Lots of problems with 8.10

First of all I'd like to appreciate work done on this, because I like it very much. But unfortunately I am experiencing a lots of trouble with it.

1) video - I have absolutely no idea how make it scan my video sources. How to make it remember what content type movies are (every tyme I fill the form and choose OK, it forget it all right after)

2) it doesn't search the IMDB for file information, even I had set the network up.

3) photos - it doesn't create thumbnails and in all views I see just those grey squares, or directory icons.

4) audio - the same problem as in video

5) view types - it really doesn't remember any view I choose

Nontheless it plays all files I have, pictures rotate due to exif and visual performance is just perfect. Just these fatal things makes me a little disappointed.

I've read the online manual like thousand times and tryed everything I thought it might help, but no result. Can somebody help me. Please?

Thanks a lot.

I found out that whan I remove -p from the lunch command of the xbmc, it is all working. What does the parameter do?

thx

A debug log would help us finding the issue.
Do you have a windows user name with a special character by chance?

I use Admin windows profile. But there is no such directory as AppData in my Documents and Settings. Might that be a problem? I have Application Data and localized directory in my native language. And in that (localized) directory exists the XBMC directory. And native version of Aplication Data contains one special character.

And I had reinstall the XBMC this morning so I've lost the debug log . But now it works fine

Application Data is correct, at least for XP (no idea in Vista).
Corrected the XP part.

Thanks Sho.

XBMC retrieves the user profile path from windows. If there's an special character inside we can't write with any function since we still have some flaws there. Using the installation directory userdir doesn't work in Vista when not logged on as admin.

OK. I'm running on WXP, so I can use the installation directory, right? I'll try to solve this issue on my side.

Nonetheless thanks a lot for help.

Is there some solution for this?

I am using WinXP Czech version => I have problem with international char and XBMC is now working well (video library is not working etc).

Only a workaround. Remove the -p from the xbmc shortcut. XBMC will store then everything in it's installation directory. That will only work if you
a) are admin on Vista (XP should be fine)
b) have no special character in your installation directory
