@ pannnivas
I have full admin privileges to my servers hard drives.

in mp config under movies i just have the root drive Z:/ selected. within mp this shows up as movies, as is named in config

@ fforde

i'm sorry about the mess of my log, it seems to have picked up the move i made to M:/ and ticking/ unticking the removeable box.

what if you try to scan a movie from your HTPC?

Did you try that? if not give it a try and if it fails then it means the problem is somewhere with your HTPC setup and your network drives.

its the network drive or the amount of movies, i copied 2 movies directly to the c: and:

it worked, but another thing i thought of, could it be the amount, i have 2107 movies...

 

[Paranoid Delusion]

i have 2107 movies

Don't get out much, huh

 

[fairchild]

also i think the movie database is down again... maybe you should use IMDB similar to the way mediaportal does it

BTW these guys offer a great API, For example: http://www.trynt.com/movie-movieweb-api/v1/?t=Dazed and Confused

i have 2107 movies

just a digital packrat with a sweet home theater.....

 

[fforde]

Could be although that would surprise me a little. That is the most I have heard of anyone scanning though. Good information though, I will investigate that...

WOW 2107 movies. That is insane.
I still dont think its the amount of movies but fforde will give a better answer to that.

However there is an easy way to find out.

Copy those 2 movies on another new directory on your fileserver. Map that new drive in the plugin to scan and remove the other one and give it a shoot.
If it fails then it means that there is something wrong with your client-server setup.
If it runs then it means that is time to delete a few

LOL nice one

already ahead of you.... just tried it.. no dice, same issue

just jealous

it has to be something in your code im not seeing, i just made a quick c# app that goes through that directory recursively and adds each file to a hashmap and it worked fine... ill keep looking

 

[fforde]

I just ran a test on a local drive with approximately 2200 dummy files and the importer picked them all up fine. I think I will probably have to create a special DLL that manually dumps all the exception info it gets, then have you guys test with that. I will contact you via PM or email with details later today or tomorrow.

As far as IMDB, yes that is coming in the next release. I have looked at the trynt APIs too, but they are just scraping IMDB as well, and I have seen their API break multiple times. Just not as reliable or flexible as I would like.

.. i have 2107 movies...

LOL
Are you the one who's running iTunes store?

[cyberfix]

All,

I am attaching an updated DLL to test for the latest issues I worked on. Please let me know if there are still issues as I can't test all of the scenarios.

Installation:
Same as previous patch... Make a backup of your "MovingPicture.dll" in your "Plugins\Windows" folder and replace the existing one with this one.

Issues worked on:
Issue 88: Cover art added after clicking cancel
Solution: Now Gets the result of the dialog box and only updates if the user clicked OK

Issue 100: Some HD quality sample files squeeze through sample filter
Solution: Changed the default setting to 150. Will only be 150 on new installs by default. It does not update the old database setting. That can still be configured in the configuration options.

Issue 78: rating stars not working
Solution: If the value is over the maximum of 10.0, it will now be scaled down. Although, this really means that somebody put the wrong value there such as running time. At least it will work if on a different scale were used with a correct value. For example, a 679 will be converted to 6.8 just to it is on the right scale. This is only checked on importing because it would slow down movie scrolling a little to do it on the fly.

Issue 43: After playing a movie, the selected movie is reset on facade
Solution: Added code to make sure the last movie is highlighted after playback has ended. It will also keep the selected view. This needs to be tested and feedback provided. I am not sure that I am doing it the best way as this seems almost like a hack. Either way, this one was very difficult to get anywhere on for some reason.

Issue 74: File names with underscores are not parsed properly
Solution: Now Replaces the underscores with periods like what is done with periods. Not

Testing and feedback are required.

Thanks,
cyberfix
