myvideos suddently hangs GBPVR

[marcomessina]

I had "my videos", "my pictures", "my music" installed and working great. Then GBPVR.exe and "Gbpvr MVP server" started hanging on start (gbpvr.exe creates process but its window never opens and also hangs .net on exit if system is restarted - if GBPVR.exe process is terminated first then .net exits ok).

I desabled all the plugins and gbpvr runs correctly. It also runs ok with my pictures active and my video disabled. The log below is from a run with my picures and music disabled and myvideos enabled which hangs as described:

I have made no configuration changes involving actors (I do not need that funtionality at all and have found no place to configure that stuff). I tried reinstalling all my videos files except for the database (I'd like to keep it if possible), but made no difference.
Any advice would be appreciated

Still looking for help on myvideos hanging gbpvr, see above post.
I have checked all hints in my videos FAQ. reinstalled from scratch several times. the problem exists only with my videos, NOT with my pictures or my music (they work great). Video playback is also working fine if initiated from Recordings or Video Library.
I am not trying to burn DVDs or do anything with trailers. I am only trying to manage my video library with my videos.
my videos worked for a while on another machine identical to this one. After reinstall it never worked again.

Latest GBPVR log follows

I made no changes in the setup of myvideos as far as authors are concerned. It is still as defulted in installation

Note the error from onscreenkeyboard.xml. I never had that file and do not know where it comes from, by my pictures, which calls it seems to run OK

Any help would be breatly appreciated.

thats just a bs warning message that gbpvr prints out, my videos handles this internally but theres no way to stop gbpvr from printing this to the log. in short ignore these warnings (but only these ones).

Thanks for the quick reply. I will ignore those messages, but I still have the same problem. I will recap:
If I activate the myVideos plugin the following occurs:
When I start either GBPVR or the server program that serves MediaMVP, the program goes into neverneverland. No window appears and the program seems to hang. However looking at the processes GBPVR is running.

If I run GBPVR again another task without window is started.
If I try to restart the PC .net will return errors (cannot be stopped automatically, must be aborted manually) as many times as I have run GBPVR. If I abort the GBPVR processes one at a time I can restart the pc without .net errors.

None of this happens with your other plugins which work perfectly.

FYI I have followed other threads of yours and can report that I have the latest MyVideos download, Onscreenkeyboard folder is installed, I use only the blue skin.

Thanks for any help

is that the end of the log file or does it continue?

fyi im in the process of completing my vids 5 so you may have to wait for that version for the fix (its a complete rewrite so chances are wont suffer from this little bug)
