Getting a JSON Error for illegal character in path for Moving Pictures loading. The log doesn't indicate what it is trying to load and based on the sort order being used I looked at what I think is the Movie it should be loading when the exception is thrown. The issue is that I cannot find anything out of the ordinary with the movie file or backdrop path that could be causing the issue.

Is there any way to get more information in the logs to indicate what is being loaded when the exception occurs?

Here is the error...

Is there any way to get more information in the logs to indicate what is being loaded when the exception occurs?

Well, that info is already available from the logs; you just need to find it in the stack trace (and maybe match the stack trace with the code).

What's happening here is that there is a backdrop with an invalid character in your Moving Pictures database, which makes MPExtended choke. Can't say which movie it is without your database though.

(note that the error is happening in GetMovieCount, not while loading an individual movie).

I should have just went to SQL Lite right away and looked. The issue was with a "|" character I had accidentally added to a path statement when I meant to use "\" for a manually added backdrop. The Moving Pictures configuration tool silently skipped that movie and since I have about 1800 movies I didn't even notice.

After editing the row in SQL Lite everything is working fine.
