(original thread) MyFilms v3.1 - Use an ANT Movie Database (AMC) in MP (1 Viewer)

Or choose a seperator from this list: / " * : ? < >

These were all mentioned back when I first bought up the seperator issue. They weren't re-mentioned as apart from / none of them really looks suitable IMHO. That's why I said maybe revert to ; (wishing I hadn't bought it up in the first place TBH as it's JUST a seperator) (who uses ; in files names anyway?) )

Eagerly awaiting working update for recent SVN:s - any news?

 

[eloo]

Updated BlueTwo wide files a bit to my taste, based on mst3kroqs work. Grab em if you like em.

Just installed this plugin today, and I must say I love it!

----

Two observations:

1) The Popup insert medie dialog: says "medielabel"= number , instead of just the number

2) The third button on detailed view doesnt have any text

Usinf full pathnames as picture and url (file)

Hi, i find this plugin very nice and useful so i've installed it. Because i've multiple storage for movies (local disk and network storage) i'm using full pathnames (eg: drive:/path/path/file.jpg) for picture and file location in ant database.

In plugin configuration parameters "ant picture path" and "search path for file read" are empty.

Use of this database with plugin generate an error in log and picture and movies aren't avalaible in mediaportal (movies list and view are ok only no picture and no play).

For test purpuose i've defined a movie using relative path, set in plugin configuration parameters "ant picture path" and "search path for file read" to root storage directory and it's working.

So, how i can use full pathnames to support my sparse storage ?

Thanks

Attached my test.xml ant database.

Full pathname and sparse storage

I've configured the storage and plug this way:

- All picture in the same directory
- Movies sparse in some storage (eg: d:\movies, e:\movies,...)
- in Ant XML picture defined only by name, no path (eg: img01.jpg, img02.jpg)
- In Ant XML Movies defined by full pathname (eg: d:\movies\movie01\movie01.avi)
- in plugin "Ant picture path (IMG)" set to directory of images (eg: d:\images)
- in plugin "Search path for file read" same as "Ant picture path (IMG)"

This way plugin is working.

Anyone can suggest a way to store the picture in same directory of the movie ?

Thanks

[zebons]

I rewrite part of the plugin.. The new version 'll be release soon and a dll compatible with latests SVN too.

Hey zebons, sound great! I am really enjoying your plugin, and it has a great WAF. Could you by any chance integrate my Bluetwo wide files?

 

[zebons]

I'll take a look and adapt it to the new version (add a disk image on the detail screen if file's movies are found on DD). If it's good no prblem to add it into the next version .
Thanks for your job.
