Video Library clone

I finished cloning the Video Library plugin to my satisfaction. Do I need a wiki account to make it available for src/binary distribution? At the very least, I'll probably post it here tomorrow.

Icons still need to be implemented [by someone] since I don't use them all that much. Are the @thumbnail, @previewImage, and @folderPreviewImage properties supposed to work automatically when subclassing BaseButtonListUiTask or must they be implemented manually using GBPVRUiElement?

Sub, is there any possibility of changing the behavior for storing playback position? Right now it doesn't seem to store position unless a video has been stopped during playback. It would be useful to always store info and make position=(-1|length) or something like that to indicate that playback finished.

You'd need to PM blader_se to get a wiki account.

Ok, I'll try and add this for the next release.

The code is slightly disorganized right now, but here it is anyway (dll and skin included). Comments welcome.

/* New Features:
*
* Create a text file called "gbpvr.link" with one path per line
* to merge the contents of other directories with the current one.
*
* Watched files will appear with a gray font. For now, watched
* means that a video is in the database with position > 10 seconds.
*
* Delete shows what's being deleted when prompting for confirmation.
*
* Faster browsing of large directories over the network.
*

Very useful plugin thanks.

Only had a quick play so far, but it mostly works great.
Sometimes doesn't flag a file as watched if I've used IntelliRemote to run it, and doesn't seem to work at all from my Vista 64 client.
No problems at all on the WinXP server though.

I'll do some digging and see if I can spot any causes.

I think that IntelliRemote is a red herring. Until sub changes how things are logged in the database, a show will only become 'watched' if it has been manually stopped at some point during playback (as things are written now). The other problem likely relates to Vista's "compatibility files". The plugin could be using one database while changes are being made to a distinct copy.

I've since made several fixes and added support for thumbnails but I'll wait on uploading a new version until I can optimize things sufficiently.

Sub, is it enough for new plugins to be compatible with Blue or should they also be developed against Slick (and CommunitySkin)?

Blue is the only requirement, the others are optional.

i'm getting error, does it require .net 3.5?

I compiled with 3.5 and I'm using version specific stuff like System.Linq. Someone else may have to answer what the means for system requirements but I don't normally have problems installing the latest updates for stuff like this.

[pBS]

yea, i only had 3.0 installed there...
recording a 3 hr show so will have to wait to reboot...

Is "BaseButtonListUiTask.SelectedItem(Object o)" et al supposed to return the zeroth item on mouse movement? I'd like to know when a new item is selected by keyboard/mouse but this function appears to produce extraneous callbacks. I could go back to what I was doing before but it wasn't very clean.

Also, I don't see a simple way to have the selected list item stay within a 'viewport' until the user scrolls to the top/bottom and has to display previously offscreen items. How is this done in other plugins (using the aforementioned base class)?
