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

[roedler86]

Hey guys,

I really love this plugin. I just set it up and its working very well...

I can't figure out I point:
I set up to sync a folder including all sub folder... but here, only the files from the sub folder are copied not the file from the actually folder...

What am I missing?

Thanks in advanced....

@roedler86. You need to select the parent folder, in your case MediaPortal. Then select specific folders and only select scripts. This should work.

I will have a look into the plugin to see whether with your current setup, you can obtain same result as explained above.

Thanks a lot. That's working. And I need only one folder-synchronization for all my sub folder. Thanks.

But I recognized another strange behavior:
After starting MediaPortal I can't do anything for a couple of minutes, until the sync job is done. The system doesn't freeze but the CPU is at 100%. Because of this sometime the movie player or records, which are recorded while starting MediaPortal, hang.

Is there any possibility to reduce the CPU load?

Thanks again!

@roedler86. You can select the check-box "Pause when player active". It will pause the synchronisation whilst you are watching a movie or playing music. Sometimes it still needs a minute or two to pause, but it works

I need help with this, It is a new moving pictures data base, and syncing to an empty network path, so its a clean slate, the log file is attached

@nightwar. Can you open file MPSync.xml found in C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal and change the date in the following line to a date in the past.

<entry name="last sync">2017-04-25 19:29:55</entry>

In the above example set the last sync date to 2017-04-24. Then start the sync process again. If you sync manually, you cal launch the MPSync_Launcher.exe or else if you sync from within MediaPortal, restart MediaPortal.

Hi since some time I'm having trouble (again) in retaining the watched status for moving pictures, is there anything that I could check at my end?
My setup is as follows:
main pc is set up to sync from main pc to main server
htpc is set up to sync from main server to htpc (using triggers, watched="no")
If I watch a movie on htpc, after a while (after syncing with server) the watched status is reset again.
checking the log I see this:

[/CODE[

so somehow it does synchronize the user_movie_settings despite the watched="no"

@doskabouter. Apologies for not replying before but was quite tied with other work.

The plugin will still synchronise the episode/movie seen value through the table sync. and not the watched status function. The watched status function is there to provide possibility to go on another client and continue playing from the same position you stopped on the previous client. Also keep in mind that the episode/movie seen value is also synchronised by the Trakt plugin.

Thanks for your time!
So do I understand it correctly that it's not possible to keep the watched status?
Mind you, I don't use trakt for this

@doskabouter. A change can be implemented to split current flag into 2, namely resume sync and status sync. Resume sync will do what the flag is doing today, whilst the new status sync will handle your request.

What do you think?
