mvCentral - Music Videos Plugin (Stable) (2 Viewers)

[trevor]

Hi Trevor

I have my music videos on a shared folder on my HTPC and have mvCentral installed on the HTPC and a client. Recently I added around 10 music videos, ran the plugin on my client and everything went fine but when I run it on my HTPC I can't get past the point where it says "waiting for artist approval" (all artists were automatically correct on my client) PLUS there is no option to select Artists anyway because the drop down menus are all blank Should I just delete the database on the HTPC and try again?

Cheers

Hi Bleazle,

Are all the importer setting the same? Are you using a shared DB or seperate on server and client?

If a shared DB is pasth to videos identical

I have not tried this but in my setup the server has a local E: and videos are in the folder E:\MusicVids, the client maps the drive on the server as E: so the path is the same.

The log may help me see what is going on.

Thanks

I don't want to spam this thread but I wanted to thank you for the work you've done. You had PM'ed me a dev build when I was facing some issues (last year, loong time back) and your solution worked out great. But I just got so busy that I never returned any feedback. My sincerest apologies to the community for the hit & run. Thanks again for your work.

Just recently, I decided to give this plugin another try, now that I've given up on external players AND found a way to split my 100+music MKV's into chapters with little effort. The program is called MKVChaps, which can downloaded here: http://www.mediafire.com/?7l85net8dddle84 It's amazingly simple to use.

However, I'm still having trouble with the parsing expressions. My folder structure is \My Videos\artist - album\chapter.mkv The chapters have a generic name such as Chapter-001.mkv, but can easily be renamed. Not sure what would be best way to name chapters. Also, I've tried various parsing expressions without success. Any ideas? I'm using latest version of mvCentral.

Hi Piccirlli,

This should be possible, you will need to rename the chapters as a valid track name.

Using this expression

(?<artist>[^\\]+)-(?<album>[^\\]+)\\(?:\d+\s+)?(?<track>[^\\]+)\.(?<ext>[^\r]+)$

and this layout

E:\My Videos\Katy Perry - Teenage Dream\Firework.mkv

with the expressions set up as the attached screen shot should work.

The expression may need to fine tuning but should ok to try out with, let me know of any problems/issues.

Thanks

Trevor,
Unfortunately no love with modified expression. Here's some screen shots of what I'm getting.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi piccirilli,

Odd as I tested this with your layout.

There is a newer set of pasrsing expressions, do a reset on the parsing expressions screen to load the lastest and then add the new one and try again.

If still having problems can you also attach the mvCentral.log (debug enabled) so I can see what is happening.

Thanks

Trevor,
I must be doing something wrong. Followed your advice above, and still not recognizing folders. See Log file.
Just a note, only 3 videos were broken down and renamed into corresponding chapters for testing purpose: Allison Krauss - Live 2003, B.B. King - Night of Blistering Blues, and Santana - Supernatural. I include screenshots of file structure for Allison Krauss. This is typical file structure. The other 90 or so MKV's whose chapters were not broken down, I do not expect to be recognized.
Thanks for all the help.
Tom

Hi,

I will test with your layout but can please rerun but enable debug logging in mediaportal configuration first and send me that log.

thanks
