Going back from nightly to 3.2.1

[Excalibur007]

I just updated to 3.2.1 from a recent nightly build (31667) and now my library is gone. Library mode in the Videos menu is grayed out even though it's enabled in the settings.

I checked the skin settings to make sure nothing had changed.
I tried different skins (been using Confluence Lite for a long time).
I tried disabling the Library and re-enabling it.
I tried deleting my old databases and profiles (after backing them up).

Nothing has helped. Anyone else having this problem? Any ideas what's causing it? For now, I'm switching back to a previous build.

edit: Went back to the previous build and everything's working again.

You can't go back from a nightly to the stable. the stable is a point release, so older code with some patches. Also, samba networking is different between stable and nightly (in stable you need to put credentials in the settings, its not on a per share basis). If you want to post a debug log from a fresh install I can look into the library not working as it should of course work from scratch, but open a new thread please.

Ah, so the stable 3.2.1 is actually older than a previous nightly? I didn't realize that. I thought they were incremental, so the stable would have all the changes from previous nightlies, but more thoroughly bug tested.

Thanks for the info.

I branched 3.2 to make some fixups - using the term older is a little confusing - it's the 3.2 + some fixes from 3.3-dev. the nightly is the upcoming 3.3 version that is very much of development quality. I'll do an alpha release of it when it gets closer to being ready.

ah this answers my Q thanks.. so the 3.2.1 is just the 3 fixes on news page? or more?

just bundling A4x installer is a pretty big deal imho well worth doing.

still needs an update mechanism

OP - I just upgraded to 3.2.1 and am also having the same problems as you - library mode disabled.

Update: Just checked the logs - looks like you need to delete and redo your database. It doesnt like the old version of the DB I really don't feel like redoing it - then I lose all the markers with what I've already watched.

"ERROR: Can't open the database MyVideos34.db as it is a NEWER version than what we were expecting!"

You should not be running nightly builds unless you are happy to re-do things like databases, and help with feedback and bug reports etc. the nightly has a newer database structure than the 3.2 series.

nightly builds should be considered development releases.

Ahh - ok. Thanks for that.
