Inset and Menutype

[eurojojo]

I know this problem was mentioned before, f.e. under the Skins part of the forum, but there are no good answers.

I get the "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" error when viewing LiveTV and after viewing every recording. For the rest the system works fine. It did not happen before, only after installing the 09516 version (must admit I missed a few versions before this, I upgraded from 09413).

I unchecked almost all plugins, but that did not help.

In the error log I see:

When I edit the Main Menu blue skin.xml file, and remove the remarks tags in the line for the Inset, that error disappears, and the Menutype error line remains.
<!--<SpecialElement name="Inset" loc="490,150" size="180,150"/> -->

Sub, I read that the Inset thingy is something you use for yourself. Maybe you left something in the code that should not be there.

Anybody any clues?

Must be a bug in MyVideos. If you delete the MyVideos dll from the "c:\program files\devnz\gbpvr\plugins" directory, the problem will go away. Alternatively, if you still want to use My Videos, ask reven what the problem with it is.

These are optional settings, and nothing to worry about. Everyone gets these messages unless they're using a skin which explicitly uses the Inset and MenuType features. Just ignore these messages in your log, they're not really an error.

Sub, quick reply, as always.

I upgraded MyVideos to the most recent version, and the problem of the Object reference indeed disappears. But now LiveTV immediately jumps back to the main screen. I'll figure that out, or ask Reven. Thanx for the quick support.
