BoxSetProviderFromXml Errors

[Dan64 30]

I have installed the MB version 3.0.5070.20258

 

Looking to the server log I have found a hundres of errors related to BoxSetProviderFromXm, here some sample:

The problem is related to the fact that I have a nested folder hierarchy and some folder is interpreted as a Boxset even if not (the name that I have used aren't commercial boxset). To avoid to have this error logged I have locked all these folder (I have unchecked the option to retrieve the metadata from internet providers) but in any case the server compliant regarding these folders. There is a way to stop MB3 server to catch these errors ?

yea make sure the files have valid xml

But in these directories there is only the file "collection.xml" that is empty and is added by MCM, I have to remove this file ?

I told Pete about it and he said he'd fix it. Not sure if that's happened yet. You can remove them or just wait for him. The errors are handled so it's not causing any issues for you.
