I actually found that %TEMP% took me to the wrong location.

If you are running Win7, the easiest thing to do is just to search for mpextended, then remove any sub directories called imagecache for each of your search results.

Mine was in C:\windows\temp, C:\users\default\local settings\temp, and I think one other place. That did fix it for me.

You Sir, are a genious. That fixed it for me.

Diebagger: It might be an idea if possible, to have ampdroid clear the image cache on exit maybe, to prevent this issue again??

That kind of defeats the whole idea of having a cache in the first place. A better solution would be to fix the bug that results in wrong images in the cache. I think this might be related to a bug in an earlier MPExtended version, which populated the cache with wrong images.

There is a feature/issue for MPExtended where you can clear the cache through a button on the admin interface, which would make issues like this a lot easier to manage.

It shows as closed so I am not sure if it is going into the next release, or what the status is.

Hey DieBagger I had an interesting idea that I wanted to run past you.

I'm not sure what method ampdroid uses to stream videos from MP->Android tablet, but does it use the DLNA / uPnP protocol???

If so then ampdroid with very little modification could be used to allow people to use a WDTV hub (and other DLNA devices) as a media extender for mediaportal. Basically from my windows PC I can right click on a video file and choose to play on the WDTV using DLNA/uPnP. If so then I could just browse my media library within ampdroid while sitting in front of my TV with WDTV connected, and then choose a movie/tv series/tv recording and click play on XBMC as a 3rd option (in addition to play on MP / play on tablet).

In addition to WDTV a lot of TVs now have inbuilt DLNA/uPnP so with ampdroid you could use any new TV as a mediaextender for MP.

Even if Ampdroid didn't use uPnP/DLNA to get video files from HTPC(MP) -> Android Device, then I'm sure it wouldn't require much to add uPnP support to MP (it's integrated into Win7 already, you just have to send a command to stream the video file to the target device) You don't have to worry about creating a uPnP library as the library can be browsed on the android device. You just need to add the function to tell windows to stream XXXXX video file to XXXXX uPnP/DLNA device.

EDIT: This is a sample script to play a local video file on a WDTV

Yeah, it has been added to the next release.

I don't see this getting implemented anytime soon unless someone steps up to do the implementation. It'd be nice though.

solution is to de-install the default eksternal videoplayer, then you can choose new player (mine was MX player)

Edit: Misspoke. Android OS consuming battery.

I still have the problem with my music only showing up in the shares-->music section, and the album and artist view showing old data that I posted a couple pages back.

No need to uninstall.
Open settings->Applications, then choose the video player you have as standard an scroll down till you see clear standard or what it says. Then you should be able to choose new standard the next time.
