Video Archiver Plugin

[cpenney]

Tonight I upgraded to the latest GB-PVR and Video Archiver plugin. I uninstalled GB-PVR and then Video Archiver. I then installed GB-PVR and then Video Archiver. Everything seems fine, but in the config app I have both "Videos" and "Video Archive Panel" (I only see 'Videos' in GB-PVR). Both have the same settings page and changing one changes the other. Is this supposed to be like that? If not, how do I clean it up?

Yes, it is supposed to be this way. The video archive panel only is displayed if it is configured to do so in your main menu skin.xml file. The entry in the config program is just a short cut for quickly jumping to the correct tab on the video config settings.

These errors have nothing to do with the video archive plug-in. These errors are due to some things that sub has defined in his private build of GBPVR that do not exist for the rest of us.

You need to select the "Videos" plug-in to have the button show up. Selected the panel actually doesn't do anything one way or the other. it is just a dummy entry in the plug-ins list so that you can easily configure what shows up on the video archive panel (if your skin has it activated).
