Missing plugins in MVP

[gdselzer]

So I re-loaded the MyMusic, MyVideos, and MyPictures plugins. Now my log file looks like this. I don't see any more skin issues (but what do I know, I'm a friggin' mo on this). Where now?

You logs show MyMusic not starting because its configured to use the directory that doesnt exist. MyPictures is disabled, so it wont show up. I'm not sure why MyVideos isnt there.

Also, make sure you're changing the skin for the both MVP and the PC -- I got myself wigged out for about 15 minutes when I forgot to switch the MVP skin back to default Blue and was having some troubles on the MVP after the last upgrade that I wasn't having on my PC.

I double checked, and the directory configured in MyMusic is valid and working (it's a network drive). I did NOT change the configuration as part of the upgrade. I did deselect the MyPictures plugin since it doesn't work on MVP. I suspect the MyVideos may not be working for the same reason as MyMusic, as most of the configured directories there are network drives.

Sub, do you think this might be the issue? Would you suggest that I try removing network drives and replace with local to see if it fixes the problem?

Remember the MVP runs under a differenty user account, so it wont have the same drives mapped.

I think I figured it out. It was the same issue (and resolution) as this thread http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?t=9623

I had set the GBPVR Recording service to use an actual account. When I upgraded, it defaulted back to Local System. The Local System account can't access the network. I changed it back to the user and the error logs are (virtually) error free. I can't check the MVP to see if it really worked until I get home. I'll post again if it did not.

I don't know if there is anything you can do (or need to do) about this Sub. But maybe there's a way during an upgrade to check if the user for the service has been changed away from Local System, and if it has to leave it alone? Of course, the other thought is to just add it to the Wiki and/or FAQ. I don't fully understand the mechanics of what's going on here, but if you would like, I'd be happy to make the addition to FAQ.

Thanks to all (particularly Sub) for the help and awesome software.

To be honest, its too much of a pain in the arse. You'll just have to remember you've changed this, and reset it after upgrades.
