Don't really think this is a bug but I'm unable to open 2.233 since today. I copied a bunch of new movies and tv shows in all just standard names nut now whenever I try to launch media companion I get an unhandled exception due to illegal characters in path.
I've not added any new directories and added maybe around 20-30 tv shows and episodes in existing folders all english names in format "movie(year).mkv" or "show - sxxexx - episode.mkv". My library is around 1900 movies 6000 episodes and all working fine until today but issue persists continually.
I can'tfind details in the error of where the error is encountered and if I choose to continue it stays sat on the splash screen at loading TV Library. Any idea how I can get round this?
the full error details are: ************** Exception Text ************** System.ArgumentException: Illegal characters in path. at System.IO.Path.CheckInvalidPathChars(String path) at System.IO.Path.GetFileName(String path) at Media_Companion.Form1.quickloadtv() at Media_Companion.Form1.rebuild() at Media_Companion.Form1.Form1_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e) at System.EventHandler.Invoke(Object sender, EventArgs e) at System.Windows.Forms.Form.OnLoad(EventArgs e) at System.Windows.Forms.Form.OnCreateControl() at System.Windows.Forms.Control.CreateControl(Boolean fIgnoreVisible) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.CreateControl() at System.Windows.Forms.Control.WmShowWindow(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.ScrollableControl.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.ContainerControl.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.Form.WmShowWindow(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.Form.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.ControlNativeWindow.OnMessage(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.ControlNativeWindow.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow.Callback(IntPtr hWnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wparam, IntPtr lparam)
I'm not sure what is causing this issue, either way it should be fixed from the next version,
I am also adding the option to allow users to disable the startup cache. This will slow down the startup of the program, but for some it will increase stability.
