Is there a way to have GBPVR not display video files that have the hidden attrib set ?

I use Miro to download video files, then my own util to convert them to mpeg for use with my MVP. If I delete the files, then Miro shows them as undownloaded. If I leave the file there, then Miro works fine, but GBPVR shows me 2 copies of the video. My util now replaces the orig file with a file of 0 length, and sets the hidden attrib. This fools Miro into flagging it as downloaded (good), but GBPVR still shows the file (drat).

Sorry, this isnt possible at this stage. I'll see if I can add it in future though.

What is the extention on the original file? If you are not using that extention on any other video files that you want to be visible, you can remove it from <VideoLibraryExtensions> section of your config.xml and GBPVR should then ignore them.

you might try replacing the original files with the converted ones...
even sometimes when changing extension, they still play ok...

If he leaves it non-mpeg then the file will be transcoded to mpg on-the-fly for the MVP which defeats his whole purpose.

That does indeed work, thanks.

If I ever get to handing this util out to ppl though, I wouldnt feel comfortable with having them edit their config.xml (and then it would break at each update etc ?).

Thanks sub, if you consider ignoring hidden files in the future.

config.xml doesn't get stomped on at update time. Things like this should survive an update.
