[Updated 14 Jul!] MPExtended Service 0.5.4 (1 Viewer)

[ixdvc]

I just installed 0.5 and after completely uninstalling the old versions and deleting the folders nearly everything worked so far. But I have to questions:

I have a multi-seat setup with WebMP running on the tv server. Is there a way to display channel logos in the EPG. I tried copying the ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\thumbs\tv\ folder from another system to my server (which has only the tv server, so I created the MediaPortal folder in ProgramData) but this did not work.

Then I have a problem with listening to music in WebMP. The database is displayed fine with covers and everything, but jwplayer shows error #2032. The music files are on the tv server and I have entered its windows username and password in MPExtended configuration on the HTPC. But a click on "Test" gives the message "Sorry, the network credentials you entered are invalid".

@Oxan here are the logs, i dont think that you will find something cause the mouseclick on the stop service button had absolute no reaction.
Anyway i pressed the button several time, than i made directly the logs

Which Windows version are you using?

You can find the list of directories where MPExtended looks for a logos here.

Is the account you entered also a valid account on the PC where MPExtended is installed? That's required at the moment.

Yes I have seen that setting but the dropdown list is empty for me, and in MPExtended configuration I can see no option for myfilms. Can you tell me the steps...and what database it should point towards?

Interesting. There shouldn't be any other configuration needed. Can you upload your MPExtended logs?

Here's the logfiles. I was also trying to use mvcentral in my music dropdown. It rendered the attached error in web interface when chosing "Music". When using the normal music database it work just fine.

Thanks in advance / U

Looks like there is some incompatibility between your MyFilms configuration and MPExtended. Can you upload your MyFilms.xml file too (it's in C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal), if you want?

The mvCentral error in WebMP is because you don't have artists in your mvCentral database - that isn't supported by WebMP yet.

It works now. I forgot to put my copied folder inside Team Mediaportal.

Is the account you entered also a valid account on the PC where MPExtended is installed? That's required at the moment.

The password is the same but the username is different. So it should not be possible on my system unless I change the account.

According to the status messaage during startup of mvCentral plugin there should be well over 700 artists in the database, sending you a screenshot. Hope I did not misunderstand you there. .
Also attaching a MyFilms configuration file. As I understand no configuration is necessary in MPExtended Configuratior to my MyFilms working?
What dropdownlist should contain MyFilm setting (Sent you a screenshot from my settings page)

Thank again for your time!

Win XP with Remotesoftware (Teamviewer) .. maybe the Remotesoftware is the reason?

Thanks, looks like it are bugs in MPExtended (your configuration is correct). I'll try to fix it in 0.5.2.

Win XP with Remotesoftware (Teamviewer) .. maybe the Remotesoftware is the reason?

Hmm, might be. Could you also reply in this topic please? Thanks!
