Dwizzo.
Can you confirm your layout and parsing expression?
It should start in fullscreen. We have issues sometimes with it not, but appears only on some videos.

Everything is default...
My directory layout is such:
\\COMPUTERNAME\Drive\Media\Videos\
In that dir, I have 50% of my vids... Then I have the following:
\\COMPUTERNAME\Drive\Media\Videos\New
\\COMPUTERNAME\Drive\Media\Videos\Video Mixes\Summer Mix 2005
\\COMPUTERNAME\Drive\Media\Videos\Video Mixes\Summer Mix 2006
\\COMPUTERNAME\Drive\Media\Videos\Video Mixes\Summer Mix 2007
In those directories, are the other 50% of my videos...

The plugin will only look in sub folders if you tell it to by having subfolders in your parsing expression.
In your case, I would add the main folder as a watch folder. And for each depth you want to search in add a new parsing expression.
this will be your watch folder: \\COMPUTERNAME\Drive\Media\Videos
and the parsing expressions youll need are... %artist% - %title%.%ext% << For anything in that main folder
\\COMPUTERNAME\Drive\Media\Videos\New %album%\%artist% - %title%.%ext% << for one folder deep
\\COMPUTERNAME\Drive\Media\Videos\Video Mixes\Summer Mix 2005 %album%\%album%\%artist% - %title%.%ext% << this will work for 2006 2007 as well (two folders deep)
This will work as the album tag does nothing yet, but works well as a filler to get the plugin to look one dir structure deeper

Used the 'joz' dll and had MP config crash after scanning first artist. Deleted the database and started again and everything scanned fine except for one file which caused MP configuration to crash. I thought it might be due to there being a '!' in the artist name in the filename, but removing it caused the same thing to happen.
I'm thinking it might be because it is unable to find the artist (Zlad) where it is searching for the artist? If I remove the file, everything is okay.
What happens if an artist can't be found?
Cheers.
Edit: Okay, maybe the theory about not finding the artist isn't correct, as doing a search on last.fm does return a result. But the only issue I'm having is with this one file.

That seems very strange...
Can you tell me what the filename is. Ill see if i can reproduce. Do you have only the one video from that artist? My initial thoughts are that its something to do with downloading the artist image... But if it is it should fail more elegantly than that...

Filename was originally Zlad! - Elektronik Supersonik.mpg
Tried renaming to Zlad - Elektronik Supersonik.mpg and still crashed.
Yes, I only have one file from that artist, but I have plenty of other artists I only have one clip for as well.
I tried renaming to Zlada - Elektronik Supersonik.mpg and it came up with no matches for the artist so I could only enter something for it to search again. When I entered Zlad in the box and clicked search, MP config crashed.
Cheers.
Thanks for your answer.
I can't play a mkv file that starts in fullscreen using mvids.
Thanks

Whatisk, the problem lies with last.fm
Here is where I get the search results for Zlad, http://ws.audioscrobbler.com/2.0/?m...lad!&api_key=166f3084d3dc07f015c42c497b42d12b
There is an error on the xml that last.fm is returning.... Unless they fix this your out of luck.
As an aside.... I was just using the plugin at home and used my remote to skip forward a track and its now working.
If anyone else can verify that for me, would be fantastic.

I'm not sure what I'm looking at in the link, but thanks for checking it out.
Are there furture plans to be able to manually import a file or anything like that so that I can get it added to the DB? I don't know what the chances of last.fm fixing whatever the issue is.
Thanks.
