Will mvCentral support flv files? Music Videos used to but doesn't now, which seems strange to me - or am I the only one populating my music vids database from YouTube?... :mad:

it will and does, provided youn have the right codecs installed and .flv is know extension in configuration->Videos

@Bleazel - Most of my music vids are .flv and all is working fine. Yes it has to be added to extensions, but as u have said, it is listed there. can u get .flv to play in the "Videos" section of MP? If not then it has to be a codec or MP Config problem. FFDSHOW seems to work well.

UPDATE: After spending HOURS wrestling with codecs on my test set up I gave up and decided to go and have a look at my HTPC (running W7). My HTPC can and does play .flv files through MyVideos without a problem but just like my test setup entering ".flv" in the known extensions of Musc Videos doesn't "stick" and I don't get any results for FLV files :rolleyes:

I have the software to convert files but that's a pain in the butt plus inevitably the output file size is far bigger than the flv file is and usually the quality is worse - it would be great if flv support "worked out of the box" especially since I can watch flv files in MyVideos. (Note: My HTPC is running MP 1.1.2 (I think - not 1.2 anyway)) - why isn't ".flv" included in the recognised extensions list by default?

If there are any logs or further info I can post to see why this isn't working let me know and I'll get them for you :)

Cheers

    I think it is all coming back to me now... I think I had the same problem and fixed by manually entering it in the database... Yes.. I think there is a post I made about it.... will update more info in a bit...

    Edit: Okay here is the link I posted a while back...

    https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/...c-videos-v0-41-a-68337-post685437/#post685437

    just download SQLite Expert Personal 3 and open the mvids.db3 file and goto extensions, and just add .flv

    it aint sexy, but it works, ENJOY!!!

    Haha, I don't care about sexy, just want it to work :D :D

    I'll give it a go tonight and let you know how I get on. I'll have to try it out on one of my "live" setups because I can't get my test setup to play FLV files in MP :mad: (due to it being a Vista piece of...?))

    Crix, from what I have been told.... look for the new plugin in a week. MVCentral will be the name of it.

    Cancel that, now the plugin will load but once I start scanning it will crash

    ----
    I've just installed the fixed version (first time using this plug in) and get the error:

    Failed to locate assembly"Common.Utlis, Version=1.1.6.27644 Culture=neutral, PublicToken=null"
    Note that the configuration program must be executed from/reside in the MediaPortal Folder, the execution will now end.

    I put the dll file in:
    MediaPortal\plugins\Windows

    What am I doing wrong here :confused:

    Using MP 1.1.3

    Nano: Try making an empty database file for it, and put it int he database directory. mvids.db3 should be the name of the file. Just create a txt file and name it as such. This helped me a while back whenever it crashed from scanning for the first time.
