[QUOTE="bounguine, post: 310770, member: 16098"] Haven’t yet test full-structured DVDs copied to HDD. But with the extensions like *.mpeg, *.avi, etc listed your plugin I found this: 1) No scanning of files with capital letters used in extensions (*.AVI, etc); 2) No *.asf extension > no files scanned (it’s better for a user to distinguish the extensions he has like in MyVideos); 3) Info retrieved is only in English although you can choose you language on Last.fm page (it’s funny to read info about Russian groups in English – the same is “Дэвид Боуи – известный музыкант…” for you – try to understand that it’s about David Bowie), as a result, I miss tags for Russian groups; 4) Many thumbs of songs are missing (thumbs for the artist although are retrieved); 5) No scanning of pictures with the mask like “folder.*” from HDD; 6) Pressing “update artist info…” causes an exception; 7) If you change dbManager window size, you see that fields are still on the place they’ve been before it and the whole window becomes a mess. And there’s still one feature I still waiting for. Stop adding artists into DB only after Last.fm scanning. Change it to scanning files names. I can live with playing files I have without any thumbs, but it’s really a torture to watch only what Last.fm can recognize. Can you agree that the main purpose is to play all files from HDD. So, as it’s not implemented up to now: 1) I was asked to put a name for “Bjork”, as it was not found on Last.fm; I did but no luck; still missing her songs; 2) I was not asked to put any new name (scanning was in the background), but I miss “Bouncing Souls”, “Kid Rock”, “KMFDM”, “Kittie”, etc; 3) As there’s no chance to put a mask for scanning files, “Beastie Boys - 2 dollar bill - 09 - Skills To Pay The Bills.mpg”, “Beastie Boys - 2 dollar bill - 02 - Root Down.mpg” and “Beastie Boys - 2 dollar bill - 03 - Right Right Now Now.mpg” all turned to “Beastie Boys - 2 dollar bill” in DB (I’d love to put a mask “artist(space)–(space)song” for it); 4) The plugin has no masks for scanning and as a result it doesn’t see “space”; that is why “Beastie Boys - Ch-check It Out.mpg” turned to “Beastie Boys – Ch” and the artist in “Fermin Muguruza & Afro-Basque Fire Brigade - Sarri SArri (Vina Rock 2007).avi” turned to ““Fermin Muguruza & Afro-“; 5) Last.fm doesn’t always know “double” artists like “La Phaze & Mouss & Hakim”, so I had to put a new name “La Phaze”, which it knows, to have these artists in DB, but in DB window I can’t change it back to a true name. As a result, I miss ½ of my videos. Agree that’s a bad result. And yet full concerts from copied DVDs are not scanned. Best regards [/QUOTE]
