XDVD beta sqlite db patch

[cheval]

Since moving recently to GBPVR 97.09 and switching the database from ACCESS to SQLite this plugin has been broken. It complains about the fact that the database is no longer ACCESS.

First Fix:
I've gone ahead and fixed the plugin by removing the unnecessary connection that it was making. It actually appears that it did nothing other than make the connection.

Second Fix:
The BaseFileDirectory setting in settings.xml (located in the skins directory) has been expanded (changed I guess) to take a list of directories. It no longer allows you to browse through your entire computer. It only allows you to browse those directories. The functionality to browse like the previous plugin broke when I compiled this with C# and .NET 2.0, so I feel this is as good if not better (simular to other plugins). The format is as follows:
<BaseFileDirectory>D:\Videos\DVD\,D:\Videos\Temp\</BaseFileDirectory>

Future Fix:
I'm planning to make the following changes prior to releasing the plugin to the wiki:
- Get DVDDrive from config tab DVD instead of duplicating this setting.
- Get MountDVDDrive from config tab DVD instead of duplicating this also.
- Create a plugin config setting window to allow you to specify settings from the config application rather than modifing the settings.xml

Suggested Fixes:
? Are there any other fixes?

Note: This patch only contains the .dll file so you need to install the plugin using the wiki version prior to using this patch.

Thanks for updaing this for the SQL db.

I've just installed it and am having a problem...(FYI this is a first install, I never tried to use it under a prior version)

I can get to the XDVD menu, and select an ISO, but when I click on play or transcode, the following happens:

No DVD Playback
The number 0/150 appears above play on the MVP
A 1 kb mpg file is created in the temp directory
A cmd window opens and immediately closes on the server computer. Since it moves so fast I have a hard time seeing what it says, but I *think* it is two lines of something like "cannot find the path specified"

If it helps:
GBPVR is installed in c:\program files\devnz\gbpvr
VLC is in C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC
My DVD drive is D:\
The iso was in E:\

Is there a log file where these errors will be written so I can give more information?

Thanks for your help.

once the patch becomes stable please upload it to wiki.
If you need help with that let me know.

Thank you for fixing this.

(The unnecessary db connection sounds like a copy and paste bug).

How can we get mulitple HDs to link to XDVD. I have several external HDs holdings DVD rips, but I cannot directly link to them from within the settings.xml file. I have to Map drive letters and go to each drive to select a Rip.

Is there a trick to make XDVD see multiple drives at once?

Thanks!

If your using the patch that is posted above you can do the following in the settings.xml:
============
<settings>
<TempFile>c:\dvd.mpg</TempFile>
<PlayMode mode="SIZE" value="150"/>
<DVDDrive>F:\</DVDDrive>
<BaseFileDirectory>C:\,D:\,Z:\</BaseFileDirectory>
<MountDVDDrive>G:\</MountDVDDrive>
<ForceMvpMode>true</ForceMvpMode>
</settings>
================

I just updated GBPVR to 97.13
Where do I place your MVPDVD.DLL?

How do I upgrade to SQLite DB versus MSAccess?

All I want is to easily span multi-drives for my DVD Rips.

You put the mvpdvd.dll in your plugins directory. I would install the plugin using the one on the wiki, since I'm not sure I included everything expect for the patch.

Search for the forums on how to do it. Sub has provided a small utility to convert your database and update the config at the same time. Works like a charm in 97.13

Let me know how it goes.
