[dbinaz]

I forgot to send the config. do you still need it?

No, which version of MP do you use (Stable 0.2.3 or with latest SVN) ?

0.2.3 Stable

Thanks Zebon,

this plugin's getting better and better. i really love it. it almost replaced mediaportal for me
just installed version 4.3.5 for MP Stable 2.3.0 and noticed some little bugs...
P1) by pressing back or <esc> in the movie-detail screen i get back to mediaportal home instead of the mesfilms movie list
P2) the last postition in the movie list (last viewed movie / last viewed movie details) is not stored, mesfilms always jumps to the first movie in the list if i reenter mesfilms...is there a option in the settings i missed?

there are a few skin enhancements i would like to suggest. i'm using "monochrome", but don't know if my suggestions concern you or "psycho reptile" it's creator. in the attachement are 2 screenshots
S1) in the filmstrip mode the title of the currently selected movie is not shown correctly in the upper right corner (it's always the first movie in the list)
S2) what's this "#nbobjects" thing? did i miss some settings? (my settingscreen is also attached)
S3) would it be possible to rip out these ugly rolling text boxes? in the list view completly and maybe in the detail view put them in a popup or bring in some scroll buttons. dont get me wrong, these informations are very useful and important but the way they are presented...mhhh...don'know....

great work, keep it up
regards
patrick

I don't understand :
P1) It works for me
P2) It works for me

S1) It works for me (see attached screenview)
S2) #nbobjects is the items list number. It works for me (see attached screenview)

You have a lot of problem, may be a bad installation of MP or MyFilms ?

S3) No Way. As you say these informations are very usefull and the plugin was mainly develop to show it. If you don't want it, use the standard MyVideos module...

zebons,

Would it be possible (and I apologize if it is and I'm just blind!) to have the default sort with say, the ANT OriginalTitle but actually display the FormattedTitle or TranslatedTitle..

Reason I ask is for instance, all the Harry Potter movies, if sorted by their original title, don't appear in the order they were released (1-5), so in Ant, i use the TranslatedTitle to put for instance, "Harry Potter 5" (for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix). However, when I'm browsing the movies, I don't want to "see" Harry Potter 5, I just want to see Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, but have it appear as the last harry potter. Right now, the first Harry to appear is of course, The Chamber of Secrets.

Hope I've been clear enough.

Hope I've been clear enough.

In the next version (v4.3.6) coming soon, I add a new setup option 'Ant Sort Title', so you can choose to display a Title and sort on another...
By default the Sort Title'll be the same than the 'ANT Master Title' if not given.
I hope that'll help you...
If you want to test that option, please send me an email @ by PM (tell me which MP's version you use -Stable or with SVNs).

I began to update the wiki here . But not so time.
If users can help me and update a little part it'd be nice

Please, PLEASE place this link into your start post and on the download section, I'm begging you That way people can find out quickly what this plugin actually does...
...I've been searching for an explanation on what this plugin does for about 45 minutes now and finally found this!

If I understand correctly now it's an advanced replacement for the My Video's section in MP, right?

:sorry: Done

Yes, but it needs to build a Movies collection with one of the compatibles software (Ant Movie Catalog, DVDProfiler or MovieCollector). If you haven't an such database collection, use ANT as the xml file is directly used by that software and MP -no export needed-

 

[ben001]

Invalid Character for Movie Number at position 0. You have to correct the Movie's information with ANT Movie Catalog software!. Exception Message: The URL cannot be empty.
Parameter name: url

Can you send me your xml database and your configuration for MyFilms, I'll test it...

I get this error as well trying to import an xml from Movie Collector, using the SVN. Was a solution ever found to this problem?

error while trying to play AVI file

When trying to play AVI file that was loaded from an ANT xml file I get the following error:

2008-01-12 14:02:24.443508 [ERROR][MPMain]: Exception: System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Length cannot be less than zero.
Parameter name: length
at System.String.InternalSubStringWithChecks(Int32 startIndex, Int32 length, Boolean fAlwaysCopy)

I don't have a problem playing any full ISO dvd's, but sometimes I'll shrink them down to AVI to save space. Anyone seen this problem?

Can you give me more details :
Setup configuration
Information in your Ant Xml file for searching the AVI file

media portal 0.2.3
myfilms v4.3.2
winxp

As for the setup, I list the AVI filename as the source, path included, ie. Source="H:\movie1.avi" - this works perfectly for ISO's. I tell it to get the File Info in the Source Column, in addition I list H:\ in the paths for movies file search.

I had this happen for 4 or 5 different AVI files today...I tried playing some other avi and one finally actually played, and then others gave me an "VMR9" videoplayer error? Don't believe this is associated, but who knows.


Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions.
