My Music not showing

[pcostanza]

OK, music.mdb exists where you show it should. I changed the root to a new folder with only 14 tracks. No go again.
When you scan for files, after it finds the files, should the files stay in the box? See file enclosed. After I hit OK, all the files scanned disappear from the window. Just making sure that is what is supposed to happen.

yeah they are meant to stay in the list so you can look and see what was added. ok can you download a program like mediatagger (from download.com) and make sure every field is tagged in the 14 track directory.

also i noticed you are using the Flat blue skin

try switching to either the blue skin or media experience (as i know both these skins work).

Hi

Great looking plugin, but im having the same problems as pcostanza. i have tried reinstalling both mymusic and dbpoweramp, everytime though gbpvr doesnt see the pugin.

i have also emptied the mdb of info and created a test directory and put a single cd in. within config i have removed the orig music directory and pointed gbpvr at this test directory, however when scanning in my music it is still searching my original dirrectory and not the test one

[reven]

the code searching every Listitem in the &quot;virtual root&quot; list control, so this code is extremely basic, not much can go wrong here (there might be, but i doubt it). are you trying to scan the virtual root directories or the &quot;music&quot; directories listed for gbpvr itself? (ie the music directories used in the &quot;music library&quot

[mbeechwood]

ok...apologies, my stupidity, i was altering main config directory rather than my music's.

so now it works and see's my test cd.

so if it cant read an id tag does the app fail to load, what about m4a files, as i have some of them...maybe i needto move them to another directory?

[reven]

i only have support to read mp3,wma,ape, and ogg tags.  m4a (assuming these are mpeg4 audio files) might use the same tag headers as mp3 so try and rename a m4a file to mp3 and see if the header works.

im still not 100% where the bug is, since i cant seem to recreate it.  ive only had 2 bug reports, one with audio cds and the freedb lookups (which i was aware of), and this bug which seems to be unique to pcostanza so it may take awhile before i can track it down.


oh i just had a idea, pcostanza in the filelist textbox change it to &quot;%FILENAME%&quot; this will force it to just display the music files filename and wont look up the tags in either the database or via the file headers. and run it again, see if this stops it from crashing, well failing to laod. at least if it works, i konw the bug is in actually in the tag class.

Hi

I found something that could be a problem. (or just a problem with the log)
My log says:
Error initializing menu plugin: C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\\plugins\MyMusicPlugin.dll

There are two &quot;\&quot; before &quot;plugins&quot; that doesn't seem right.

I got Mediatagger and every field is tagged. I have also tried all the other skins to see if that was the problem and still no joy.
It's strange since all my other plugins work.
Thanks for your help.

Cogliostro nah thats not the problem, it always looks like this. pcostanza did you try the &quot;%FILENAME%&quot; suggestion?

reven, I've tried made the change as suggested and just want to be sure that the %FILENAME% was not to be added to the list but completely replace what was there....correct? I did that and still no luck. Even when I scan the directory it won't keep the files. But, I can't understand why if I have a checkmark for MyMusic, it won't even show in the menu. You'd think it would show but give some error when trying to access it.
I sincerely hope I'm not some big dope doing one little thing wrong and putting you in a tailspin. I've applied this plugin like I have all the others which seem to work fine in the new version.
Don't spend all your time on me, I can survive without this but it does seem to be a cool little plugin.
Thanks
