My music plugin doesn't show up.

[nv40]

I have the my music plugin installed, and configured....but it simply will not show up as a button in gbpvr. Anyone?

There is probably a message in gbpvr.exe.log saying why it failed.

I cut this snippet out of the log: does this tell you anything?

It tells me MyMusic is currently configured to use a directory that you dont have. You probably need to click on the MyMusic plugin in the config app, then hit the "settings" button and set it up correctly.

Thanks sub, once again you pointed me in the right direction.....still have a problem though. The directory I set up in the plugin for my music is on a networked computer, but if I remove this directory and make it a directory on the local box, the tab shows up.....so it appears to crash when using a networked directory. I guess I could map the dir to a local drive letter, just seems like a lot of work when the plugin should be able to handle a network directory in todays age.

Sorry, I cant help you with that one. I've never used this plugin.

That's okay....have you used any mucis plugins? I need one that allow me to arrange my mp3's by name/date/etc. I have just one big folder of mp3's and this is the only way for me to make any sense of them.

the version of my music on the wiki probably wont run nicely with this setup.

the next version (rc1 in my sig) is mostly database driven, so it will scan all your music files and then display them by artist/album/genre/top 100 etc.
