MusicPlayer problems

[tkgafs]

I have added this to the next release. You can also press the record button (control K) to toggle the state of the selected directory (excluded from jukebox or allowed) and I have updated the skins so that you can, if you want, put a little symbol next to excluded items to remind you what they are. The changes to the skin are option; it wil lwork just fine with existing skins too.

Jeff,

thats great I'm off on holiday tonight for a couple of weeks so I'll have something to look forward to when I come home

one other thing that would be very useful in the plugin is to be able to use page-up & down keys and their remote equivalents.

if you have a large music collection it is very slow to move through it on the mvp one line at a time

My-Music implements this functionality quite well as the screen shows many more folders at a time and also allows page up & down via the remote yellow & green [i think]

any chance of something similar so I dont have to run two plugins as I do at the moment

I have problems with MusicAlbums. It doesn't work, and it even damaged the original MP3 player MusicLibrary.
In MusicAlbums I can see my folders and all the MP3 files, but when I try to play a MP3 file I get this error message:
Error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

History:
First I installed MusicAlbumsII, it didn't work. It is based on MusicAlbums, so I thought that it would help to install that. It still didn't work.
Then I read in the forum that MusicAlbums is maybe dependent of VideoArchive plugin, so I installed that. I still cannot play MP3 files.

After the insatllation of these plugins I cannot even play the MP3 files with the standard "Music Library" from the original GB-PVR installation, I get the same error message. It worked fine until I installed the MusicAlbums plugins.
Another strange thing, when I stop a Live TV play og stop playing a recorded show, I also get the same error message: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. This also happened after installation of the plugins. I never had this error before.

I have attached logfiles in case anyone is able to help.
At timestamp 13.37 I try to run a MP3 via the MusicLibrary
At timestamp 13.38 I try via MusicAlbums
All plugins were downloaded 7th November 2005
The PC is running windows 2000 pro

Later I tried to make a fresh installation of GB-PVR on another PC (win XP). I installed the MusicAlbum plugin, and have the same error. The error message comes in all the same situations, at running MP3 files, at stopping Live TV and at stopping replay of a recorded show.
I tried to remove the MusicAlbum plugin files from the plugin and skin folders, but is has no effect.

Is there any known fix for this problem or do I really have to reinstall everything?

Any suggestions?

Are you talking about Music Albums, or the Music Player plug-in? If it is Music Albums (or Music Albums II), you might want to post in another thread so that the author of these sees your question.

Hi Jeff,
I use the musicplayer a lot. From this, I have a few wishes:
->When the jukebox screen is shown, is it possible to show the album art (default.jpg or folder.jpg) instead of the jukebox picture?
->Would it be possible to also sort a folder on artist? (I have a few folders with very diverse artists.)
Greetz,

[Jeff]

The first request (album art) should already be happening. If you have a fo;der.jpg, .png, or .gf it will be shown. If not, then you see the jukebox picture.

Oops. didn't knwo that. Probably because my folders contain a default.jpg file. Can you add that one too?

Greetz,
