Hi all.
I've got 2 MD's (+ core). One MD is in room "Home Theatre (HT)" and the other "Playroom (PR)".
HT is running UI2+alpha while PR is UI2.
I created two separate floorplans (HT & PR) and added them on core via webadmin to floorplans/media.
On both MD's when I tried to switch between floorplans (for simultaneous play) I can only view one floorplan.
(I'm not sure if was the first or second one entered.)
One floorplan is layered on top of the other.
The second layered (covered) floorplan will flash for a second when selected via media floorplan screen.
So I figured image layering was a problem using UI2.
I then created a single floorplan with two entertainment rooms.
I deleted the other two floorplans via webadmin.
I added this single floorplan via webadmin to floorplans/media.
I placed both Pluto MD's on the floorplan.
Core & MD's have been reloaded.
The core webadmin page shows the single floorplan.
Both MD's memu media/floorplan still show the "deleted" layered floorplans.
The /home/pluto/floorplans/inst76976 directory on the core has only 1.png file listed.
When opened and viewed it is the newer floorplan.
When I reboot my MD's I'll receive the message "There are some devices on this media director that did not correctly start blah, blah" etc.
I'm told that "You have recently changed scenarios, floorplans or other settings. I need to regenerate the graphical screens etc."
If I agree to reload the orbiter I get into a loop.
I just keep on getting device on media director did not start correctly and need to regenerate messages.
I went back via webadmin and deleted the one existing .png floorplan and reloaded the core and MD's.
I'm still in the loop.
On the Core I double checked the /home/pluto/floorplans/inst76976 directory. No floorplan.
On the MD I ran the video/audio setup and changed my UI2 alpha setting to UI1 and restarted.
Bad move. I now receive the following...
"The resolution has changed. I'll regenerate the user interface."
Followed by ...
"The UI is being regenerated. This will take between 15-30 minutes. If you get this same message again after the regeneration is finished, then that means the gernerator on the Core"
These two messages keep looping.
I shut down the MD that I changed, went to the core, deleted the latest xorg.conf and copied in the backup.
I restarted the MD.
Same loop.
I restarted the Core. When it had rebooted I restarted the modified MD (original xorg.conf).
I'm in the same regen loop. Both messages, the launch manager screen, both messages, launch manager, etc.
I let this run for a hour.
All floorplans were created around 1200 x 1200. Nothing larger.
I see basically two issues with floorplans - one being the layering effect and the second being the MD not reflecting the updated drawing change.
Getting stuck in this regen loop is something else.
Before I delete my MD's and re-add them any suggestions?
I have tried reloading the router, regen all orbiters on the Core and rebooting all systems.
