My Music Videos - V0.41 (3 Viewers)

[metalla_nz]

Here you go The Logo is just a"moded" B3W Music logo - maybe there's a proper "Music Vids" logo for B3W that you can use?

Thank you kind sir. Will place this in the package.

One question for the developer: when imposting songs memory usage shoots up drastically. Is it possible to limit it, so that the paging file will not be used at least...

It is the thumbnails. I could possbily limit it, but that would slow the process down, which is why I decided not to. As a tip, if you use a lesser thumbnail time (say 5 seconds), it takes ffmpeg significantly less time to grab a thumbnail as it doesnt have to go through more of the file to build up the thumbnail. I find at five seconds i only ever have about 8-9 ffmpegs running at the same time, so mem usage stays reasonably low. IT also depends on your cpu, as to how long it takes ffmpeg to run through the video. So if you have a high thumbnail time, try reducing. IF many people are having issues, ill look at it. If you want to throw it on the issue list at google code site (see front page), and if anyone else wants it, please star it so I can see.

WINDOWS 7:

I have no win7 machine to test on, so I cant see what the issue might be. If anyone using/having issues on win7 can send me a MusicVids.log, error.log, and possible MediaPortal.log, and the error message win gives you, with the details of the stack trace (bottom of error window), I can try and track down the issue, And I would appreciate one of you (at least) being able to test any possible fix to track down the error.

the problem is not windows 7 but mp 1.1 beta
i can install the mpi just fine but when i start mp config and goto plugins it says it cannot start the plugins section because the my music videos plugin is not compatible

It works fine for me on 1.1 beta on XP

Sorry to stuff you around, but use this file, not the one posted above - I've fixed the "favourite video title" on the slide in menu - it was sliding off the screen after the rest of the menu (forgot to fix that earlier). Plus I thought you might want the "fanart" showing in the B3W skin when you open up an artists folder. If you don't think it should be used in B3W delete the following:

<control>
<description>Fan Art</description>
<type>image</type>
<id>1</id>
<posX>0</posX>
<posY>0</posY>
<width>1280</width>
<height>720</height>
<texture>#MusicVids.ArtistImg</texture>
<colordiffuse>10ffffff</colordiffuse>
<visible>control.isvisible(99)</visible>
<animation effect="fade" time="500" delay="500">WindowOpen</animation>
<animation effect="fade" time="500">WindowClose</animation>
</control>

Well it seems to be working on my HTPC (Windows 7 x86 RTM) now after removing Music Videos.dll, Nlog.dll, removed all log files (not sure if it was necessary), deleted the Music Videos thumbs folder, MusicVids.xml and mvids.xml in my StreamedMP folder, and the MusicVids.db3. Some stuff was in the Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal and others were in the %programdata% folder. I'm not going to bother getting the full paths names for each file since they're easy enough to find.

The same here with WinXP

I would reccomend anyone having issues deletes there DB, and re-scans from the beggining. If there are still issues let me know.

If you just cant bear to delete your DB, I will try and push out a DB update script-fix tomorrow at some point.

 

[igor_uk]

to be honest i think everyone can find time to update the database, please concentrate on new features instead!

 

[onyx666]

i cant access my htpc at the moment but i do not think it is the database because the error was from mediaportal telling that the plugin is not compatible.
i had this error for another plugin which also used an mpi as installation.

it seems normal offcourse because in 1.1 some directories are on other locations then in 1.02 (like the skins folder)

 

[metalla_nz]

The plugin uses the locations defined in MP for the location of DB and thumbs etc. so if it changes in MP it changes in the plugin.

1.1 only has a new location (essentially) for the skins folder. The DB and Thumbs folder are in the same places theyve always been. So this hasnt changed.

Assuming you are saying that MP config says that it is not compatible when you click on the plugins link on the left hand side, it is generally because a crash when the plugin is loading (like when updating the db). I am certain the issue is with the DB update script, so if the DB is deleted it will be re-created, and the update will not be called.

Igor, it seems it will be easier to add the DB uopdate fix than not.

Sorry fix version added new issues, so DL removed. See my post on next page (send me db if you need to and I can fix it).
