TV-Series makes MePo-Config crash: SubtitleDownloader (1 Viewer)

[Douwedijkstr]

Since a couple of weeks I haven't been able to enter 'My Tv-Series' in Mediaportal, as MePo-Config crashes and gives me a window saying 'unhandled exception has occurred in your application...'. The cause of this crash comes from the Subtitle-Downloader it seems, as I find this under details:

************** Exception Text **************
System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'SubtitleDownloader.Core.SubtitleDownloaderFactory' threw an exception. ---> System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.InvalidOperationException: Unable to generate a temporary class (result=1).
error CS0006: Metadata file 'C:\WINDOWS\assembly\GAC_MSIL\System\2.0.0.0__b77a5c561934e089\System.dll' could not be found

I've installed My TV-series for a couple of times now and with every install it's the same window. In fact, I now have a completely clean install of Mediaportal and completely deleted everything from My TV-series and when I install it, it's the same problem again.
I have even installed My TV-series using the .zip-file and deleted the subtitle downloader-DLL. Even that didn't work.

I'm out of ideas; does anyone know what's going on here and how I should fix this? Or do you need more log-information or anything?

Or do you need more log-information or anything?

Less log-information is only needed when you plan to fix the problem yourself. The MP-TVSeries plugin and MediaPortal program do not make large log files for nothing, which become useful to diagnose a problem when you place them in 'debug' mode.

But from the limited amount of info provided, you might want to look at your .NET framework installation, install .NET 3.5 and/or 4.0 with all the latest security patches and updates that have been released.

OK,

I installed .NET Framework 4.0, hoping that would solve anything, but unfortunately it didn't. I have made a log about what TV-Series does on MP-startup (using MePo Watchdog), but there everything seems fine. Is there anything else that I can do to provide you with more information? I'm really getting lost here.

fyi, you can't delete subtitle downloader as its a mandatory component currently.

OK,

I installed .NET Framework 4.0, hoping that would solve anything,

make sure all versions are installed and updated, v2 and v3 of .NET. having 4 doesnt replace the the lower versions you have them all simultaniously.

sometimes after installing you have to revisit windows update for it to show additional updates to those once installed/rebooted


Really you should try and make sure you have all the windows updates installed you will have less problems in general.

Thanks very much you guys, .NET indeed was the culprit! I uninstalled my complete .net configuration (using a nifty 'dotnetfx cleanup tool' by the way), installed everything from 3.5 SP1 up and now I finally have 'My TV-series' back. Thanks again!
