Did you remember to retain the first half dozen lines or so of XML from the other language file ("LOCAL LANG" etc)? These are used by the application to tell what language is used by the file etc. If you dont have these, then your file will probably suffer the fate you describe...

No - I just reused/copied my old Language.xml file from the main dir to <Language>. I will look at one of the foreign xmls to see the formatting I need. Thanks!

I don't think there is an "English" file. All I see in the <Language> directory are the foreign language xml files.

Ofcourse, didn't think of that, sorry:o

Hi.

1st off....Great Plugin!

Couple of questions....stupid one first:-
When I've got a few tracks queued for playing and I go to the playlist screen and stop the play, is there a way to "clear" the current list (keyboard/remote)? I cant seem to get back to the playlist selection screen without re-starting GBPVR

2nd. Most of my external M3U playlists don't seem to import event though they play fine in the likes of WMP. They show up in the playlist left hand selection screen but no tracks show in the right hand track list section.
When I open the M3Us in say notepad, they're just lists of the relevant mp3 file names in order.

Any idea why they don't import?

Any help appreciated.

The green button (ctrl+g) toggles between the playlist and library screens.

The stop button (ctrk+s) to clears the current playlist.

I'm not positive on this one, but I don't think ML2 will work if your m3u files do not have the full file path... C:\Docs\User\My Docs\Britney Spears\Britney.mp3

You do not need quotes if there are spaces in your file paths.

Good luck...

Sub --
This is the header of the Italian Language file...

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<language>
<translate originalText="Original Text" translatedText="Italiano"/>
<translate originalText="LOCAL LANG" translatedText="Italiano Plugins"/>
<translate originalText="XML ENCODING" translatedText="ISO-8859-1"/>
<translate originalText="LANG CODE" translatedText="esp"/>
<translate originalText="LAST CHANGE" translatedText="18-FEB-06"/>
<translate originalText="ADD NATIONAL CHARS IN STRING BELOW" translatedText="ADD NATIONAL CHARS IN STRING BELOW"/>
<translate originalText="ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789" translatedText="ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789"/>

So I made my file look like this...

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<language>
<translate originalText="Original Text" translatedText="Original Text"/>
<translate originalText="LOCAL LANG" translatedText="LOCAL LANG"/>
<translate originalText="XML ENCODING" translatedText="UTF-8"/>
<translate originalText="LANG CODE" translatedText="LANG CODE"/>
<translate originalText="LAST CHANGE" translatedText="18-FEB-06"/>
<translate originalText="ADD NATIONAL CHARS IN STRING BELOW" translatedText="ADD NATIONAL CHARS IN STRING BELOW"/>
<translate originalText="ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789" translatedText="ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789"/>
<translate originalText="Music Library2" translatedText="|\/| U $ | ("/>
</language>

And it still always resets to "English" in the config app. Basically I want it to use the English defaults and translate Music Library2 to something else.

Am I doing something wrong? Should this be in another thread??? I'm not familiar with some of the variables (LOCAL LANG, etc.) in the language.xml files.

Thanks!

The green button (ctrl+g) toggles between the playlist and library screens.

The stop button (ctrk+s) to clears the current playlist.

...

ctrl+g does toggle between screens.
ctrl+s does stop the current track playing but it doesn't clear the play list. The only way I can clear the playlist seems to be to exit GBPVR and restart.

My M3U files dont contain a full path. Some import & play. Others don't even though their syntax looks similar.

Very odd :confused:

Can you post me one of your m3u files and I'll have a look at them. I don't tend to use playlists so my testing is quite limited.

Your stop command sounds strange, can you make sure your logging is set to verbose (from the config app) and queue some songs, play one of them then hit the stop command. Then post the gbpvr.exe.log for me.

Cheers

Thanks Psycik.

I've attached a few of the offending M3Us.

The Madonna one loads & plays. The others show in the left window on the Playlist screen but have nothing in the track window and if you select "play" they say playing at the top of the screen but nothing happens.

I'll send the crtl+s log file seperately when I've had chance to test.

[psycik]

no real difference for any of them, I take it that the playlist resides in the same path as the music?? It must do because there are no paths in the m3u's at all.

I'll look at making an update, it may not have been anything I've explicitly tested.
