Slideshows freeze (1 Viewer)

[RICHARDG]

Hi ther eI keep running into this weird problem with slideshows.
I am running windows XP and Mediaportal RC4.
This has also happened in RC3.
The image freezes and mediaportal sits there.
If I have music in the backgroupd it seems to keep playing with no problem.
Sometimes it clears and starts moving but in general I have to kill the session and restart it.

This is what the log has to say

Seems there is a problem with the database. But I don't speak SQL so I have no clue.
Logs are attached

Hi there

I do not know the cause of your problems.
If it was me, I would try one of the following:
1. Delete picture db and try again.
2. Upgrade MP to 1.0.2 or even 1.1.0beta1+SVN and see if it helps.

Our devs would most probably want full logs and full system specs before they will look into it. See my signature for detail.

 

[rekenaar]

one more question: are you using same database from more than one MP client?

 

[RICHARDG]

Using the database and copying it to other MP devices.
Does that make a difference. IF so I will stop right away.

What I mean by that is that I have the same version on all three of my htpc's and I replicate the db's to them

 

[rekenaar]

The file locations must be exactly the same on all htpc's to even try it.
In other words, if main htpc has d:\photos, then other htpc must also have d:\photos with same content.
Best would be read the article on centralized database and see if it helps.

 

[RICHARDG]

I use a log on script to map drives in the same fashion on all HTPC's

But perhaps the shared DB option is the way to go

 

[RICHARDG]

thought about it.

Shared makes no sense if I Map all drives on all devices with the same script.
this makes sure all the directories are int eh same place.
Then sharing a DB makes no sense and should not contribute to a crash. So I am wondering then why does it break and freeze.
