mvCentral Music Videos Plugin

I am pleased to announce the next release of mvCental for MediaPortal 1.2.

This is a major update to the previous release, there are new Metadata providers AllMusic.com and HTBackdrops and major reworking of the parsing code.

One of the side effects is that the the setting 'Ignore folder structure when parsing' has been swapped - please ensure you run configuration first as this will prompt you for the correct setting based on your folder layout.

You you also install with the MediaPortal Extenstion Installer​

Change Log

mvCentral v1.0.0.269

Enhancment as per issue 28

There is now an right click option on the track 'Create Album For Track', this will allow you to look up the album on last.fm and assign this track to that album.

Fixed issue where artist/album & video counts were not reset when re-entering config

V1.0.1.281

Added Drag and Drop of images into config. This can either be images off disk or images dragged from a
web browser ie. google image search (note. can only drag in the actual inage not the indoex image)
Note: Still a load of checks to add to drag and drop to code, currently does not care too much about the file being an image :)

Only allow background details update scan to happen once, can be overridden in advanced settings by
setting "Always scan for provider updates in background" to True. Doing this will cause the plugin to try and
update misisng data constantly..not recomended. A manual 'Get Info' will function as normal.
