Installing Plugins

[justlivin']

It seems to me that the video archiver dll is not in the right place. Although my exptise stopped a long time ago.

You need to place the CommonGBPVRUtilities.dll file into the main GBPVR directory. It does need to be (and is not used if it is) in the plug-in directory.

If this DLL can not be found, which is what the log indicates, then the load will fail. If you extract all the files from the zip file using the paths then everything should be in the right place when you are done. if you have not done this there may be other files in the wrong place. That said, as long as you have the skin files in the blue skin, the CommonGBPVRUtilities.dll file in root GBPVR directory, the .mdb file in the jeff directory and the plugin in the plug in directory it should at least load.

Thanks. I have completely redid the operation. I see the two items :
DVD to MPG and Videos in the plugin screen of the configuration. But when I run GBPVR, I do not see the buttons for them. I am including the gbpvr.exe log

Are they both selected (ie have a check next to them) i the config app? It doesn't look like GBPVR trying to load them at all and I see no errors listed. You might also look in the /jeff directory and see what the archiver-pc.log file says.

I am sorry, it was my mistake in not noticing fully. I tried to hit down arrow and finally found all the buttons. Thanks for all the help.
