    I have posted the source codes and binaries for version 0.28a of this plugin here.

    Hi have you any thoughts about OSD in this plugin.
    Because right now its showing nothing. Even when you have the episode in the nativ mp moviedatabase, OSD shows up empty.
    Garion.

    Well Garion, I don't know if your still out there, but I have finally completed your request. The plugin now populates the OSD with some episode information. A big thanks to Inker for figuring how to do this :D :D


    The only thing changed in this release is the dll itself.

    I noticed when you are in the show listing and you hit esc, it goes all the way out instead of one step back. This should be something that is easy to test.

    once again... awesome work weetodd :D

    can i add a couple of future-feature requests?
    - when you play a video from my videos, and stop it half way through, mp remembers where you're up to for next time, and gives you the option to resume for there. could you duplicate this feature for my tv series?
    - remember which episodes in a series you've played before, and mark them in the gui as 'watched'. i always forget which ep i'm up to :p

    WeeTodd:

    on the release notes, just an update in the readme.txt
    thats says whats changed since the last release, over time this would
    grow obviously and become like a changelog :)

    Cheers for great stuff

    P.S I second ASiDiE in the request for esc to go back rather than all the
    way to the menu screen!

    Firstly, how do you enable the import function within the GUI ? I've updated all the files (except for the database) from your latest binary release. But I don't see the import button as shown in your screenshot.

    I love this plugin, but I am in the same boat, I cannot see the buttons shown in the screen shots :(

    I am currently use 28a and everything seems to be working great. I do however have one feature request.

    I know that this program is built for series of shows (and does a good job of doing it). But, let’s say you have a couple of seasons and then an extra show. (unaired pilot, Christmas special) I would like to be able to ADD this in under the series. I am importing The Black Adder and all 4 seasons come in just fine, but then it hits The Black adder's Christmas special and doesn't know what to do with it. My only option right now is to select a description of an existing show and let it go on. At this point it thinks the show is already there and doesn't import it. (or maybe it does… and replaced the path of the one selected to the Christmas file but keeps the same description)

    In the future I would like to be able to add extra shows UNDER the series. So in this case, I would have The black adder->Season 1, Season 2, Season 3, Season 4, Christmas special.

    I should be able to scrape the name off of the file name or add it in myself. I should also be able to add a description if I wanted to.

    Thoughts?

    BUG: You have a list of shows and some of them have images and some do not. When you are on a show with and image it displays. When you go down to a show without a image, it keeps the same image of the previous show. It does however change the discription to the new show selected. I think if the show does not have an image it should just change to nothing.

    Thoughts?

    I agree, maybe this would be a way to do it:
    Lets say it find a file that it doesnt know how to deal with. it will then give you options:
    1) Enter manual filename (already exsits)
    2) Assign this show to a series as a special

    If you select 2), it will let you choose from all already existing shows, or additionally allow you to enter a new showname. Once that is done (either you selected an existing one, or you have enter a new one (and its found on tv.com), it will then ask you for the name of the special.

    Later, you can view your specials in the same way as you can select seasons, eg. Season 1, Season 2, Specials.

    Additionally, one might argue that certain specials "belong" to a certain Season, and maybe even between certain episodes, or at least at the begging or end of the season (maybe a preview, or a look back on the season). On second thought, it might just be better to keep them all under specials, the name should indicate where (or when) they belong. Seasons should be strictly for actual episodes.

    Hi Im using .28 and I realy love the plugin.

    some requests

    Add all files to database, even if not found on tv.com. This so if I do a refresh I dont have to manualy import them all over again Say the same as Inker is saying

    Add refresh to GUI F9 does the trick but I only use remote :)

    use the tv.com logo skin to me it just looks better :)
