MyPictures3 OK in Config but not coming up on Screen?

[jksmurf]

I must be doing something simple but wrong here.

I downloaded the 2 necessary zip files from the WIKI, extracted (installed) in the required GBPVR root dir (with default folders checked for skins, plugins dirs etc), it comes up in the Config OK, I can choose and set the settings, but it simply doesn't appear as a menu item on the Screen (yep, I have it checked as an item in the Config). Does it still one of the other MyPlugins to work as indicated in an old post?

are you using the skin files in the new installation? The same thing happened to me until I made sure that the new skin files were copied as well

if you having installed gbpvr in the default location you will have to change the database connection string in the my pictures config app to point to the actual location of your mydatabase.mdb file.

if you want more help, give more information, simple saying it doesnt work doesnt really say much.

Reven,

Same problem here, looks like it's missing the skin.xml in the OnScreenKeyboard directory (stock blue skin).

oh balls i forgot to include the onscreen keyboard folder in the zip file

download the my videos plugin and just extract that folder to the blue skin (the keyboard isnt used anywhere, but i was working off the latest my vids source when i created this plugin and left it there if i needed it in the future).

Reven:

With the hints above i got my pictures up using the blue skin.

I don't see the playlist button on the screen or in the menu options. Have i missed it somewhere?
I like the on screen settings display, nice touch!

[reven]

you have to bring up the popup menu in fullscreen mode, from there you can select a playlist to play (i know its shown on the screenshot on the wiki, but that was just a bug).

[nightwalker]

I must be losing it here, i'm looking at the popup screen now. there are create thumb, copy, slideshow, random, delete, settings, cancel. Is there more than one popup screen? Trying it in fullscreen doesn't seem to make any difference on the MVP it's already full screen on the MVP

Also a comment if i man, there are things on that popup screen that i can't allow anyone else here to access. I don't want a quest or my wife deleting pictures, just viewing.

Is it possible to reskin taking the "settings and delete" off the popup menu and the main screen and replace with playlists button? I will probably never tell my wife about the popup screen.
