Hi,

Oh.. Well. Do you have a PC with an ARM processor? What kind of pc do you have? :)

Nessus85100 commented 4 years ago

Nope... plain Intel Quad processor.

This is the first time that this happens. Until version 2.6.0 i had never this kind of issue

bugwelle commented 4 years ago

Hi,

I've never heard of that issue before... :-/ Could you send me a screenshot of that error? Are there any more details like why the app can't be started? :)

Regards, Andre

alexls74 commented 4 years ago

Probably Windows 32-bit version.

Nessus85100 commented 4 years ago

It's a simple Win10 OK dialog with no more details on it. And yes, it's a 32bit version.

bugwelle commented 4 years ago

Ooohhh.... Should have asked that first. Thank you @alexls74

@Nessus85100 MediaElch requires a 64-bit system. I don't intend to publish an official 32-bit version because I can't test it as I don't have a 32-bit CPU. A lot of people see 32-bit systems as too old and even some Linux distributions tried to go 64-bit only.

I could create a Windows 32-bit version for you but in case of crashes, support will become more difficult. I can create a 32-bit Windows version of MediaElch if you want one. :-)

By the way, MediaElch builds on top of Qt. Qt doesn't support 32bit on some Linux distributions anymore. Windows is still supported, though. See https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/supported-platforms.html

PS: I hope that all of MediaElch's latest releases are 64 bit or I've misconfigured the deployment process.

Nessus85100 commented 4 years ago

Oh well... i didn't know that. I've been using MediaElch for years and never had any problems running on my windows 32bit system till now. I haven't updated for months and my latest version 2.6.0. was working fine.

In any case, since i am not planning to update windows any time soon (to much applications re-installs!) it would be nice if you can build a 32bit version, just to be up-to-date.

Cheers Nessus

Ok,

takes longer than I anticipated. I'm missing some packages. It's possible that I won't have time to look into it until next week. :-/

Can totally understand it. It's just that all of our dependencies are slowly migrating to 64-bit only. :)

bugwelle commented 4 years ago

I finally got around to create a 32-bit version of MediaElch. You can download it at https://bintray.com/bugwelle/MediaElch/download_file?file_path=MediaElch_win_2.6.5-dev_2020-03-11_19-52_git-travis-archer96-961d76e.zip (the travis-archer96) is the name of my git branch; archer96 was my previous GitHub username).

Tested on Windows 8.1:

Unbenannt

It took a bit longer because I had to test what new dependencies were necessary. Some libraries had different names.... Please let me know whether everything works as expected. If it does then I may consider adding a "legacy" 32-bit Version for future versions as well. :-)

Nessus85100 commented 4 years ago

I just downloaded and tested. Everything works fine. Thank you very much for this.

That will be great, and i think this will benefit many others like me.

Thanks Nessus

bugwelle commented 4 years ago

Thanks for your feedback :-)

Nessus85100 commented 4 years ago

@bugwelle There is a minor issue in this. "Original Name", "Writer" & "Director" fields are not saved if you try to modify them. It keeps getting the old info even if i delete the values completely. I try version 2.6.0 and it works fine. I could properly change the values of all those fields and when open this version (2.6.5-dev) all my edited values with version 2.6.0 were showing fine.

So... with version 2.6.5-dev you cannot edit the values of the "Original Name", "Writer" & "Director" fields.

EDIT: I found another one. If you click to the Poster to change the image, i get no images and there is red text in the top left of the window like this one... icon-paypalme ...but If choose one of the TMDB or Fanart.tv from the menu on the left then the images are showing fine. This is happening only with Poster. All the other type of art are working fine.

Thanks Nessus
