MovieWiz support for mymovies.xml file?

[JavaWiz]

I think the bug might still exist in the thumbnail settings in Settings(1). You can select checkboxes but the Save Setting Button never enables itself.

Will be fixed in next version.

I think you uploaded a version with some testing still enabled. There are a bunch of pop-up boxes as the program starts up and ends.

Will be removed in next version.

The "config order" does not seem to be followed. I just have mymovies.xml selected for the thumbnail and it still looks for the internet pictures.

Will be fixed in next version.

To get it to look for the mymovies.xml file I selected that in the combo box, but it could not find the image. There might be a problem with the path.

If all the movies are in the folder D:\Movies and you are looking at the movie Witness then the path should be "D:\Movies\Witness\mymovies-front.jpg"

Not quite sure I understand the directory structure. Does the below example accurately reflect how it works?

Code:

d:\Movies
      +--\Witness
      |        +--Witness.mpg
      |        +--MyMovies.xml
      |        +--MyMovies-Front.jpg
      +--\Chicken Run (this is a dvd)
               +--MyMovies.xml
               +--\VIDEO-TS
                        +--MyMovies-Front.jpg

or as a list of files, where Witness is an mpg, and Chicken Run is a DVD.

d:\Movies\Witness\Witness.mpg
d:\Movies\Witness\MyMovies.xml
d:\Movies\Witness\MyMovies-Front.jpg
d:\Movies\Chicken Run\MyMovies.xml
d:\Movies\Chicken Run\VIDEO-TS\MyMovies-Front.jpg
d:\Movies\Chicken Run\VIDEO-TS\VIDEO_TS.IFO
...

Hope this helps with your debugging. By the way I want to comment on how easy the interface is to use in GBPVR. I told my 7 year old son that he could now get to his movies with MovieWiz, but did not show him how. I came into the room today and he was watching a movie on the Popcorn hour and I asked him how he found that movie and he said, "I'm playing it through MovieWiz." If he keeps this up I think I'll be able to have him take over the GBPVR setup in a few years. LOL.

Code:

d:\Movies
      +--\Witness
      |        +--Witness.mpg
      |        +--MyMovies.xml
      |        +--MyMovies-Front.jpg
      +--\Chicken Run (this is a dvd)
               +--MyMovies.xml
               +--\VIDEO-TS
                        +--MyMovies-Front.jpg

Right except for mymovies-front.jpg for the DVD. It should be like this.

Code:

d:\Movies
      +--\Witness
      |        +--Witness.mpg
      |        +--MyMovies.xml
      |        +--MyMovies-Front.jpg
      +--\Chicken Run (this is a dvd)
               +--MyMovies.xml
               +--MyMovies-Front.jpg
               +--\VIDEO-TS

Try this version v1.0.28.3

[Mr. Camaro]

Hmmm. Still can't seem to find the image file. Can you make it write out the path it is looking for in the logs so I can check to see if it is looking in the correct place.

Log messages in this version. Just copy the DLL to the plugins/MovieWiz directory (v1.0.28.4)

[Mr. Camaro]

Sorry, I'm still not getting the logging. This is what I see in the logs now.

Code:

2010-01-24 23:15:30.421  VERBOSE [MovieWizConfigForm]  [tsbLookupImage_Click()]  Image lookup requested - MyMovies.xml

2010-01-24 23:15:34.343  VERBOSE [MovieWizConfigForm]  [tsbLookupImage_Click()]  Image NOT found

I would like to see the exact path it is looking for when it decides that the Image was not found.

[Mr. Camaro]

Another thing I just noticed is that the mymovies-front.jpg is a hidden file. Maybe this is why it is not finding it.

[JavaWiz]

Try this version of WizWebHelper (v1.0.15.4). Place it in gbpvr/plugins/common

[Mr. Camaro]

I think you fixed everything with that version. Everything works great now, and the logging is working too.

Thanks for your work on this plug-in. Now I can use "My Movies" to automatically find and save all the content, then use MovieWiz to import all of the information that "My Movies" found. Then everything is available on the Popcorn Hour via MovieWiz.

Thanks again.

Alright! Glad we got it working, sorry it's taken so long. I've been totally swamped at work and have not been able to spend too much time on GBPVR development lately...

I hope to push this version out to the wiki by this next weekend. Feel free to add onto this thread if you find any other problems that should be addressed prior to release.
