My Music 3 Beta (DB Version)

[reven]

the zip file should have the new dbloader in it, unless it failed then i might have f**ked up. if its reporting an error can you post the new error (even if its the exact same one)

also yeah ill make it either (possible both) print out the *bad* sound files to the command prompt or a log file.

I downloaded the file both with explore and firefox, MyMusicDBLoader.exe is from the 7. october 2005 just as the first one, that's why I thought it was the same one

I get these errors when I run it:

try this one, im sure that the first zip has the right file thou....

Okay, I get the same error with thoes files (which have the same date, time and size as the originals).

I also tried to point both the music dir in gbpvr and the mymusic plugin to a dir with a single album which I'm sure has correct tags (both v1 and v2), and I still get the error.

I guess I must have some wrong settings somewhere?

ive updated the zip in the first post and this version should now work, i actually tested it against a fresh database.

the dbloader now checks to see if the db needs to be updated and if it does, it updates it. and there should be less errors. i recommend redirecting the ouput to a text file so you can later review it. to do that just run the command like this

Code:

C:\...\devnz\gbpvr> MyMusicDBLoader.exe > output.txt

that will create a file called output.txt and all the output from MyMusicDBLoader.exe will be redirected there.

sorry for being so slack with these updates, been working on a new website (Joomla is a nightmare to setup if you dont know what you're doing )

Okay, I don't get any errors anymore, so that's a good thing The not quite as good thing is that it isn't adding anything to the DB

First I tried to point it to the root of my music dir, and then I tried to point it directly to a dir with an album, but I get the same result both times..

This is the logs:

MyMusicDBLoder.log:

Code:

hehe, no problem, working on stuff where you don't know what you're doing is usualy more interesting anyways

what type of music files do you have? it also do you have an element in your config.xml file at "/settings/pluginsettings/mymusic/musicfileextensions"

if its not detecting any files its probably because those file types are listed, or i cocked up again. i only tested it with mp3s.

[reven]

come to think it im pretty sure this only works with mp3 files, i remember now i was going to add support for the rest later. whoops....

Well, I have this (maybe some code got stuck from your picture plugin?):

Code:

<MyMusicPlugin>
      <ImageFileExtensions>mp3|ape|ogg|wma</ImageFileExtensions>

and the dir's I have tried had mp3 files (with tags)

[nkh]

hmm, I just tried to add this to the config file:

Code:

<MusicFileExtensions>mp3|ape|ogg|wma</MusicFileExtensions>

but it still won't find anything...
