Hi,

Could you tell me how to enable Fanart. Should I put all the pictures in one folder and name the files according to movie title or should i put the picture in each individual movie folder. I tried to put every pictures in one folder but somehow it didn;t work

Thanks

Could someone help me with this, thanks

You must put the pictures in the folder that you define in the MF config (see attached pic)
The name of the pictures must be the original/translated title (test with both)

That what i thought, but somehow it didn't work. I put all the files in one folder and put the name of that folder in Fan Art Picture path (IMG). COuld it be possible because all of my files are in JPG format?

About the fanart feaure. Could it be possible for myFilms to look for a file "containing" the movie title and not "being name" as the movie title? That way we could share fanarts with MovingPictures. It would save hard disk space by not having duplicates.

Argh, you know, I reported the new versions of My Films not working (and as other people, they kinda were ignored, probably because of to little info) and tried over and over. Finally figured it out though.
I have to set "ant item storage info" (which I never had set before, since I don't use it for that purpose) otherwise nothing will show! Setting it to "(none)" won't work either!
To me this feels like a bug in error handling or checking values entered in the config...

The none bit showed up in the error log (that's what made me think), but having set nothing to that variable doesn't show me any errors. To be thorough:

2008-11-22 18:32:21.125000 [ERROR][MPMain]: Exception: System.ArgumentException: De kolom (none) hoort niet bij de tabel Movie.
bij System.Data.DataRow.GetDataColumn(String columnName)

De kolom (none) hoort niet bij de tabel Movie.

This means something to the extend of; "The column "(none)"doesn't belong to the table "Movie"

That info is and was mandatory to launch movies. I'll take a look on the setup checks to add more control on it.

Well, maybe it was before, but at least it didn't crash MP No offense, and I'm really greatfull for the work you're putting in this plugin.
Just was kinda anoyed that my problem was caused by something "simple" like this...

I never ever filled in this field before and with the older versions it used to work so I didn't really test that at first...

edit:

That info is and was mandatory to launch movies

That's the point, I'm not using this plugin to launch movies, I just want it to have an overview of Ant in MP, that's all, nothing fancy
That's also the reason I hadn't configured this field. I have now, but it's filled with a nonsense field. I don't have the exact filepaths in my Ant database (for now, most of it is on disc anyways).
All I want it to do at most (that's no priority for me, and it used to work, didn't test it yet) is that the plugin tells me were I can find the disc.

Hello
I try everything I could think of to launch bluray ISO's with Powerdvd or totalmedia theatre from myfilms, but couldn't find the info on how to do it.

I added the filetype ".iso" to the config, installed daemon tools 4.3, but no luck, so I installed fastmount, but didn't work either (not even outside MP), it launches the player but didn't mount the ISO.

I check manually and i was able to mount the bluray iso in daemon tools, and i can watch it in totalmedia and powerdvd 7.3.

Can someone please post how to do it, since it doesn't seems to be a howto for this to work.

as alternative, I can launch bluray movies, going to \movie\BDMV\index.bdmv file, TotalMedia theatre likes it and plays with menu and everything, I can add the bdmv filetype to MP but how to tell MP to launch totalmedia for it, instead the internal player.
any ideas?
thank you
indkt.

Do you declare your daemon tooks config in MP setup ?

Well, maybe it was before, but at least it didn't crash MP No offense, and I'm really greatfull for the work you're putting in this plugin.

Ok no matter I modify the code to take into account that point. With next version, taht field'll be filled with (none) or blank.

All I want it to do at most (that's no priority for me, and it used to work, didn't test it yet) is that the plugin tells me were I can find the disc.

To do that, you have to identify which fiekd of your DB contains info that can help you to identify the rigth disc. Yell it in the setup into tje 'ANT Identification Item' field with eventually a label indicating the action to do.
In my case, all my CD and DVD are numbered with the same number than in the ANT Database, so I choose the field 'Number' and put the label 'CD/DVD Number :'. When the plugin don't find the file to launch on HDD, it give me the CD number to mount...

Can you try with that dll... Not fully tested for fanart research but it'd search for thumbs containing name of Original or Translated titles.
