1.0b7.5 will not upgrade Metadata

[kadeschs]

I've tried to upgrade Sapphire from 1.0b6.5 (717) to 1.0b7.5 (927) on AppleTV 2.3.1 via the Software Menu. After upgrading and restarting finder, I get a "Upgrade Metadata" menu item. Selecting that always causes "an error occurred" message and restarts Finder. I've downgraded back to version 1.0b6.5 and everything works fine again. Does this software work under AppleTV version 2.3.1? The ONLY reason I'm still using 2.3.1 is that Sapphire crashes AppleTV 2.4 too much.

Same problem here, exact same problem. I upgrade thru Software Menu and the update seems to look OK. Then Upgrade Metadata option on Sapphire menu is clicked and I get yellow yield triangle with exclamation point and words "an error occurred, press play pause to restart", Upon restart Sapphire menu still shows Upgrade Metadata and if clicked error recurs. Restore to 6.5 backup and all is fine.

[gbooker]

The "an error occurred" is not a crash, it is throwing an exception, which should be logged in the console. Step 3 explicitly asks to check the console for this very reason.

pat4040, your report is not helpful as it includes no new information.

[kadeschs]

"tail /Library/Logs/Console/501/console.log" returns nothing concerning Sapphire. Only that rowmote started on the second try. No references to Sapphire.

[gbooker]

Without the log information, there's nothing we can do.

BTW, your crash log is with the 6.x series of Sapphire, not 7. !reloadDirectoryContents is no longer called using a timer.

[kadeschs]

Yeah, it looked like all 6.x series stuff. Sapphire 6 hadn't played well on ATV 2.3.1 since I downgraded from ATV 2.4. However, since I've downgraded from 7, it appears 6.x now works well once again. I'll see if I can get some kind of information with 7. So far I haven't been able to really find anything concerning the problem.

Trash ATVFiles. Both it and Sapphire use the same framework but ATVFiles is not using the later version.
