bbassinger Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 I was told to upgrade to 5 to avoid this issue a while back. I’ve completely deleted the mymovies database and started over and that helped but I still have a few titles that mess up during import and cause the timeout. I delete them and it continues on. For about the past two years, I have an issue where c4 cannot reconnect to the mymovies server after director restarts. Whether by power outage, reset, or update. I have to rebuild database through c4 and it instantly connects and rebuilds but it is such a pain and time consuming to monitor when titles “timeout” I don’t do it anymore.

csekar15 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 @bbassinger Thank you!! what do you mean when you say "deleted the mymovies database and started over"? How does one go about doing that? I've tried uninstalling Mymovies and reinstalling. For some reason, even when I do a "rebuild database", control4 only adds the movies that were added to mymovies when I was on version 4. Anything that I added after upgrading to Mymovies 5 is not even being considered for import. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbassinger Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 When mine stopped adding all titles and skipping some, I “cleared collection” through mymovies. Deleted and uninstalled everything in computer and in composer and started from scratch on mymovies 5. With about 1000 actual discs and several hundred movies recorded through TiVo, this was a pain to redo. EVERYTHING is lost and must be rescanned and reupdated. This is what Control4 tech support told me to do. Shortly after this is when the disconnects started. I would love to not have to rebuild the database through composer every time I change or update the programming or upgrade to new os. It still gets the timeouts and I haven’t left one in mymovies to see if it will eventually find it. If I add it in immediately, the timeout message is displayed over and over in LUA and I’d rather see “no updates required” or whatever it says when all is well.

South Africa C4 user Posted January 11, 2019 Author Share Posted January 11, 2019 I used MyMovies for years and the issues noted above drove me nuts. If you have an AppleTv 4K, I’d recommend dropping MyMovies and moving to Infuse Pro. It is phenomenal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We reinstalled the driver today and that changed the problem... Now it loads the first 24 movies of my collection (about 10%) and then gets no further... The LUA messages in debug mode indicate that it is is timing out... Exact message: EVQ - Timeout while connected - Count 1 on connection 6001 connection lost, retrying connection in 15 seconds Then it finds everything, notes a valid IP address and MyMovies found, before repeating the above error message... This then loops forever. Any suggestions would be welcome! On our side we have my movies 5.24 and all works well, just finished loading a whole bunch of kids movies on the server and all went well I will gladly pop round and have a look for you if you like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

csekar15 Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Hi, I solve the issue of movies added in MyMovies 5 not being brought into C4. The C4 driver looks at a MyMovies table called dbo.tblTitles. If you add a new movie to Mymovies 5 as a "movie", then it inserts that record into dbo.tblMovieGlobal. That is not a table that C4 driver looks at. Brian from Mymovies told me that I had to create it as a "Disc title" in Mymovies 5 for it to be inserted into dbo.tblTitles. I did that and, sure enough, C4 picked it up. I still have the problem with some movies getting stuck in scanning and C4 timing out on Mymovies. Was there ever a solution for this? I had read that it was on multi-disc movies. Chandra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

csekar15 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 I got a workaround for this. It happens only on ISO files. I used makemkv and converted it to a MKV file with just the main movie and C4 picks it right up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must admit that I now so much prefer the Infuse layout and the sorting of movies into their franchises (e.g. all of my James Bond films are together, all of my Harry Potter film are grouped together etc.) that I wouldn’t go back to native C4 movies until it gets a facelift.

Hi, Thanks for the tip. Does it import other movies that typically are not on the web? Home videos? Other language movies that I have ripped?

Mike_S101 Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 So I have looked at infuse briefly and we tried it on a trail basis The concerns I have with it is that it does not play "entire disc" as if it were playing of a disc player We want the menus and all that so we can choose our audio tracks, we don't want to go straight into a movie Any thoughts on if we did this wrong??

My understanding is that Infuse 5 does not give menu access but Infuse 6 (Due out shortly will). But. Say that from memory so I could be wrong... I don’t like the menus so haven’t missed that feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
