MC was opening yesterday but wont open now [Solved]

Ok so deleted my .jriver/mc31 folder again, remembered to enable debugging, prevented importing, and changed the size to 125% I did not change the skin.

I have so far been able to close mc and start it again several times. going to change the skin and see what happens.

Well modern cards dark seems to work, I have closed down MC and restarted it 12 times.

So thunderstorm seems to be the problem. changing the skin to thunderstorm and closing MC, MC will no longer start.

I been testing all the other theme's and they don't cause the crash on launch. it strikes me as a little bizarre that this one skin causes these crashes on launch.

Awesome Donkey:
That is a bit strange, yeah. Thunderstorm is the only one? Hmmm.

The thing that stands out to me with Thunderstorm's main.xml is that at the bottom scaling is enabled, even though the skin doesn't have any 2x images or anything like that. Wonder if it'd stop doing it if that was removed?

If you want to try an experiment, you can try opening Thunderstorm's main.xml in a text editor and scroll down to the bottom and either comment out this part using #s or just remove this part...


--- Code: ---<SCALE>
   <Data Enabled="1" />
 </SCALE>
--- End code ---

This will disable scaling for the skin, but seeing it doesn't have any 2x images that *may* be the cause here.

P.S. There's two more oddities I see here with Thunderstorm's main.xml is 1) the extra space between </TAGWINDOW> and <SCALE> and 2) the presence of an extra preceding spaces before </SCALE>, which likely won't matter on Windows, but *could* on Linux or Mac. That's something else you can try too, removing that extra preceding space. There's actually a few more extra preceding spaces present in the bottom part of the main.xml file too (SPLITVIEWTAB and TAGWINDOW). Bob would have to comment if that could cause your issue.

Awesome Donkey:
Here's a modified Thunderstorm main.xml that I went through and removed the extra spaces and moved the scale part to the top like with other skins. Just override the existing Thunderstorm main.xml located in the hidden .jriver folder in your Home directory > Media Center 31 > Skins > Standard View > ThunderStorm. Hopefully it does the trick. :)

Sadly No Joy with the modified main.xml. But thank you vmuch for your efforts on my behalf.
