Hello,

I have just installed this plugin -- seems pretty great :)

couple of questions;

When I try and add an artist for example "Weird Al" Yankovic I get an unhandled exception error (im guessing because the name has ""s in it?) -- can this be fixed?

Also, (not sure if this is the correct place to ask) but in this plugin's page on the StreamedMP skin the text along the top appears scrambled -- where should I look to fix this?

I have attached the image below to help clarify both problems



Thanks for the great work on this pluggin -- it works really nicely :)

I can't get this to work with the newest 1.1.
It reads the database, but when it tries to download thumbnails it just crashes out.
Any help?

EDIT: haha just kidding, forgot about ffmpeg :)

awesome plugin

    first, great plugin.
    When I'm on an artists, the background is blackened, is there an option to let me choose the background or like my tvseries does finds a background image by its own

    You'll need to use a skin that supports the Fanart Handler plugin or modify the XML file of your favourite skin to support the plugin. Then if you have fanart for an artist which is in your Music collection you'll get fanart for that artist in the MusicVids secreen, or a default background image depending on the skin or the modifications you make to the XML file.

    BleazleWide and a number of other skins support this already - check this thread out for more info/skins that support the Fanart Handler plugin: https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/mediaportal-plugins-47/fanart-handler-plugin-v1-9-music-fanart-scraper-76535/.

    Hope that helps

    Great plugin and is all working a treat.

    Just couple things I would like to see implemented and I know one of them has been mentioned a good few times I'm sure

    1. Sub folder scanning

    2. The ability to change artist image and not have them overwritten on a new scan.

    This was possible in mVids 0.2 but not in this version of the plugin

    If I change the artist images manually in the folder it works but they get overwritten when rescanning if the given artist has had new files added to the database.

    Last.fm has very poor images for many artists.

    Thanks

    Hi
    I read all the postings in here, but didnt find an 100% answer for my requirements...

    First of all, sorry for my bad english :(

    I would like to build a music-video jukebox for partys and i am searching for a software to use. So i checked out mediaportal and found this thread...

    The main, and Must have, features, would be

    1. Search videos, queue videos, select videos on one screen (notebook, touchscreen, whatever), and PLAY the videos on another screen (via beamer, big tv,...)
    2. so searching and selecting and queuing videos does not affect the videos currently displayed.
    3. On the main screen (where the videos are displayed) no controls will be displayed - video only.


    Is this possible using mediaportal and this plugin ?

    Thanks for your help
    Tahooma

    1. Sub folder scanning

    It already has support for a form of sub folder scanning, see pic under watch folders.

    Ok, I installed the plugin and testet it.
    It works fine for what I am trying to do, playing videos on an external player.
    Now if I add videos to a playlist the playlist does not seem to work.
    When playing the playlist the first song is starting, but when its finished, nothing more happens.

    Is there maybe a communication problem wih the external player ? (divX Player).
    Is it possible to do somethin like a fulltext search for artists and songs ?

    Thanks
