MusicLibrary2: Version 3 BETA - You name it, it does it...

[tkgafs]

Changing the field from text 255 to memo does not cure problem, but the problem is m3u playlist related, if I remove the playlist files the problem goes away.

another minor bug is that nuking the library from the config app does not clear the playlist table

I'll try and do more testing to work what is causing it

Sorry,

but here is another little bug, if you have a playlist playing music and you use the record key to delete an item from it, the playlist actually restarts from the beginning

EDIT :- cant reproduce this now but it happened at least 3 times on the same playlist

Sorry Psyick heres another bug

if a folder contains the file noindex.txt which stops it being randomly chosen for playlists, then any subsequent folders which are scanned have the field ExcludeDatabase in the table musiclibrary set to yes

the folders before are ok

I've got fixes for all the bugs. Thanks greatly for all your efforts.

Does the GBPVR log mention anything with the M3U inserting, or at least which of your M3U's causing the problem?? I've added some more logging to try and track it.

The error message almost looks like it's a number causing the problem but all the numbers I have are set to long, which is +- 2 billion, and i doubt you have that many tracks.

I havent quite got the pattern yet, but I think that you can add folders to the collection ok unless you have previously added some folders which contained m3u playlists, if these playlists are in the db then any other folders you try to add seem to fail after they have been scanned, as the progress bar gets all the way to the right and the count displayed looks approximatley correct, before you get the field not big enough error

not a bug but a "simple" request could you have an option on the config app which would put the plugin into jukebox mode where it would automatically choose random music if the playlist was empty and it didnt detect movement within the library screen after a predetermined time say 30 secs this is what the original jukebox plugin did and I found it really good I could queue some music but know that if it ran out the plugin would just keeping playing something

tkgafs, would you envision this jukebox mode being just the starting 30 seconds, or regardless, i.e. any 30 second idle period where music library is open??

Hmm, this could be kind of dangerous if done wrong, and I'll have to be careful of the screen saver.

Certainly doing it from ML2 opening is easy.

any time the plugin is active but the playlist is empty for a predetermined time 30 or 60 seconds or whatever seems reasonable, then if the "jukebox" mode is active then the plugin should just start playing randomly from the currently active collection.

from what I remember from the original jukebox plugin it started basically instantly but thats what it was designed to do and it kept playing random tracks anytime the playlist became empty.

It was this plugin that first got me using gbpvr long before I got a capture card for tv [i've got two now ] and playing music is still what I use the system for most of the time

Ok, I seem to have it mostly going.

Just making sure it doesn't start when not active, and after existing.

Oh, a thought, when you run your scan next, have a look in the config.exe.log and can we figure out which of your M3U files is causing that problem??

there is nothing useful in config logfile see below

but the problem seems to be that playlists might not be recognised as being already in the database [and they dont get deleted when you nuke it !!]

they seem to get added to the playlist table each time you scan with another m3u suffix see the attached image for examples
