Object reference not set to an instance of an object...WTF?

by **Toasty** on Mon Feb 19, 2007 4:59 pm

When I try to add movies I keep getting this:

If you click Quit, the application will close immediately. Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Music adds fine it is just for movies I am a noob at this so maybe there is something I am missing?

I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but it looks like you're running an old version of XL (1.0.2403.37773) - the current version is (1.0.2519.37788). You can go to F2\Download to update.

Or get the "experimental" ie current release version from here: http://www.xlobby.com/downloads

good luck,

Thanks for that, but even after downloading the current version it still does it

give us more info what u are doing.
adding to a NEW datasbe.if so try to create it before import
adding to a existing database?
whats your paths
does the screen exist that it tries to open?Check events
did u try to MOVE your movie.xml and REImport all items?
security issues on paths?
OS? not vista is it?

If all fails.take the default skin and try there, so u know if it is a skin problem or a other problem.

u need to press F2 (it is a key on your board) to enter setup and set paths there...

I'm getting the same error when I try to add a new path for movies. Adding paths for Music and Pictures works fine, but when adding movies it is bombing when you click Ok on the directory selection dialog.

edit: and I am running the latest experimental build from today.

I tried xlobby on another machine and it works fine on that one. So the question becomes why doesn't it work on the machine I need it to work on? Is there any additional information you guys need besides the stack trace?

by **lar282** on Thu Mar 01, 2007 9:00 am

see my last post and report back

by **sosuke3** on Thu Mar 01, 2007 11:38 pm

XP Pro SP2.
Latest experimental build.

Hit F2 and go into setup. Click on "Basic" and hit the "add" button in the "Movie Paths" section. Picked a folder on my local E: drive and hit "Ok". Bombs with an unhandled exception and the stack trace posted by the OP. It's something in your "add" buttons code. I would debug it but I get the feeling you're not about to release the source code.

did u try to delete the movie.xml and then start xl and try again?

by **sosuke3** on Fri Mar 02, 2007 1:05 pm

That fixed it.
