International Cinema Listings can't find skin.xml

[wookie490]

I'm having some problems getting the International Cinema Listings plugin to work correctly. When I select the plugin from the main menu, I get the following error message:

Error: Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\InternationalCinemaListings\skin.xml'

Currently I have V 1.0.16 installed, but it turns out my system can't handle mpeg2 playback on PVRX2.exe, so I'm back to using the old GBPVR.exe. The cinema listings plugin works fine under PVRX2.exe FWIW. Also, I'm using the default blue skin.

I've uninstalled and done a fresh install a few different times, all without luck. The directory C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\InternationalCinemaListings isn't even created during install as far as I can tell. I've attached the install log if that's any help.

International Cinema Listings v6.0 (and v5.0) are PVRX2 only. Sorry.

What system have you got? I found using the -fse command line option improves performance on my fairly low spec machine (see link in sig).

The box I'm running GBPVR on has an AMD athlon 2800+, 512MB RAM, Hauppauge PVR-150 and an Nvidia GeForce MX 4000. For some reason, I can't get anything but the overlay manager to work as my video renderer. I tried updating the video card drivers, I tried all permutations of my available codecs, I tried the -fse option, but I'm still getting choppy MPEG playback.

Are any previous versions of the cinema listing plugin compatible with the old interface? If so, are any of those still available for download?

Thanks for the quick reply and the great set of plugs BTW!

Your machine isn't far off my own. What res are you running? I found dropping mine below 800x600 (to match the TV) improved performance.

V6 has been a major redesign of the web scraper so it no longer works with old plugin versions and, I don't keep old versions on file. Sorry.

Actually I was able to score a Nvidia FX 5200 card from work today that was no longer in use. Upgrading the card, along with bumping down the resolution on the TV output, and going from clone to dualview mode made running VMR9 (and hence PVRX2) possible. Thanks for the tip on the resolution reduction!
