Excellent! I have over 1300 Music video clips and about 1500 more stored on dvd's, My files where getting way out of hand with folders taking an age to open, can't wait to have this fully implemented on my HTPC.
I had a crack at installing it and loading the database, the "&" character in file names returns strange results, usually no where near the file name, mostly artist/songs with numbers in their name, when it is scanning file names it has two information panels pop up to try another artists name, you can't edit the first till you edit the second, looked like it was making two database entries.
I am still using MP rc1 and the plugin won't load in MP with Blue2 (I use Blue2wide usually), it just locks up.
My HTPC is getting very close to a clean out and a fresh install made so these problems may or may not have anything to do with the plugin.
thanks for all the work you guys are putting in, I appreciate it
I don't Download many as they're hard to find with good quality and without some scene release groups adds on them (very annoying when you've got your stereo cranked).
We mainly record a few hours off a music chan and cut the songs we want.
if you find a good source of clean music videos can you share with us please

I prefer mp3 to videos.
Anyway I have a lot of them.
I buy video discs mainly in Saint-Petersburg or Barcelona.
Or browse p2p networks.
PS
I don't know your taste.
You may send me an e-mail.
PS/2
There's a great upload service especially for movies:
http://narod.yandex.ru/
Just register pressing "Делитесь файлами" and you'll be able to upload files up to 5 Gb each.
If you wish, I'll upload mine.
Just write me to e-mail

Ahh, ok. I hadn't tried that. I will look into it.
From the look of your log, it looks like the scan isn't even completing. When you see those filenames fly by, it's just adding them to the "update queue" to be added. Is it saying the scan is complete?
Sorry for that stupid question, but where do you have all the music vids?
I like music vids very much, but i have only concert dvd's ?!?
I guess this might just be an American thing, but we have many channels that play music videos 24/7. I just record blocks of them and then cut out any that I want. It really doesn't take very long to do it this way if you use something like VideoReDo to cut them and AutoGK to compress them. That's how I do it and, like MadMagpie said, it guarantees no annoying overlays or watermarks.
I just started getting them since I now have a way to actually catalog and play them.
It sounds like you've hit the refresh database button twice. That was something I meant to fix before releasing this as I've accidentally hit it twice on numerous occassions. Basically, it's starting two seperate threads that are then racing each other. I would clear the database and try again. Thanks for the hint on the & char, I'll look into that.
I took this from the console:

OK, yeah, the scan isn't actually completing. I was looking through the code last night and managed to reproduce this problem. It's a lack of exception handling so when it hits a filename that trips it up, it ends the scan prematurely. I've fixed it I believe, but I don't currently have a build that works as I'm in the middle of changing things. What I would recommend is either waiting for the next build I post (tonight or tomorrow) or look to see if you by chance have files without extensions in that folder. It's probably going to be the next file after "Flogging Molly - What's left of the glag.mpg". Can you look and see what the next filename would be alphabetically?
These problems were expected, but they can and will be fixed. It's very hard for me to know what kind of file/folder structure everyone has and deal with foreign language characters, etc. So, I really appreciate your help and patience on this.

The next file is \\Anton-bung\Клипы\Foo Fighters\Foo Fighters - Big Me.mkv
I did look through the whole share and didn't find any files without extention or with a "wrong" extention.
I rescanned the share and got almost the same result:
...
20:15:44: \\Anton-bung\Клипы\Kings Of Leon\Kings Of Leon - Unknown Song.mpg added to update queue.
20:15:44: Scan Completed
Now it stoppped with Kings Of Leon.
The next musian (subfolder as an artist name, file named as artist - song.*) in the share is Kittie.
Probably the cause of trouble is Russian names.
Although there're a lot of unscanned English names between Kings Of Leon and first Russian name

Alright, what I've done is just have it ignore any files that give it problems and then show the list after the scan. That way we can track down what exactly it is that's causing the problem and get it fixed.
