Hello,
I've been doing a lot of research on my problems.
And i believe they're caused by old/wrong windows registries.
I found two different registry paths in regedit;
First one is;
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-3390479567-2327377751-1397374930-1000\Software\eXtremeMovieManager
which includes very old and wrong data;
quote:
Name Type Data
#64830;Default#64831; REG_SZ #64830;value not set#64831;
DatabaseFile REG_SZ C:\Databases\XMM\ERKE.mdb
FileAviSearchPath REG_SZ P:\filmler\Tron
FolderScanner REG_SZ P:\filmler\Tron
MyKey REG_SZ hidden@hidden.com
OpenDatabasePath REG_SZ C:\Databases\XMM
and a second one;
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-3390479567-2327377751-1397374930-1000\Software\eXtremeMovieManager8
which includes rather new data but XMM doesn't use;
quote:
Name Type Data
#64830;Default#64831; REG_SZ #64830;value not set#64831;
DatabaseFile REG_SZ D:\Programlar\XMM8\DB\ERKE_1.mdb
FileAviSearchPath REG_SZ V:\DIZI
FirstTimeStart REG_SZ OK
FolderScanner REG_SZ D:\Programlar\XMM8\
OpenDatabasePath REG_SZ D:\Programlar\XMM8\DB
XMMDataPath REG_SZ D:\Programlar\XMM8\
Now if you notice in the first one, it says "FolderScanner REG_SZ P:\filmler\Tron" which is where the device scanner get stucked, explained in this topic; http://www.binaryworks.it/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=10385
I think it keeps checking P:\filmler\Tron to look for NEW files and can not find them. Because in the device scanner it prints this path when I click "START SCAN". It is interesting that XMM still reads P:\filmler\Tron registry, because in the CURRENT program settings, the path is set to "P:\filmler\" only.
I didn't want to change or delete anything here without consulting you first Alessio. So could you please guide me to fix these duplicate entries in my registery.
Also I would appreciate if you could also check this topic;

Thx in advance

Thank you for your suggestions but as you can see my authentication code is in extrememoviemanager registry inputs so i rather not touch them without Ale approving first =)
And for the text files, yes they have the updated folder paths but i doubt that config.ini overrides those because i was able to see my undetected movies only by deleting my config.ini over and over again.
The only problem I have right now is the magicscript. It's been over a month now that i can't use XMM properly and this annoys me much. =( |

If you don't have a previous version of XMM installed I suppose it's safe to remove the "extremeMovieManager" (without 8) keys.
Before changing anything in the registry it's good practice to make a backup of the values you're about to alter. Remember: they never want you - the user - to play around with registry keys... 
As for the XMM8 keys: I doubt that it will change much of XMMs behaviour if you fiddle with 'em. You're free to test things (maybe this "FolderScanner" key has a meaning - only Ale knows) but I wouldn't put much hope into it. 
BTW: the device scanner search folders should be stored in simple text files called "FolderList.txt" and "FolderListTV.txt" respectively. Those two files live within XMM8s' \configuration\ directory. |

extremeMovieManager (without 8) keys are for previous versions. That way both version 7 and version 8 can coexist. At least in theory they should - and for me they indeed do.
From what Ale once said I believe XMM does not use the registry much anyway these days. Most values should be in the config.ini file. |
