I tested Constellation 1.31 and found its design and functionality awsome, so I bought the pro version. Everything was working correctly, except that no movies were displayed on Constellation. TV Shows and Music were shown correctly though.
So, I installed upgrade 1.4.1 and 1.4.2 on my ipad (running iOS 4.2.1). Now, a few seconds after starting Constellation, the application crashes and exits. This occurs on both versions (1.4.1 and 1.4.2).
I am running Dharma 10.1 (no nightly builds) and my databases are quite big (3500 movies, 170 TV Shows, 4800 music albuns). I think the problem lies on my movies database. I have read somewhere about problems with illegal characters... The problem is, I have no idea how to troubleshoot it.
Any help is appreciated.
Regards,
Spider
If it's illegal characters... there's a few ways to troubleshoot... however with such a large library of movies, it might be time consuming... The first thing I would do is make sure watched files aren't hidden to make sure you don't miss any. Next install the Web Interface Add-on XWMM (I'm not by the server right now, so may be slightly different name) and activate that. Now you use XBMC's web interface to view essentially tables with your music, movies and tv shows... you can scroll through them rather quickly and glance for accents. If you find any with 'non-standard' characters, select that movie and in the title field, rename the movie, substituting the 'bad' character. Now, I'm not sure if it's my system, a glitch with the add-on or what, but it appears you have to TAB out of the Title field for the Save button to actually highlight, don't assume it changed the database. Once you click save a little glowing status/progress bar with say something like "Updating movie info" or "Saving movie info"... Anyway, hope this helps.
Side note... if you don't have movies already tagged properly for movie sets, the add-on above works great for setting those up as well.
