Problem with Music Library 2 in 97.9

[mila06]

I really appreciate your help !!! You are right fatman_do, it is c:\programmer\... Now i have just copied the skin-dir to "c:\program files\..." Everything is working. The only program i can find anything with "program files" is in NativeUtilities.dll. Don't know if that says anything....

I would first like to say this is a great plugin. Excellent work.

I am having a skin problem since I have installed the new version and am hoping you can help me with it. My logs say:

I have tried copying the ML2Panel.xml from the blue folder to the location it is looking but that did not seem to resolve the issue.

I do not know much about skinning(but am willing to learn:p ) any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Take the images across as well, I think there were some in the blue panels folder.

Have you got the screenSaver (in the config app in the MusicLibrary2 configuration) set to use the musiclibrary2 one?

Aah, and I think you might have an old copy:

Code:

6/6/2006 8:47:00 PM.421 VERBOSE [1] MusicLibrary2: Initialising - verify CommonGBPVRUtilties Exists.

It shouldn't say this anymore. I did have some problems uploading to the wiki, and had to do it again yesterday afternoon (my after noon, would have been your evening).

[Fatman_do]

He needs the updated version. I see in the logs a reference to CommonGBPVRUtilies.dll (Oh wait you said that.)

Also, Is gbpvr installed in the program files directory?

If the ML2Panel skin file is in the wrong place, that won't stop ML2 from showing up (At least that is what my experience was)

[Fatman_do]

Looks also like it found the database and such. The only thing it tripped on it looks like is the ML2panel, which baseskin does not currently support. (unless the panel is added to mainmenus)

What are the latest logs?

Why am I debugging again......Don't I learn?

(Ok, so I am updating the skin for this plugin so I am somewhat familiar with the skinning side of things)

[Fatman_do]

I really shouldn't be drinking and posting, but it's tuesday........(sound logic in my book)

BaseSkin does not support the latest version of this plugin. The ML2 skin file will need to be updated.

Epiphanies of a bald, fat, drunk, man......


(EDIT: shouldn't was should. Not as funny when spelled incomplete. But hey, I was DRINKING!)

[DeepBlueC]

Thats too bad.. Maybe I'll hack around on the skin xml and see what I can get to work.

Thanks Fatman and Psycik for your help with this..

[Fatman_do]

It is easy to fix. See the skinning changes that are posted and update those. I think it is only in two places.

[psycik]

It's like I've got my own help desk support, it's great

Cheers Fatman_do

I too have had problems with location hard-coding - after downloading the latest version (and then downloading it again with a different browser after spotting that some of my problems was because I must have locally cached the previous version ), it simply wouldn't appear in the config until I also extracted it to c:\program files\devnz\gbpvr as well as my usual e:\program files etc etc.

I still have a few panel and screen-saver related errors, but at least the plugin now appears in config. Here are the relevant two sets of error logs:
