Error:Object not set

[darrin75]

error object not set to instance of object

What need to be changed for this to work with the skin version. I get alot of these with some of the old source code from earlier skin versions

[sub]

This should really be posted in the developers section.

You've not given enough information for anyone to answer your question. The answer could be anything.

what are you referring to? the only skin new skin version are for the tv guide etc, its not a different skin format, sub just added more things in the skin.xml for these features, so if your trying to make a plugin yourself, its not a skin version. look in the gbpvr.exe.log it should tell you where the error occured, the .cs file and the line.

this is what the line says in the cs

if (savedIdList[l].InnerXml == idListTmp[i].InnerXml) {
found = true;
break;
}
}

[sub]

There is either no element in savedIdList with a key of 'l', or no element in idListTmp with a key or 'i'. I've never used this plugin so cant give you much more to go on.

whats the line 644 in the moviedbtask.cs file say? i know the moviedb plugin requires a xml file to begenerated by some program (i forget the name) for it to run. make sure that file is correct.

[darrin75]

newFile.LoadXml(myFiles);

[sub]

It sounds like the XML file has some garbage at Line 273, position 31.

hehe i missed that part.
