Missing plugins in MVP

[gdselzer]

I just upgraded from 0.95.13 to 0.95.16 and I'm now missing My Music on the MVP (but not on the GB-PVR machine). I am also unable to browse network folders in My Videos on the MVP (again, not an issue on the GB-PVR machine). Has anyone else seen this? More importantly, how do I diagnose the issue?

Thanks all.

Have a look in your gbpvr.exe.log. It probably list an error.

Sub, sure enough, this is in the log file. I looks to me like it relates to a Skin issue. I'm using BlueMCE2. Should I change my skin? I would do it right now but I'm in the middle of a recording. Can you help me decipher it?

The easiest way to see if it is a skinning issue is to wait until your recording has finished and then change to the default blue skin. If that works OK, simply copy the MyMusic skin directory from the blue to the BlueMCE2 one.

Changing to Blue skin lost me a couple more plugins and created a larger error log. Not good.

I have the same problem with My Pictures. The button is on the PC and not on the MVP. This is with the blue skin and the Christmas skin.

I'm hoping someone can help decipher the log file. I changed log to debug and have attached it. Can anyone help point me in the right direction? Is there more information I can share that will help. Thanks

This log is for the BlueMCE2 skin, not the vanilla blue. Can you try switching to plain old Blue and post the log for that?

[gdselzer]

Sorry about that. Here is the log using plain old Blue.

You've got some skin files missing.
