Brad Beam Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I have a little older system running on 1.74 yesterday i put dome new dvds in the changer, and had to manually enter them. Now when i open up Composer ME and clink on the changer it shows every slot is empty. I need help i am about to have a mutiny on my hands with the kids. BTW i can go to the equip rack and manually select a movie and play it. I assume something is glitchy i hope some one has an answer for me. I also have had a few total power failures in the last couple weeks. TthanksBrad Beam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Lowe Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 hopefully you have a back up of the media and can restore a recent version. likely a power outage corrupted the project and the data may be lost outside of entering it all again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Beam Posted April 12, 2015 Author Share Posted April 12, 2015 I have tried manually entering the titles and cover art but it doesnt work. I have uninstalled and reinstalled composer also. This is frustrating.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyknight Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 corrupt mm.db file. It will have to be deleted, controller rebooted - if you havea backup from pre-outage, you could try loading it after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyknight Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 You could do it - though at you're own risk. You'd have to make a network connection to the controller, and search for mm.db on it.Delete and then reboot the controller - it will create a new file automatically on startup. As said - it'll be at your own risk though, be sure to have back-ups in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyknight Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 ? Whay asking for trouble?The controller should show up under network locations - browse and/or use search from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Beam Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share Posted April 14, 2015 ? Whay asking for trouble?The controller should show up under network locations - browse and/or use search from there.I am always asking for trouble it seems. Thanks for the heads up. My dealer is preparing a quote to add another controller and some other items, he may just have to fix my goof when he is there. I will try this this evening.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyknight Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Quick note I want to make - the mm.db file contains ALL your media info - so also your channels, music etc info (not the actual data, just the metadata) Again, with the understanding you're doing this at your OWN risk!!Not that you risk anything other than losing all you movie and cover art etc. If you're using windows, open an explorer window. Type: \\[main controller ip]\db You'll see mm.db right there. As said, make sure you have some backups available just in case. Alternative to deleting that file, you could also rename it by adding something like .corrupt or .old at the end Once done, power down your controller, wait for a few minutes, power it back up - boot CAN take a bit more time at this point - and it will create a new mm.db file (which will be blank). Before trying to scan/add media/load back-up - type in the above line again and ensure the mm.db file is back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyknight Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Note that you can also back-up your media lists separately - right click on the NAS/device and use the export media list option - smaller files, and generally you can reload them becasue they don't contain the corruption.
