New Videos Library Plugin

[7ore]

The developers famous words: "It works on my machine..."

I get the following (on row 619)

Code:

2009-06-08 20:47:52.843    VERBOSE    [1]    UiList.GetRenderList()
2009-06-08 20:47:52.848    VERBOSE    [1]    VideosLibrary::GetImage; PREVIEW, C:\tvinsp\Mental, 230x260
2009-06-08 20:47:52.850    VERBOSE    [1]    ReturnToMainMenu()@2
2009-06-08 20:47:52.863    VERBOSE    [1]    System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null.

I hope you can find whats wrong... If I use the previous version it works.
I tried and removed folder.jpg and folder.xml.
I removed hybridview and StrictFolderMetadata.
No change.

New version 1.59.1 uploaded:
- Move files without affecting watched status.
- Fixed crash when verifying directory contents.

This new version works nicely. Thanks!
Tested in slick and blue skin.
Next is daily use testing...

I really like this new folder metadata capability.
Next, I will tweak my community skin to show this data as well.

Thanks for a really great plugin!

I have had some time to try and copy the CoverArt/FolderArt and InfoSummary/FolderSummary from the slick skin to Community skin.

But it seems like only the new FolderArt and FolderSummary is used instead of the old cover/info stuff. Is that as designed, I thought they both where being used ?
Or have I missed some setting somewhere?

I planned to have the folder info placed below the folders icons and the Info to the right of the list. But all info is shown in the folder summary position...

Get this error browsing folders whenever I try to move up one level (..)

tm12: Please post the PVRX2.exe.log file so I can see what your directory structure looks like.

7ore: If you send me the skin you're working on, it'll make testing easier. Thanks.

It'll be a few days before I can upload a new version; I'm in the middle of adding thumbnails and metadata to the details view.

Here's my log file jason.

I'd like to also point out that this is not my live HTPC. It's my test machine with no tuners, running Vista.

[tm12]

This problem does not occur with the default Blue skin but does with the Slick skin.

One more thing... the "Mode" button is also not visible with the Slick skin.

[7ore]

I could send the skin file, but that is very crude at the moment and you can test this easy with the slick skin as well.

It's just to move the placement tag. Original setting is 'loc="0,10"' and 'loc=".5,47"' If you change both to "10,10" or something else that is clearly different from the coverArt and infoSummary settings you should see it. folder.xml and jpg should be placed different from CoverArt and InfoSummary
(this is not a useful setting in a used environment, of course. But should show the issue clearly).

Code:

<Placement name="FolderSummary" loc="10,10" onlyWithoutInset="true"/>
      <Placement name="FolderArt" loc="10,10" onlyWithoutInset="true"/>

[tm12]

It still crashes and the "MODE" button is still disabled.
