most of my dvds are stored in my database however, but the way ive done it is add a "DVD" item to the "Virtual Root" and then when the disc is in the drive lookup the info, that way when you take the disc out and swap them all around and putit back in the drive you will still have the info. its useful in finding out whats in the drive without having to eject it and see.


But can you browse through the offline collection?

So this could be done another way. By inserting each disc and doing a lookup to store the data in the database. Then we just need a function to view offline discs from the main menu. The data then comes from the DB.
Select the disc the hit ok. The program should then check to see what if anything is in the drive if it matches then play it, if not eject it and wait for insert.

Very cool.


How does this work? Are all the functions stored in the .dll?

Is the XML file just a simple template of where to place items?

Sometimes I wish I had learned C

Hey, I ran into a wierd glitch. I placed a folder in the my recordings directory named DVD Collection and placed sub folders for action / drama / scifi
In each I placed files with movie names.

Now when in GB and using the MyVideos you would normally select a video by pressing OK. When this happens it tries to do a lookup to find it's information. Normally works fine. But on this sub folder only, it adds quot;andquot; Movie Name quot; google search into the title one the on screen keyboard entry.

Got any idea where that's coming from?

that just indicates it didnt find anything. on the next version of my vids it will show the popup menu when no info is found (no forced lookup).

Yeah, that would be better. I had to clear this from the DB and do a manual search.

Anyway it does work very well for offline content when setup as I descibed.

Now we can browse the online and offline collection in the same menu. I place recorded shows here too. If you select the wrong type it doesn't play. So you never get errors.

I removed videos, DVD, Live TV fromn the main menu. My Videos handles all play back of non-live TV.

Thanks again for a really cool app.

I have been playing with the "address" plugin to do the same thing.
It works okay asis but some tweaking is probably needed to make it a true library, auto sorting mainly.
I hope to learn a little c# and attempt it Wink
