Category won't stay set

Postby tswhite70 on Fri Jan 27, 2006 6:05 pm

I've been racking my brain trying to figure this out for a week now. Maybe somebody else has seen it.

I've created a custom DB, the format of the DB is the same as the movies DB. I then created a new screen with a category and assigned the DB to it. Everything shows up as it should, navigation works etc. But when I close Xlobby and restart the screen no longer show any items. Checking the db association for the category, no db's are highlighted. If I highlight a different db and then back to the original it shows up again and everything is great until I restart Xlobby. Looking at the XML for the screen definition when Xlobby is closed, the category is assigned to the correct db <database>dbname</database>. But for some reason Xlobby is not able to successfully make the association on startup.

The DB is in the Xlobby\databases directory. And I've tried removing the db and readding it along with rebuilding the category display screen from scratch.

Any ideas?
TIA,

I finally figured it out. Turns out it was the category name I was using "intheaters". Any other category name worked fine but this one would never stay set for some reason.
