Can't get any movies to show up in My Films (1 Viewer)

[Freakin]

Trying to get this to work, and finally got to the point that I have a database with a few movies in it and got it set up in My Films, but nothing shows up when I view it in MP.

I attached my config, AMC entry, and myfilms.xml

Please help! This looks a lot more robust than the normal My Videos in MP.

Also, to make sure I should be using it, I'm just going to use a lot of local files that I've ripped on my HDD. I don't need to worry about files from multiple sources or checked out movies (or even normal DVD/VCDs). Is My Films best for me, or should I stick with My Videos?

As you put URL as 'ANT Item for Storage file Info' you must put here the name of your movie filename.
That info seems to be good for the first movie of your xml database ( URL="C:\media\videos\Terminator 3.mkv" ). If you are sure of the movie filename and if you cann't launch the movie try to launch it with standard MyVideos plugin. Sometimes mkv doesn't work with MP. Search on that forum.
For the second movie the URL field is wrong (URL="http://imdb.com/title/tt0379786") and you cann't launch it. Correct that information.
The 'Search Path for File Read' is used to search the movie filename if it cann't be found with the URL info. Put here ''C:\media\videos" as your files seem to be stored in that directory (you can put here several directories separated by a coma).
Your plugin version 3.1 is an old one. There is a new version 4.3.1 in beta test on the french forum for MP 0.2.3 but only with the Blur Two Skin actually. I have to adapt some others skins.

Good luck !

Thanks for the response. I updated the 'URL' for the second file which is a mkv, so I tried adding a third movie which is an AVI. I also updated the search path to the folder my movies are located in (thanks for that too)

I should have clarified that the problem isn't with the movies not playing, but with no films being listed when I view My Films (see attached MP screenshot)

I'm not sure what I could have done wrong, but I really want to get this to work.

This is probably a stupid question, but is the version on the french forum in... french? Can I get a link to it? I only see the dutch forum listed here, and I thought the french forum was mp-fr.com but it's hard for me to navigate as an english-only user =/

I think I'm probably just retarded. I switched skins over to PM3 and now it's working.

I'll post again if I have any more problems

Thanks!

mostly working... multipart files break because I'm guessing the selection is not coded into the skin. I'm on Blue2 now =)
