[ATV2] can't "Show Information" on movies
#1
Hi,

Just noticed a weird issue running the Oct 11 nightly. It happens whether I use the Confluence or reFocus skin (I haven't tried others, but could if need be).

I changed my settings to have "Show Information" chosen in the System settings under Video --> File Lists --> Default select action, rather than "Play". I then went into my movie library (stored on NAS via MySQL) and selected a movie, expecting it to show info. But it started playing, instead of "showing information".

If I go into my TV Show library, it DOES show information like it's supposed to when I select something. The "play rather than show info" behaviour only occurs when trying to play a movie (any movie).

XBMC log:

(an example of the relevant "get info" attempt for a movie starts on line 1,217)

Note: This isn't in the log, but I also tried changing the File List setting to "Choose" rather than "Show Information". When I clicked a movie, I got the dialog box asking me to either "Play" or "Show Information". But no matter which one I clicked, the movie always played--never showed info, even after I chose that from the dialog.

So, I take it that for everyone else, the "Show Information" function is working properly? Even just someone telling me that would be helpful, as then I'd know it's something on my end alone.

Thanks for confirming.

So...any ideas on this, folks? I can't get to any of my movies' information at all.

Sigh...figured it out. Movie source had somehow lost its content setting. Changed it back and now I can view movie info.
