MusicLibrary2 6.6 - Beta

[psycik]

New version.

Includes a couple of little bug fixes: http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?t=28655 and to http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?t=28600

Also included is a very basic MusicLibrary3. It installs them both and you can remove the plugins\MusicLibrary3 directory if you don't want it - or disable the task. To make it work go into the config and set mostly the same options as MusicLibrary2 - including the DB - it defaults to MusicLibrary3.db3 but you can just change this.

Also included in this release is the start of dynamically loaded tag reading dlls. I've included the entagged-sharp dll which reads most things, coming very soon is the UltraID3 library from Hundred miles software - and the return of album art.

It is a beta, so be fairly careful with the upgrade, backup your existing ML2 dll and database before upgrading.

OH and if you use the external update service, stop it before you upgrade - I haven't got that automatically happening yet.

Seemed to be a fault with the zip file. Should be ok now. Sorry

Seems to work OK on my '99.12/Community skin' installation.
Minor issues:

• If started first there is no item highlighted in the list.
  
• Save playlist still lacks the indicator to enter text.

To replace MusicLibrary2.

Muisclibrary3 is a working version that is designed solely for the PVRX2 UI.

It will contain most of ML2 and will hopefully be the way forward. At the moment, it views the default collection and plays, and plays playlists.

It would not be suiltable for you as it doesn't yet implement the jukebox mode that you like so much.

Mine has the indicator. This is on blue skin though.

Check you skin file has this line in the specialElements

Code:

<!-- special element sets the start location of the remote text block.  textloc item is the actual location where types text will start-->
<SpecialElement name="RemoteText" loc="100,450" textloc="50,1" />

And in the compositeimages

Code:

<CompositeImage name="RemoteText" size="300,45">
    <DrawImage filename="remoteText.png" loc="1,1" size="42,25"/>
    <DrawText text="@Style" loc="2,2" size="42,25" textStyle="RemoteKeyStyle" align="Center"/>
</CompositeImage>

Also verify that RemoteText.png exists inthe ML2 skin directory. Maybe fatman_do needs to see this thread.

And my one has something selected the first time I go in to it (gbpvr exectable)

It didn't read (and thus show) any files, I got ~7500 lines like this:

Code:

It resulted in a db size of: 11264 bytes (empty I guess)
Does ML2 use the same reading technique? It's db is still there but I haven't updated it yet.

Can you turn on insane logging and try a re-read. Just want to find out what field that's having a problem on.

Also if yu want to try it, remove the entagged-sharp.dll (or rename it) and let it re-read it shuold then go back to WMP for it's tag.

I think HtV and I have run into the same problem.

Instead of using my old database (which I backed up) I started with a clean db3 for ML2 and scanned. v6.6b doesn't seem to read the ID3 tags properly, because I ended up with an unusable database. Composer, Artist and title for my classical collection which is tagged with ID3v2 ended up in the title field (except for a few files which I couldn't locate)

I will PM my two databases which are based on an almost identical collection, one scanned with v6.5 and one with v6.6.
Insane logs are attached.

lol no jukebox mode yet, I wont bother trying anything on that at the moment then :eek:

are you up for taking feature requests yet for ML3 or do you want to get basic functionality working first ?
