Video Archive Update Released

[Jeff]

I just found and fixed a bug in the blue va panel skin (the recording icon was being cut off) and in the code that fetches ikages from the Internet for DVDs. If you downloaded earlier tonight, you should update.

Hey Jeff. Does the low disk space routines now monitor UNC paths?

[gomjabar]

Just installed it and its working great fixed several problems I had with old version.

Hey Jeff. Does the low disk space routines now monitor UNC paths?

Yes, it should, although I haven't done a great deal of testing on this since my UNC drives all have lots of space.

[LilY0da]

woohoo, will test and let U know (all my disks are full )

Have one glitch with Mpeg2dvd. Getting micro-pauses every 2 or 3 seconds with the finished mpeg file. Tried moving the file to a different computer and playing with wmp and they are still there. I updated to cuttermaran 1.66 but no luck. I also tried just using dvddecryptor and watching the vob files it outputs and they are clean so im guessing the problem is with besweet or mplex?

The UNC path works, but reports strange values
I have 3 paths defined, all hosted on the same drive. The recording one, the Video one and the DVD one

Here's what's reported

Recordings Drive
\\ROQUEFORT\MEDIA\TV_SHOWS\
Total Space: 191,420.00 MB
Free Space: Insufficient space (shows in green)
Pending: 59,543.26 MB (shows in blue)

Video Drive 1
\\Roquefort\media\TV_Shows\
Total Space: 191,420.00 MB
Free Space: 6,308.00 MB (shows in green)
Pending: N/A (shows in blue)

DVD Drive 1
\\Roquefort\media\AVS_Videos\
Total Space: 191,420.00 MB
Free Space: 6,308.00 MB (shows in green)
Pending: N/A (shows in blue)

Any idea why the remaining for the same drive can be read in the second and third case, and not in the first?

[Jeff]

The reason is that you have 6 GB of free space but the plug-in is estimating the the scheduled recordings will require 59GB of space, which means that you won't have any free space left after recording them (that why it says Insufficient space). It only does the estimated for scheduled recordings for the recordings drive.

I've read what I can find in the wiki, as a newbie, on installing plug-ins and editing configs.
Alas, I am left wanting! I'm very computer savvy, just not familar with this house.

Anyone take pity on me?

[Jeff]

What sort of questions do you have? First install the plugin. Next start the GBPVR config appl, click on the plugins tabs, select the Videos item, and click the Settings buttons. You should then be able to configure the various items.
