yes the syncing with synology cloudstation was causing the issue. I have excluded the Database folder from this syncing and MyPicsDb now works like a dream.

Thanks again for your help.

Yep, I previously reported the same issue with a pre-Frodo build: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...pid1188534

I think there were some Python API changes that need to be updated on the MyPicsDB end, but not sure exactly what needs to be changed. Seems like the argument to translatePath must now be a string, which I guess it currently isn't.

MyPicsDB 1.1.0, Frodo 20120909 and Windows 7 work.
But I still had no time to test it with Linux.

I think the devs are heavily changing the python API.
Please consider that Frodo is still alpha.

edit:
(@froman: What OS do you use?)
Okay, I saw your home path in the log. Question is needless. Seems to be a problem with the Linux version.

There are a lot of equal errors like: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=141967

Frodo release
For a quick fix please change in resources/lib/MypicsDB.py:

1a) delete
1b) insert
2) change
to

This should work.
Please give feedback.

It worked for me!

Thanks a lot

Does it support indexing of video files (i saw it on the settings but i see no video in video folder ...) ?

hi guys i'm using from first release this add-on combined with aeon nox.
i have set a link to my videos through the mypicsdb.
yesterday i noticed that he lost a couple of videos from the list and doubled some others.
i can't find videos of 2011 ad 2012 folders. i have rescanned but without results.
my pictures/videos are divided into years and i scan years by years
any idea? i thought to delete and rescan everything, have you a tip for me?
peppe

i'm on eden and aeon nox 3.6.1

The video bug and a lot of other bugs like the Frodo one are solved but currently not pushed back to XBMC repository.
If you need videos within MyPicsDB then install "Xycl abandoned Dharma Repository" and afterwards MyPicsDB.
It should have version 1.1.8.1

i'm already on 1.1.8.1 but i have the same issues on videos.
i have the "Xycl abandoned Dharma Repository" so i have uninstalled and reinstalled mypicsDB (always 1.1.8.1) but nothing........
peppe

Please check the file extensions of your videos and the MyPicsDB configuration. The configuration contains a list with video file extensions.

are mp4 ad the extension is ther from default
the videos are disappeared...... i had videos in my list now they are vanished and others are doubled.
i think i will delete the database and rescan!
could you tell me the file to delete.
grazie
peppe

It's in the database directory where all the other databases are located

deleted the db, rescanned one of the folders with the vanished videos.
now the videos are there.
peppe

ok, i have rescanned every folders and now everything is in his own place.
i have a question, i have planned to update my system to frodo and re-do all from scratch. could i use the same Mypictures.db file or i have to rescan?
thank you
peppe
