Thanks!
As for the question McBainUK already took care of it. Let me know if there's anything specific you'd like to see the skin do and I'll see what I can do.

Actually, right now the Community skin doesn't have the latest Movies xml file in it.

To be really flexible and skinning friendly, the background image and selector images need to be able to be defined in the skin.xml file.

Your skin style is unique, but it can be worked with. Maybe adding something like this in the skin.xml file for starters.

Code:

<settings>
    <writing>
        <button_normal color="black" size="10" font="Arial" />
        <button_selected color="black" size="10" font="Arial" />
        <description_window color="lightgray" size="10" font="Arial" />
        <info_window color="lightgray" size="10" font="Arial" />
    </writing>
    <numberofbuttons value="9" />
    <locations>
        <poster xPos="30" yPos="10" Width="0" Height="0" />
        <buttons xPos="370" yPos="10" Width="330" Height="0" />
        <help xPos="185" yPos="10" Width="0" Height="0" />
        <movie xPos="185" yPos="150" Width="0" Height="0" />
        <pages xPos="185" yPos="170" Width="0" Height="0" />
        <description xPos="10" yPos="250" Width="650" Height="60" />
        <year xPos="10" yPos="440" Width="100" Height="20" />
        <runtime xPos="60" yPos="440" Width="500" Height="20" />
        <genre xPos="10" yPos="420" Width="650" Height="20" />
        <rating xPos="10" yPos="400" Width="650" Height="20" />
        <actors xPos="10" yPos="300" Width="650" Height="120" />
    </locations>
    [B][COLOR="Red"]<Images>
        <button_normal "normal.png" />
        <button_selected "selected.png" />
        <background "..\background.jpg" />
    </Images>[/COLOR][/B]
</settings>

Usually skins have CompositeImages that define such things..

Code:

<CompositeImage name="Background" size="720,480">
  <DrawImage filename="..\Background.jpg" loc="0,0" size="720,480"/>
</CompositeImage>

Code:

<CompositeImage name="ListItemSelected" size="300,25">
  <DrawImage filename="selected.png" loc="0,0" size="300,25"/>
  <DrawText text="@text" size="300,25" loc="0,0" align="Left" textStyle="ListItemSelected" />
</CompositeImage>

But your plugin is not designed that way so it may be easier to do the "Images" addition.

So for the short version, yes and yes but it will take me a bit get to both.

Ok navyguy, looking forward to future releaese then.

Thanks,

</settings>

I'll add that into the next update, thanks for the tip.

Navyguy,

Is it possible to add in the future DVD structure support? I am converting my movies stored on HD with DVD stucture (video_ts) to ISO's but it is more work. Or do you know if there is a tool to do it automaticly? I am now using Nero to make the ISO's

Another question is .... Several movies are not found for example the movie Layover it give no results after a lookup. When I look on imdb.com the movie is there. Must i give the ISO's a special name ?

Thanks in advance....

I'll look into the movie Layover to see what's up with it, for best results just cut and paste "Layover (1999)" or "Layover (2001)" or "Layover (2005)" (without the quotes) into the movie title on the "Movie Info" tab and try an IMDB lookup from there. I'm not at home until tomorrow evening so won't be able to actually try it until then but depending which version you want try one of the above and see how it works.

As for directory structure it shouldn't be too hard to put in I'd think but again not even being home to be able to take a look at what it would mean code wise I don't want to make any promises yet but I'll take a look at it in the next couple of days and see.

Navyguy,

Thanks again. If I can give some help with testing let me know.

Ok, I figured out what is up with the Layover movie, if you go to IMDb.com you'll see a search for the movie layover comes up with 3 title matches. The utility will go to the first link (in this case Layover 1999), if you click on that link you'll see there's pretty much no information available. However the Layover 2001 link does have information and a poster image. In this case copy and paste into the Title input area on the utility exactly what it is you want (in this case it would be "Layover (2001)" without the quotes and it'll pull exactly that when you click the IMDB lookup button.

For now at least that's the workaround, after I get done with this round of feature additions I'll revisit this and see what I can do to improve the logic for this kind of situation when IMDB sends back a page with pretty much no information.

... Snip ...

I'm guessing you posted this in the wrong thread - this thread is for a completely different plugin, and unfortunately I've no idea what is causing your problem.

Hi navyguy, love this plugin, it helps me keep track of the various films i have downloaded and recorded, however maintaining it from my HTPC is tricky and so i currently run this on my main PC aswell and then realtime sync the database with the HTPC.

With this in mind would it be possible to add an option to choose the default save location of the database?

This way i could set it to \\GBPVR Box\devnz\gbpvr\third party\navyman and cut out the need to sync?
