Then I moved the AVIs out of the CD1 and CD2 folders (so instead of ..\harlem nights\cd1 and ..\harlem nights\cd2 now both AVIs are in ..\harlem nights), no change. Then I turned of the 'use folder names' pref. BAM! No more crash!
So, I'm convinced that somehow or another the 'use folder names' pref is a culprit to some extent of my crashes. Too bad, that IS how I store my stuff.
btw, why should having a CD1 and CD2 folder under the movie folder cause issues? I thought that was a legal naming convention, no?
Anyway, hope all this helps you track some of these bugs down Billy.
Again thanks for all your efforts on this (now and in the past). You've delivered us a very cool piece of software and I for one am grateful and looking forward to seeing it evolve.
peace.
I can't see the reason for the crash since I have been unable to duplicate it.
When using Folder Names with media companion, it gets the name of the folder containing the media item,
In your case that media item is the rar archive and the folder name is CD1 and MC is searching for a movie called CD1, somehow this returns a movie called "jam", but I managed to change it without issue, so I can only assume that another setting is causing the issue.
A copy of your config would help since it would allow me to use the exact settings you are.
