MyProgramsAlt - A replacement for the old (official) one - not finished (2 Viewers)

[Kingmob]

Just a small 'bug' report. I've been using this alpha for a while now and it works great for my games (Snes, amiga, scummVM and pc-games). However, i have a 16:9 tv and my nvidia driver does not allow me to select a 16:9 resolution. PC-games usually do though, so i play them in this resolution (and use anamorphic settings in mediaportal itself).
But if i exit the game, mediaportal will be resized horizontally, probably because of the new resolution. It will only be fixed if i play and exit a video, then it'll reset correctly.
I added the whole 16:9 bit, because i'm not sure if it is a resolution problem, or a problem with the anamorphic settings.

Greetings everyone!

I installed MyPrograms Alt today..

I then decided to skip MAME since I will not use it to emulate consoles. So I only followed the installation part for PC games.

I then installed a game and I even used the internet search function to get data added to the game.

Then I enabled the plugin.

When I start MP and go into myprogram alt then I see a folder with the name of my game BUT I don't see any thumbnails or game info at all. If I click on the folder then the game starts directly.

I think something isn't as it should. I expect the gameinfo and thumbs to show up.

Anyone able to tell me what I have done wrong?

Hi.

I am unable to get this plugin to run with MP RC3. Configuration is fine, but when I enter the MyPrograms screen in MP it just freezes. Can't get forth or back, just kill MP via taskmanager.

This happens with all skins I have, so it may not be a skin issue.

Any suggestions? Maybe someone can re-compile the plugin against the latest MP sources?

same problem - fullblooded crash with RC3

Im just using it to start IE, Firefox and WinUAE - are we really the only ones using the MyPrograms???
Is there another way to launch external programs - another plugin??

besides the above RC3 rules

Hello again,

I am using it to launch the KMPlayer for .ratDVD compressed videos. I dont know if there is another easy way to do it in RC3, any idea?

Thank you very much ;-)

Hi, I read through the logs and it looks like you installed the Original plugin and not this one. Look in post 38 for the download link to MyPrograms Alt.

I installed Vista and MP RC3 on a new harddrive to see if there is a problem for me with the plugin (Didn't want to mess up my working RC2 install)

I copied my old database and everything is working for me. I tried with Blue2wide and Blue3 skin.

Please post your logs so I can try to help you.
