First - this post is directed pretty much solely to anime collectors / viewers. What follows will be of no interest to others. Move along, nothing to see here. (Heck, it may not even be of interest to the former group either!)
While aware from the beginning that I may be writing a plugin for a target audience of one -- myself -- I went ahead and did it anyway.
Despite that, as I finish going through my list of things that I want to fix / change with the first version, I'm to the point where I would like to double the users all the way up to two.
Which is to say, I'm looking for a guinea pig, er, volunteer, to test a new PVRX2 plugin.
You'll need to have:
The anidb.net account is a requirement, as the plugin integrates heavily with the anidb database to retrieve anime, episode, and file details.
At this point I'm really only looking for one or two people. While I believe my todo list has the outstanding issues covered, I also appreciate that I'm far too close to the code to be a good tester, and would like some more eyes on it. A more general Beta will follow, along with wikification after that.
Assuming, of course, anybody want to goof around with this thing in the first place! And if not, that's fine too.
I'll put up some screen shots on simple web page within a couple hours, I don't want to clutter up the forums. Edit: Screenshots here, HTML circa 1992.
Again, this is directed towards anime viewers only. The plugin is not suitable for general media.

While here -- some thank-you notes.
First to sub for building and supporting gbpvr in the first place. Really wish he would post on the boards more though, I'm almost caught up to his post count.
Second, to JavaWiz, whose WizUI library tools not only made the plugin possible, but also provided a catalyst for starting writing the plugin in the first place.
Third, to the developers of anidb.net for making the fruits of their work available for creative uses such as this.
Thank you all!

Which is to say, I'm looking for a guinea pig, er, volunteer, to test a new PVRX2 plugin.
You'll need to have:
- Some anime files in your collection
- An account at anidb.net (or willing to sign up).
- PVRX2 1.1.5 (well, earlier version is OK if you don't mind dumping stuff into plugins/common that are not really common).
- Good computer skills to get the files to the right places (I'm not creating an installer at this point)
- Patience with software that has bugs.
