of MediaPortal.... since every legal plugin is loaded when MediaPortal is started..
Are you sure it doesn't start? No entry in the log?
