Unable to load SubtitleDownloader library! (1 Viewer)

[gby132]

Hi guys,

I've been using SubCentral plugin with Moving Pictures for a while and it worked just fine. However I am now faced with this error whenever I try to select the subtitles option of a movie within Mediaportal.
The error says:

Unable to load SubtitleDownloader library!
Is SubtitleDownloader.dll available?

This error also pops up when I try to access the config of the SubCentral plugin from Mediaportal Config.
I've confirmed that SubtitleDownloader.dll is indeed in the Mediaportal folder (the root mediaportal folder where the exe exists). I've also tried reinstalling Subcentral and SubtitleDownloader to no avail. I've also updated all my plugins in case that was the problem and it is still not working.

Please help
attached is the SubCentral log with the error..
Thanks guys

I got the exact same problem since yesterday. The only thing I've changed to my system (to my knowledge) is that I've installed the MediaBrowser server application and MePo plugin for it but SubCentral was working afterwards. I also installed all of the Windows7 security patches that appeared yesterday if they are somehow part of the problem?

I tried re-installing both SubTitle extensions but get the same error, also trying to launch the settings for SubCentral in MePo Configuration fails with the same error.

I'm at work now, so I can't try this myself, but would removing the SubCentral config files then re-installing the plugin work better, as the log files attached to this thread so far suggests that the plugin is looking for some random .dll file instead of the SubTitleDownloader library .dll?

Can you try running MediaPortal / MP Configuration as an Administrator ?

I think this is somehow security related.

Didn't seem to do it for me, but I had little time to try. I'll try more after grocery shopping is over.

I've tried:

1. Removing all traces of the plugin (config files, log files, not the dlls), then uninstalling it from the Extension manager
2. Re-installing it from the Extension manager
3. Opening Configuration (tried both as an administrator and not) and opening SubCentral's configuration (I then get the "Unable to find the library" message the
first try, then on the second it worked, wtf?)
4. Uninstalling Media Browser server (I really hope this isn't the culprit though) now.

Running MePo and trying to access the plugin just doesn't work right now and I'm at my wits end. My User Account Control is already at the lowest setting, so I can't do anything about that. It's just so damn weird that the plugin is trying to open weird, non-existend DLL files in the temp folder (according to the logs, is this really something this plugin does do normally?)

Snippet from log file:

@seco Where are the location(s) where the dll file is supposed to be? Installing it only puts it in the MediaPortal program root folder, am I right?

I will PM you a version with a workaround fix. Still I would be really interested what is causing this somehow random issue.

I understand why this TEMP DLL is created and it is totally normal so no need to worry about it, everything related to that is C# core code so nothing I can do about it. Weird thing is that for some reason it is now sometimes missing.

I also have this exact problem since yesterday. Have tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times. Tried also installing older version, but didn't help. Maybe this has something to do with recent Win7 updates.

 

[seco]

Yeah, I'll try to release version 3.0.10 ASAP which fixes the problem.

EDIT: Version 3.0.10 is now available in MP Plugin Repository
