Missing play button

[nodiaque 62]

Hello,

 

I'm currently using MBT 3.0.5449.38622 with MB server 3.0.5445.6. For an unknown reason, my tv shows library doesn't have a play button on episodes anymore. All other library are, but not this one. Yesterday, everything was fine.

 

In MB Web, I can play any episode, so it's really MBT that is having a weird issue. Running MBT on the same machine that is running the server so it's not a path issue or access denied.

 

Windows 8.1 x64

 

Thanks

Made some test and the problem go away when I remove the external player. thing is, the file format, mkv, is used in other library and is working with the external player... really something glitchy

 

edit: I was wrong, removing the external player didn't bring back the play button, only removing all cache of mbt restore it, once..

Found out it happen only on my Windows 8.1. I copied the installation from my Windows 7, disabled internet to be sure it doesn't update and same problem. There seems to be a problem with Windows 8.1 and MBT for TV Shows only...

Just wanted to say, I tried from another Windows 8.1 which was working fine and now, in MBT, it doesn't work anymore when I set an external player.... could it be because of backup I made?

more effort has been put into the internal player. external players still may have some odd quirks such as sthat

I finally find out why. It's the MB server that was causing the problem, weird. I might have restores too many file from the backup and it was having some strange behavior with the tv shows. I decided to erase the server again and restore only cache, config, plugins, user.db and user-v2.db. This time, tv shows work properly with external player. very weird.

You should use the Server Configuration Backup plug-in instead in the future.

I though that was in dev, that's what I saw in the thread

[ebr 16169]

That is the old testing thread.  It has been in the catalog for a couple months now.
