sometimes the last few episodes are missing from the menu (1 Viewer)

[Statick]

sometimes after watching an episode, when it finishes and i return to the episode list, the last few episodes are missing. it's always some from the end, like for example i'm watching a series with 13 episodes in this season, and i've just returned to the menu to only see 10 episodes, being eps 1-10. eps 11-13 are not there. it's never episodes from the middle of the season, always ones from the end. if i menu back to the season list, then return to the episode list for this season, the missing episodes will reappear again.

also, often when returning to this menu after an episode has finished, it will return with episode 1 selected rather than the next unwatched one as it normally should be, even though there are still unwatched episodes.

as far as i can tell, both of these things actually happen at the same time - as in, after watching an episode, i'll be returned to the episode list with for some reaosn ep 1 selected, and when i scroll down the last few episodes will be missing. i could be mistaken, it's possible they do happen on separate occasions, but as best as i can tell it does seem to be happening together. they both certainly happen very frequently.

both of these problems started happening at the same time, a few updates ago. i'm currently using the latest version 2.6.6 on MP 1.1.2, which was updated only a few days ago from 1.1.0 and this problem has been happening for a lot longer than that. also i used to use the blue3wide skin, i'm now using streamedMP as of about a week ago, and it's still happening. so i don't think it's a skin problem.

Can you at least recreate the problem with debug-logging enabled and supply the MediaPortal.log and MP-TVSeries.log files?

 

[Statick]

i can certainly try that, yes. i'll leave logging on until it happens again.

I have seen this happen on 2 of my Mediaportal HTPCs intermittantly, where you can only scroll those episodes on 1 page even tho there may be 2 or more pages

its always after a episode as finished playback and its returned automatically to the Tv Series Plugin

pressing back, then going back into the season and its back to normal

i asked ltfearme about it a while ago he said it sounded more of a MP issue than a TVSeries Issue,

i have logs and a screen capture (from VNC)
in this instance, i am encoding these episodes from DVD and only 6 episodes have been encoded so far. the episode count in the corner correctly says "6" however only 4 episodes are shown. this was, as also mentioned above, after watching an episode and returning to this menu.

also, this demonstrates how it's not related to how many pages of episodes there are - i've never seen the issue where i can only scroll over page 1, if i have 3 pages of episodes with the last 2 missing, i can still scroll through all 3 pages. in this case, i only have 1 page, and still episodes are missing.

i had the same issue again last night, there were 9 episodes in the list, played one, finished one, on return, only 2 were showing, but the episode count was still 9.

I wonder if the following error is the root cause to a problem and one of the symptoms is that the all episodes are not added to the list.:

Exception   :System.InvalidOperationException: Collection was modified; enumeration operation may not execute.
   at System.ThrowHelper.ThrowInvalidOperationException(ExceptionResource resource)
   at WindowPlugins.GUITVSeries.ImageAllocator.Flush(List`1 toFlush)
   at WindowPlugins.GUITVSeries.ImageAllocator.FlushAll()
   at WindowPlugins.GUITVSeries.TVSeriesPlugin.OnAction(Action action)
   at MediaPortal.GUI.Library.GUIWindowManager.OnAction(Action action)
   at MediaPortalApp.OnAction(Action action)

Will taker a closer look after xmas break.
