oh bloody ####, i found the bug.  it was a very stupid mistake, i was loading the database after the files are scaned for, since i only just added the database, and well ive been testing with several items in the virtual root so it didnt crash.

ok the fix will be uploaded in about 10mins.  god i cant believe how stupid that was.

just to give you an idea how dumb it was:
old code:
<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"> FileList.init(skinDirectory,skinHelper,settings);
files = new Files("Virtual Root");
playlists = new Playlists();
fileList = files;

node = settings.SelectSingleNode("/settings/PluginSettings/MyMusicPlugin/DatabaseConnectionString");
if(node == null)
node = CommonUtilities.CreateNode(settings,PluginHelperFactory.getPluginHelper().GetInstallDirectory() +"config.xml","/settings/PluginSettings/MyMusicPlugin/DatabaseConnectionString","Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source="+ PluginHelperFactory.getPluginHelper().GetInstallDirectory() +"music.mdb");
database = new Database(node.InnerText);
MusicTag.database = database;[/QUOTE]

new code
<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">node = settings.SelectSingleNode("/settings/PluginSettings/MyMusicPlugin/DatabaseConnectionString");
if(node == null)
node = CommonUtilities.CreateNode(settings,PluginHelperFactory.getPluginHelper().GetInstallDirectory() +"config.xml","/settings/PluginSettings/MyMusicPlugin/DatabaseConnectionString","Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source="+ PluginHelperFactory.getPluginHelper().GetInstallDirectory() +"music.mdb");
database = new Database(node.InnerText);
MusicTag.database = database;

FileList.init(skinDirectory,skinHelper,settings);
files = new Files("Virtual Root");
playlists = new Playlists();
fileList = files;[/QUOTE]

just incase you missed it, the fix has now been uploaded to the wiki.

reven, thanks for all your help. It shows up now and all the songs are listed. BUT, none of the songs play. Nothing happens when selected. Other than that, GB-PVR takes much longer to start.
All said, you didn't give up and I appreciate all your time in this.

Stop the presses.....I obviously have a few bad mp3's since only 1 directory didnt' work but all the others do...So, forget the above with the exception of a slow boot.
You are a warrior.

try playing the same songs with the built in &quot;music library&quot; there seems to be some issues with music playback with gbpvr 0.90x (i have no idea why, could be some direct filters, try downloading the latest k++ codec pack, you can find a link at http://www.nerdthings.com).

ok u edited, when i posted . still try the latest codec pack, it comes with a bunch of directshow filters (which gbpvr uses to play videos/music).

It's all good on my side now. Thanks very much for all your time and efforts.

great looking plugin.

ive downloaded latest version to work with .9 and am using blue skin.
all working fine apart from strange behaviour with picture icons...seems to be only loading first 10 or so. if i relabel a folder so it appears lower down i dont see album cover, equally if i change another to make it appear near the top i see the cover pic....any ideas??

I had the same problem a while back. I think it's due to a problem with the default.jpg file in the first directory that show's up without an icon. I found that the image file was incomplete and could not be loaded. When I loaded it in photoshop, I found that the file was corrupted. I think the plugin cannot load any others once it gets stuck on the corrupt file.

yeah ro76 sounds correct. the folder images and the folder description are on a seperate thread, a thread can crash and burn without killing the thing that started it, so thats why gbpvr isnt crashing at that point. the thread is probably crashing because of the corrupt image file, but it could be a corrupt music file aswell (it uses the first music file found in the directory to get the info).

[mbeechwood]

yep, thanks, youre both right, funny thing though is that the offending jpg loaded up ok as a thumbnail
