MySlideShows - Version 0.3

Summary: My Slideshows is a plugin that uses the Microsoft PIA�s to display your PowerPoint
presentations and automates viewing them. Basically this means that you can select
your PowerPoint presentation in a list, view details of it and start it from your
Media Portal.

Notes:
* You need to have a slideshow viewer installed to view the slideshows.
Current options are Office 2003 or Microsoft PowerPoint Viewer 2003. See installation instructions.
* See installation instructions in the MySlideShows Readme.pdf file

Download:
* Binary: http://www.gentians.be/MySlideShows.zip
* Source Code (C#): http://www.gentians.be/MySlideShows_Source.zip

Screenshots:



Version 0.3
* Added support for shares
* Created the PowerPoint Tag Editor

Version 0.2.1
* Slideshow details are viewed even when PowerPoint 2003 is not installed on the system.
* Slideshow details are shown a lot faster.
* You can chose which Viewer you want to use. Currently only Office 2003 and PowerPoint Viewer 2003 (free) are supported. OpenOffice is for version 0.3.
* If a media file is playing, it gets paused while the presentation is playing.
* Fixed a bug that prevented the slideshow browser from scrolling
* Fixed a bug: the wrong office.dll and
* Fixed a bug: when a music file is playing for example the little screen overlaps the launch button.

Italic is new in v. 0.2.1

Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint.dll were included in 0.1

    View thumbnails? Do you mean like an image of the first slide that appears in the info section?

    Thanks for looking at it.

    Normally, you should have the MySlideShows.dll in your plugins/windows directory.
    The office.dll and Interop.PowerPoint.dll go into your MediaPortal dir.
    You have to enable it in the configuration (MediaPortal > Configure) and also make sure you have checked the home checkbox for MySlideShows.
    Are there errors in one of the logs?

    I've fixed that bug. I've also updated the binary zip and source zip (see 1st post).

    I can't reproduce that. But in the new version I've made it so that every time it opens a PPT/PPS it logs it in the MediaPortal.log. So check if it mentions it like 'PowerPoint "<the filepath>" loaded'.

    i think

    I think its a Myslideshowinfo.xml problem, since i cant go to that page after i click on a pps/ppt file.

    I click a file and i see on top MP window (blue top window) saying "Home", its like i click to enter on a file to that page but it exits back to myslideshows.xml like if i have pressed ESC.

    Like i said no 'PowerPoint "<the filepath>" in MP log.
