| | Posted: | | | | Hello, I hope you guys can help me. A couple of months ago my PC crashed and fortunately I had a database backup on my USB stick. I restored my database succesfully, however, at least 80% of the images (covers) are gone. Not a major problem, but it's annoying. How do I get them back?
One other thing btw. I used to add my name when I saw a movie for the last time, but when I go to the Watched by screen I still can click on my name but it doesnt show in the list. How come?
Thanks! |

First go to "Tools -> Edit Users..." and make sure that 'Watches DVDs' is set an that the age range is correct. (Don't know if this influences the display of older events, but can't hurt to look) If this doesn't solve it: make a backup and then do a database repair.
