My Videos v4.1

[reven]

Download: My Videos v4.1.0.0

Whats new
- TV.com used for Episode Lookup/Browse (TVTome is no more, the bastards sold out)
- Completely rewrote the episode lookup code (its now like 99% successful, ie 99% of the time it returns the correct show (ive never had a failure, but im sure it wont be 100% damn close thou)).
- Popup Menu and Scan Menu are now configurable via the config application (under My Videos settings/Menus). With the wonderful help of sub (he did the hard part)
- "Find Episode List" - incase a show cant seem to find the correct episode list you can manually look it up (the urls are stored in an xml file)
- Rewrote the Popup menu code, which fixes a few bugs and uses a little less memory
- fixed the missing 'g' for the phone style entry
- fixed a few other bugs

Installation
- unzip all the .dll files into there correct directories (the zip has the directory structure).
- if upgrading from my videos 4.0.x just unzip the new skin files (yes the skin has been updated, but still will work with skins from 4.0.x). You don't need to do anything else (but i suggest you customize the popup menu, remove the items you dont use eg "OFDB" is only useful for germans).
- if not upgrading from 4.0.x read the wiki (http://gbpvr.com/pmwiki/) it explains how to install the plugin

Bugs/Support/Suggestions
- Post a message in the "Plugins/Skin Support forum".

OK, maybe I'm missing something. I had 4.0 installed and working. I downloaded 4.1, unzipped it to a temp folder, and then copied the skin folder (and all subs) into GBPVR, overwriting any files already there. Then I restarted gbpvr, only to find that My Videos is now gone. Did I miss something? :confused:

I've checked config, and My Videos is listed there, and selected, but it just doesn't appear. The error I'm getting in the log appears as follows:

Reven, can you tell me what I did wrong. I thought I followed your directions to a T, but obviously I fouled something up! Please help! :eek:

Thanks,

it looks like you are still using the myvids 4.0 dll. or there is something wrong with the skin directory. (since setttings\popup is no longer is present in the new skin file, but is required in my vids 4.0).

if you need more help start a support thread in the plugins/skin support forum, this is just suppose to be an annoucenment, not support (i hate seeing week old annoucements still at the top ).


ps to check which version of my videos you actually have, go to gbpvr\plugins and select "myvideosplugin.dll" right click it and go to "properties" then click the "version" tab and the "File Version" should be "4.1.0.0"
