[capone]

Just started getting this since updating to new verison. Happend when I tried to add a movie:

just to let you know i have read this and will look into it (just do a err boop, beep errr whatever people say) in about a week if i havent replied back, uni is really busy at the moment and i cant do anything until wednesday (which i might just take off and do nothing), thats wednesday the 24th.

No rush, and thx. I just hopped back to v3 for the moment.

It may help, but when I do the old lookup there (ctrl + r), it gets the description and cover just fine.

Btw, one thing I've always noticed between v3 and v4x is the ratio of the covers in preview view mode changed to a force square shape w/ a border. Is that the case, or do I have a page not updated right for the new version?

Also no hurry, but just to let you know I get this error too - only when getting movie info from imdb (amazon, tv.com etc are fine) so they may have changed something?. Sometimes brings up list to select from, but then goes to "Object not found..." error after a long "retrieving movie information" dialogue. Hope this helps,

cheers,

tieke.

yeah i changed everything to composite images in version 4 so the images get stretched out, but thats only on folders which kind of looks better (well a folder image should be square).

what are you guys looking up when you get this error? im able to lookup from imdb.com without any problems.

i should be able to look into this in the next few days (ive got a exam tonight, but then ive got a few days of bugger all).

All I would get is the "Object reference not set to an instance of an object.". The detail is back in the start. It only seems to happen in v4, as the old one-button version is workign fine aagin in 3.

I got the impression you were fitting it to the folder, so it made sense in that part. I guess I'm wondering, in that view, what the importance of having the folder icon would be, since nothing but the thumbnail would fit on it.

[reven]

i like the folder, it just shows its actually a folder and not a video file.

what do you push to get that error? just the red button on a movie? cos im pretty sure i removed the red button as "best effort" from that version (red now adds a video to a playlist).

[capone]

I use the red button now, but yes, it's gone in 4. It's just going to IMDB through the menus, to get movie info. It would do the retrieving message, and then boot out w/ the error. If you tried going back, either the retireving msg would still be there, or it would kick you out w/ the error again.

I think the folder is good to have, too, and I like knowing now as I keep all my movies in subfolders. I guess maybe the shape of it is what I'm thinking of. I guess if the folder icon were something custom that looked like a folder but was a more accomodating shape, it would give you the pragmatism of knowing it was a folder, but the aesthetics of fitting posters or thumbnails.
