Music Plugin Beta

[7ore]

Are you running GBPVR in Client-Server mode and using Music plugin from clients?

No, I run GBpvr one one machine, without any server setup (yet).
But the music is mostly located on another machine...

On my other comps i mostly use winamp.

MixMan, I am having real problems with folders where the track number isn't correct. It looks like if there is not a a logical 1,2,3,4 order nothing works. For example if track 1 is missing nothing shows in the folder in folder view and in artist or album view there are holes if there are missing files.

Also if there are duplicates in the collection for album instead of both songs being shown for the track nothing is shown.

If the items in a UiList (the lists where you see your data) aren't unique there will be 'holes' in the list but when selecting an item the data/text will be shown. This has to do something with API, I think. (You get these holes because 2 or more items are missing data in the tag). MAYBE I can do something to check the collection of data when building the UiList, if data missing, put in "something else".

About nothing showing because track 1 is missing in Folder View I have to double-check, sounds very strange because in Folder View there are no what so ever attempts to use any tag info, only pure directory info for folders and files.

Its actually when 2 items have exactly the same properties. Sub makes a hash of each item. Sounds like you just need to work on a little more "uniqueness" in the properties of the items, use filename, or some other item to guarantee each item is unique.

Both Bekken and I feel pretty satisfied with the functionality of the Music plugin....for now. We have discussed what will be the next steps in implementation of features.
But those will wait until we have them figured out in our minds.
So there will not be anymore "major" features implemented in the near future.
Some bug fixes and smaller adjustment may be fixed though....if there is the need for it.

So the next update will be the "final" version.
Thats what we think right now.

Do you think BekKen and you will be able to add text entry support for the MVP/PCH remote and the PCH keyboard as entry devices in this final?

There is an easy fix to this. Just add an additional parameter to the UiList object with a count number or some other piece of information that helps make the entries unique. It doesnt have to be a data element which is displayed.

You mean like adding a dummy parameter not used? like @dummyNotUsed=i and then just increase i with 1 for every item added? If so,.. very simple and should be a "rule" when building the uilist :-)

[sub]

Yep, something like that should do it.

It might need to be a string. I cant remember exactly.

[BekKen]

Thanks Sub and Psycik, seems like adding a counter as string did the trick. I sent to MixMan and he will update Wiki and stuff with new plugin.

I deleted everything in the "Music" folder and installed the 0.51. Selected "recreate database" and "consistency check" (thought it might help as i wanted to move my musicart). Opened GBpvr and as i play a song, I select "Details" and get the exception below:
Maybe I was too fast and the database wasn't updated. I hope you get some info from the stack.
