Library Mode Greyed out - bmac6996 - 2010-01-11

Hi. Fan of this software!

So I tried d/l the latest stable version and now have upgraded to the lastest nightly build.

When I first installed the stable version, I was able to get setup my video library, select the type and get library mode working. For whatever reason it greyed out and I can't get back into it working.

Reading other posts and tried upgrading to latest nightly build. Still no go.

Here is my log:

Please help. I would like to get library mode working.. it looks nice!

Thank you

I know they are working on the database so it may be that your sources are invalid now.


- spiff - 2010-01-11

to enable the library you need to have stuff in the library - damn logical eh? scan some shit.

I already have sources.

In file mode.. it shows all in there. All folders, with art and movie. Set it to default and type and scrapper.

But library mode is grayed out.

Any more ideas?

You have to manually scan at least one item before the library enables. Select some random film or mp3 (for mp3s I'd select the folder) and press C then choose "Add item to library". Once you've done this the library mode will be enabled.

If you have already done this than maybe the database has been damaged. In that case backup then delete your userdata folder and try rescanning.

Yep. I add the folder.

Hit C and gives me the option to scan.. I scan.. and its there under Files.

Look to see if i can get into library mode.. no go.

I also tried rebuilding database.. I deleted the database folder in my appdata/xbmc folder in Win 7. Reload XBMC and it looks like it rebuild but still same issue.

Don't bump your own posts in <24hrs without any new details. XBMC has a world wide community, people sleep. Also, impatience is a great way to get those of us who actually know how to fix problems to ignore your thread.

Ok.. so I come home and I did the guide (which i've done before).

I did the run automated scan (again) and this time it works. library was highlighted and i was able to get in.

As I amazed i was.. i tried to duplicate this success. Delete the source and tried doing it again.. no go.. now it doesn't work.. Don't understand this.

Any ideas??

(Sorry for the quick bump... i was already on the 2nd page.. didn't want to get lost in the many issues)

highlight a show and click "i" or your info button. That should force the show to get into the library. It's not a long term method, but it'll say a lot about what's going on.

Well that did work. I pulled up the info on the movie and it brought library mode to life. Now when I go into library mode, that movie I pulled info about is the only movie in there.

Is there a way that I can do an "info" to all my movies to get it into library mode? or is there something else I can do to get this library mode working?


- natethomas - 2010-01-14

That's supposed to be what scanning does. I'm guessing you either skipped a step or having something a little bit odd going on with your network. Try rescanning. Tell us how you have the "set content" page set up, and post a debug log done while scanning.

Not attempting to hi-jack, but I'm having similar problems with library set up. If I "i" on a film, a message appears that it is "loading movie details" and after a long pause the film (just that film) is available in the library.

Will pop up details of my own problems in my own thread but just to say I am having similar issues....
