Old Database Does Not Work
patch:
--- Quote from: nostra on August 07, 2009, 02:02:13 am ---I'll try to fix the problem, but I am not really sure if I can change this behavior from my side. The -portable switch will change nothing in this situation.

I had assumed it was a problem with how firebird prevents multiuser access, thus outside of your control.
--- Quote from: obi on August 06, 2009, 01:16:59 pm ---With the process monitor from sysinternals I found out, that PVD (started as user2) tries to open the file “D:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\User1\Anwenderdaten\Personal Video Database\pvdconf.ini”
--- End quote ---
Access to pvdconf.ini gave me some hope though as I thought this was more likely to be from PVD than firebird, but I could well be too optimistic.

Hi to all! :D
Thank you for a wonderful program. :)
I'm a new user and spent the night adding movies. Then all of sudden today I got the error code 3 message. I found the solution myself while preparing to ask for help here. I thought I'd mention it in case some other newbie has done what I did.
I accidentally had opened two instances of PVD. The old one ran in the tray and I had forgotten about it. That was all. I'm a happy camper again. :-*

Welcome, mumin.
Thanks for pointing this out. In testing this, I see the resulting error messages are exactly as reported here...

Failed to open database
File is not a valid database Connection authorization failure Error Code: 3
--- End quote ---
Hopefully, looneytv has since figured that out.
BTW, if you'd rather do without the minimize to tray behaviour, remove pvdtotray.dll from your Plugins directory.

Hi again !
Thx again Nostra for fixing my DB. It worked fine for 2 or 3 times but then I get the Error 3 again and if won't load the DB... (I have checked to see if 2 instances were running but they weren't... I even rebooted just to be sure)... The -portable.bat works fine and I can open my db through there, but it resets my settings.
I need some help !
thanks !!!
nostra:
So there are 3 known situations leading to this error message:
1. the database is corrupt
2. you are trying to open multiple instances of PVD with the same database (local)
3. you have created the database under a different user account and the one you are using now has no permission to use the database
P.S. I'll improve handling situation number 3 in the next version.
