Title: MCWS problem
Post by: mhwlng on June 01, 2014, 05:27:52 am

If I delete movies/tv shows in MC (regular view or theater view)

then try to browse the movies/tv shows through the MCWS web service. Media center will crash.
So every time I delete a file, I have to restart media center before trying to use the web service.

(this is not a new problem)

I can't reproduce this, I was browsing around movies and then deleted a movie, and tried to access it again, but it still worked just fine.
Tried the same with a TV Show, accessed the folder through the Web Service, deleted the entire show from the MC GUI, and then tried MCWS again, no crashes.

Any other hints? Which request exactly causes it possibly? :)

I just tried it :

this crashes MC after I delete a movie:

MCWS/v1/Browse/Files?Action=MPL&ID=....

(I am drilling down from a genre)

I found it, should be fixed in the next build. Thanks for reporting. You'll get an empty playlist instead.
In my tests, the entry for this category disappeared from the above Browse/Children request, so I guess you are caching those?

That doesn't sound right ?

I start at the top with genre

e.g. 'Comedy'

after clicking on 'Comedy' I do MCWS/v1/Browse/Files?Action=MPL&ID=.... and get e.g. 20 movies

now I delete a movie

I start at the top again

after clicking on 'Comedy' I do MCWS/v1/Browse/Files?Action=MPL&ID=.... and I should now get 19 movies

instead MC crashes.

Oh yeah, that should work too. I was testing slightly differently, where the entire category vanished.

Ok, no problem then :-)

(I don't cache the genre list, but somebody could theoretically have the web browser open on the removed genre webpage and then presses F5 to refresh... This is unlikely though...)
