Updating MP using SVN-snapshots on XP64 (1 Viewer)

[-.-PhanTom-.-]

Ok, just tried to update MP with latest SVN ...did not work....
Could not start MP or setup/config.
So uninstalled MP, rebooted, re-installed RC3, copied over SVN files, ran start.bat ...and here is where the problem is, I think...

regsvr32.exe /u /s "%windir%\system32\MpaDecFilter.ax" 
regsvr32.exe /u /s "%windir%\system32\Mpeg2DecFilter.ax"  
regsvr32.exe /u /s "%windir%\system32\MpegAudio.dll" 
regsvr32.exe /u /s "%windir%\system32\MpegVideo.dll"  
regsvr32.exe /u /s "%~dp0directshowhelper.dll"  
regsvr32.exe /u /s "%~dp0CLDump.ax" 
regsvr32.exe /u /s "%~dp0MpgMux.ax" 
regsvr32.exe /u /s "%~dp0MPTS.ax" 
regsvr32.exe /u /s "%~dp0MPSA.ax" 
regsvr32.exe /u /s "%~dp0MPTSWriter.ax" 
regsvr32.exe /u /s "%~dp0TSFileSource.ax"
regsvr32.exe /u /s "%~dp0TTPremiumSource.ax"

copy "%~dp0MpaDecFilter.ax" %windir%\system32\ 
copy "%~dp0Mpeg2DecFilter.ax" %windir%\system32\ 
copy "%~dp0MpegAudio.dll" %windir%\system32\ 
copy "%~dp0MpegVideo.dll" %windir%\system32\ 

regsvr32.exe /s "%windir%\system32\MpaDecFilter.ax" 
regsvr32.exe /s "%windir%\system32\Mpeg2DecFilter.ax" 
regsvr32.exe /s "%windir%\system32\MpegAudio.dll" 
regsvr32.exe /s "%windir%\system32\MpegVideo.dll" 
regsvr32.exe /s "%~dp0CLDump.ax" 
regsvr32.exe /s "%~dp0MpgMux.ax" 
regsvr32.exe /s "%~dp0MPTS.ax" 
regsvr32.exe /s "%~dp0MPSA.ax" 
regsvr32.exe /s "%~dp0MPTSWriter.ax" 
regsvr32.exe /s "%~dp0TSFileSource.ax"
regsvr32.exe /s "%~dp0TTPremiumSource.ax"

Does this apply to WinXP64 as well?
Should the dir be /system32 on XP64?

I cannot find the four files:
MpaDecFilter.ax
Mpeg2DecFilter.ax
MpegAudio.dll
MpegVideo.dll

in Mediaportal folder, /windows/system32 folder or in SysWOW64/system32 folder... or anywhere on C-drive (system) or d-drive (mediaportal partition) ....

I managed to start up the configuration, but get an exception error at the 4th screen where it wants to scan for media files.
Doesn't matter if I try to skip or actually scan for the files, it will crash ..
So I am stuck..someone please help


Tried yet another fresh install of RC3, but this time ran setup BEFORE copying over SVN files, no problems in setup, but after I copied SVN files, neither setup nor MP will start ....

svn's do many things, but actually stopping MP running setup is not usually one of them.
Unless there is something else underlying a corruption, ie is the mediaportal folder empty as it can be (i leave mphook and mptray there)
And restart from scratch all settings. (have done it today)
never use autoscan myself, as it misses most of my music files, but i can remember getting exception on that screen in the past and locking up.

hope this helped

Well, I un-installed RC3
rebooted,
cleared the entire MP folder,
re-installed RC3,
ran setup without problems,
copied over SVN files,
tried to lauch MP - did not work. Tried to start setup again, configurator.exe was started (saw in taskmanager),
ran for 15-20 seconds without anything showing on-screen, then stopped running and disappeared from taskmamager....

Wonder what is casuing this....

Please check your MP logs to see if they hold any answers. Also perhaps try a SVN snapshot from earlier in the week.

Same on my x64 XP. This happens for a longer time. I've tried to use older cvs snapshots as well, but it always crashes on my XP 64 Bit.

Here's the log entry:

17.04.2006 19:29:31 **** Please rescan your music shares ****
17.04.2006 19:29:31 musicdatabase exception err:The type initializer for 'SQLite.NET.SQLiteClient' threw an exception. stack: at SQLite.NET.SQLiteClient..ctor(String dbName)
at MediaPortal.Music.Database.MusicDatabase.Open()
...

I already deleted the database files without any success.

Same thing happens with RC4 and latest SVN....
Simply can't use SVNs

Can someone please try to investigate this issue?
Is it XP64 related?

Hi,

I have the same problem. Uninstalled RC3 (which worked ok), removed old directory, installed RC4, and get the exception when pressing next at screen 4 (searching for media) during configuration.

The exception is always in configuration.exe.

The last entry in the log is:

2006-04-21 17:14:42 found 2 tv cards
2006-04-21 17:14:42 Digital DVB-T Card:Pinnacle 300i DVBT

   at MediaPortal.TV.Database.TVDatabase.Open()
2006-04-21 17:15:01 tvdatabase opened

Maybe I should try to reinstall the Pinnacle software (it has not been uninstalled, but the log indicates that, or ... ?)

Any bright ideas?

[Edit: Note that I'm not using XP64!]

Hi again,

When installing RC4, I first followed these steps:

1: Uninstalled RC3
2: Removed the old directory
3: Installed RC4 ok
4: During setup, RC4 failed as described above (configuration.exe)

I then uninstalled RC4, restored the directory from step 2 above and installed RC4 to that directory (i.e. on top of the files left from the uninstallation of RC3).

Then starting MP worked fine, starting setup did not cause configuration.exe to be executed as the old settings from RC3 is used.

Still doesn't explain why the clean installation of RC4 didn't work ...

Hmm that kinda goes against what is recommended here - doing fresh and clean install...
But if it solves the problem and doesn't fuck up other things, I might as well give it a try...

Hi,

If you need support, then please fill in the support template and post any logfiles generated or exception details. If you don't we simply cannot help you. Just stating "I cannot start MP/config" does not provide us any details... :roll:

Kind regards,
Michel
