New Videos Library Plugin

[whurlston]

Great. I'm still going through the code so I haven't got quite up to speed on it yet (holidays can be busier than I like).

It is great that this plugin have found a new parent!
I look forward to your improvements!

If you need test resources I will gladly help out.

I was quite happily using Videos Library in the previous version of gbpvr with the slick skin but since changing to 1.4.7 it seems the blue and slick skin dont work(causes program to crash). The Community skin does work though. Is there any easy quick fix for this? could I somehow use the community skin for videos library and the slick one for other screens?

Does the crash give an error message? I've leaned that you need to have at least one video file in the main Library folder or it will crash. I intend to fix this the first chance I get. I just haven't gotten to it due to other obligations.

There is probably something missing that Videos Library wants to load, like a background image or something like that.

Check what the exception says (Copy and paste it to Notepad to make it easier to read). Probably you will find that there is some element (like an image) that can't be found. See if you can find another file with the same name in another folder and copy it to the location that the exception states.

Or, if you can't find any reason for the crash, post the exception here.

Edit: one minute late...

Its one of those windows errors-
"PVRX2 has encountered a problem and needs to close" so it doesnt tell you as much as the .NET thing.
Anyway If I click on 'show details' I get the following-

slick skin-
error signature
EventType : clr20r3 P1 : pvrx2.exe P2 : 1.0.0.0 P3 : 39
P4 : videoslibrary P5 : 1.6.1.0 P6 : 4a46971c P7 : 5d P8 : b
P9 : system.invalidoperationexception

blue skin-
error signature
EventType : clr20r3 P1 : pvrx2.exe P2 : 1.0.0.0 P3 : 39
P4 : videoslibrary P5 : 1.6.1.0 P6 : 4a46971c P7 : 447 P8 : 52
P9 : system.argumentnullexception

Community skin - no error

Note that if the error screen is ignored the program keeps going fine.

hello: I also crash when running videos library on gbpvr version 1.4.7 in the blue skin. GBPVR main menu crashes when I use the slick skin also on my system now.
I thought you would like to know it is not an isolated problem.
I do not have the community skin installed to test.

I have the same issue. I have been using videos library with 1.4.7 for months. My whole setup crashed about a week ago and I had to do a fresh install. Now the skin seems to be giving me problems.

I don't know whats going on here. I thought I did but it was not that easy (is it ever).

On my XP, I did a clean install of Videos Library and it works fine with the blue skin. On my win7 x64 it works fine with Community but it crashes with the blue skin.
Looks like the plugin loops on the folder images until it crashes.
In the log there are about 1000 lines for rendering and caching folder images again and again until this error is shown:

I'll look into this on Monday. Does this crash occur if there are video files in the main folder or only when there are no files just subfolders?
